About this listen
On December 2, 2012, a supervised visitation in Drummondville, Quebec turned into a nightmare. Sonia Blanchette, a mother embroiled in custody disputes and emotional turmoil, committed an unfathomable act: the murder of her three young children — all under the age of six.
This episode of Verona Investigates: Women Who Kill examines the months leading up to the killings, documenting Blanchette’s deteriorating mental state, escalating paranoia, and the red flags that were tragically overlooked. We explore the visitation room where the crime occurred, the community’s overwhelming grief, and the legal aftermath that raised urgent questions about mental health and child protection systems.
A chilling and heartbreaking case — one that continues to resonate across Canada more than a decade later.
Trigger Warning: Violence involving children.
