In the pre-dawn hours of December 10, 2006, 27-year-old Kelly Morrisseau of the Sagkeeng First Nation was found nearly naked and bleeding in the snow of a Gatineau Park parking lot. Seven months pregnant and a mother of three, she was alive when discovered by a man walking his dog but died shortly after arriving at the hospital from multiple stab wounds. An autopsy showed she fought back, and police believe the attacker may have been wounded during the struggle.

Investigators say Morrisseau had been in Ottawa’s Vanier neighbourhood hours earlier and was seen at about 4 a.m. getting into a car with a man described in a released composite as a wavy blond-haired male in his twenties or thirties, driving a 1985–1990 Oldsmobile Cutlass Ciera or Calais. Police believe the meeting may have involved the exchange of sexual favours and that the suspect may have solicited other women in the area; items belonging to Morrisseau and other evidence were reportedly discarded along a now-closed emergency road and in a nearby creek.

No arrests have been made and the case remains unsolved; DNA testing did not link convicted killer Marc Leduc to this murder. A reward has been offered and police have appealed for information. If anyone knew Kelly, saw her that night, or has information about the man or the vehicle, please come forward.
