Christine Jessop

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Christine Marion Jessop was a nine-year-old Canadian girl from Queensville, Ontario who was abducted, raped, and murdered by an unknown criminal in October 1984. Her body was found about 50 km from her home, in Durham Region on New Year's Eve of the same year.

Jessop's murder led to one of Canada's most famous wrongful conviction cases. Guy Paul Morin was initially convicted of the crime, and then exonerated by DNA evidence in 1995. As of 2007 the murder remains unsolved.
