The friend of a Canadian killed in Mexico says she spoke to Gabriele Schart on the phone just moments before the woman was shot in a gas station robbery.
Raquel Shulman says Schart was making the long journey by road back to Canada with a friend when they made a stop outside of Queretaro City, Mexico to fuel up.
Shulman says she's trying to process what happened as she mourns a friend who had a great sense of adventure and loved to travel. "I spoke to her while she was at the gas station she was killed at," Shulman said in a phone interview from the Greater Toronto Area.Schart was travelling from Zipolite, Mexico, with a friend and pets, and had expressed concerns over bandits targeting motorists on Mexican highways, one of her sons wrote in an online post.
Shulman said she knew Schart for more than 15 years and met her at a bar in Canada where they discovered they were dating the same man.
