Case 179: Christie Marceau
Added 2021-06-05 06:42:02 +0000 UTCChristie knew that Chand had been struggling lately, but she couldn’t have anticipated what he said next. Her heart sank as he stated: “I put 40 pills into a drink and I’ve crushed them all. And if you don’t get to my house within 10 minutes, I’m gonna drink them.”

2021-06-07 10:12:35 +0000 UTCI remember this case being a big deal here in New Zealand when I was younger , thanks so much for your amazing attention to detail and such impressive research. Hearing this breaks my heart for not only the marceu family but the New Zealand justice system as a whole 💔

2021-06-07 09:40:43 +0000 UTCThis is one of the most tragic cases I’ve heard in awhile. So, after the first incident, he wasn’t considered dangerous and psychotic enough to be committed. But after he murders this poor girl, now he is considered legally insane and her family will never receive justice. How brutally awful.

2021-06-06 04:32:21 +0000 UTCThis case hit me close to home. What a terrible tragedy to befall a beautiful young woman with so much promise. The case briefly touched on stalking as Christie confided that she was being followed and watched by Chand. In the US there has been improved laws against stalking in recent years that has given victims more rights. It used to be that a stalker had to actually do something before police could act or arrest. I’m curious if NZ has any stalking laws and if so have they been promoted so young women know their rights.

2021-06-06 01:25:14 +0000 UTCThis was a hard one. Must of been hard to write. How can any justice system allow this to happen? The judge who let him out on bail? Did he read the letter? To the end? Great job on this one Casefile team. Bravo.
