  • Summary

  • In this episode, Amanda will be telling Kristen about the murder of Paula Gallant. A case local to Nova Scotia, just outside of Halifax. In 2005, when the news of Paula's murder broke, it shocked the community. As a school teacher, Paula Gallant touched the lives of many, particularly her students, who cherished her as much as she cherished them.

    Paula Gallant was a wife, mother, daughter, sister, aunt and friend. She was an elementary school teacher who was adored by her students and colleagues, as well as a talented and dedicated artist. At 36 years old, just two days after Christmas in 2005, Paula was found murdered, left in the trunk of her car in the parking lot of the school at which she worked. As year by year passed, Paula’s sisters struggled and fought to keep Paula Gallant’s name in the media and to keep the search for the perpetrator alive. Eventually, it had been almost five years that had gone by, without any indication that Paula’s killer would be found.

    At this point, to the community, it seemed as though the investigation had gone cold. However, unbeknownst to those outside the investigation, officers were working tirelessly behind the scene to gather enough evidence to put Paula Gallant’s murderer away. A case that would finally come to a close through the use of the Mr. Big operation, a tactic created in Canada, which involves an intricate undercover investigation that is designed to uncover the truth surrounding a potential suspect. This investigation, which occurred over the course of ten months, eventually led the perpetrator to elaborately confess to what they had done. This case is the story of two loving sisters who spent every waking day fighting for justice and to spread awareness of violence against women in Paula Gallant’s memory.
