Episode notes
In 1984, nine-year-old Christine Jessop was abducted and murdered in Queensville, Ontario. Her neighbor, Paul Morin, was wrongfully convicted based on faulty forensic evidence. Nearly a decade later, DNA testing proved his innocence and changed the course of Canadian justice.
This episode of Northern Dark examines how investigators got it wrong, the devastating impact on Morin’s life, and how new science exposed the truth.
