sad story - hits close to home
My friend Miranda told me about this sad story about Chrissy Predham Newmana, a 28 year old Ottawa native who moved to St. John's two years ago and was recently murdered.
She was found slain and there is some suspicion around her estranged husband. Sadly, she is survived by a a 16 month old daughter (Ireland) who is now in protective custody as a result.
Miranda's co-worker (Shelly Cournya) is a friend of Chrissy's mother and has enthusiastically set up a trust fund for little Ireland. Shelly has been interviewed by the CBC and has managed to raise $11,000 so far but has another $14,000 to go in order to reach her target.
Chrissy is about our age... scary!!! makes it hit a bit closer to home eh?
