Diane Gloria Paul, 54, was found dead inside the family’s two-storey home south of Dauphin, Manitoba, on the night of March 13, 2007. RCMP responded around 11:15 p.m. and discovered her in the bedroom with a gunshot wound; investigators later reported she was shot while she slept and an autopsy ruled the death a homicide. Family members who were at the house described blood visible around her mouth and nose and said there was no sign of a struggle in the bedroom.

The firearm used in the killing was never recovered. Days after the killing, Dauphin RCMP took Diane’s husband, Alex Paul, into custody for questioning and described him at the time as a person of interest; he was released about 24 hours later without charge. Other family members agreed to polygraph exams and were treated as witnesses; police did not publicly name a suspect. Over the years RCMP have continued to investigate and the case remains unsolved.

Did anyone who lived in or visited the area around Riding Mountain National Park in March 2007 see or hear anything that might help resolve who shot Diane Paul?
