Report calls for overhaul of procedures after Amber Alert was repeatedly delayed in case of father who abducted and killed his daughters
A Quebec man who killed his daughters before taking his own life last July was troubled by an impending divorce and was in psychosis, a coroner’s investigation into their deaths has concluded.
The coroner found a number of factors hampered the investigation and if things had been handled differently, the girls might have been found more quickly and their deaths prevented. The coroner recommended Quebec provincial police conduct an exhaustive overview of their procedures when a child disappears and review their communications strategy.
According to his doctor, Mr. Carpentier had finally met a lawyer in June, 2020, about getting divorced and on July 8, received a document to sign, which may have triggered what happened. In another recommendation, the coroner said the government should send directives ensuring that health information is shared quickly during an emergency situation.
