Rest in peace Hilary - may justice be swift and severe - your life ended way before it should have.
 
I'm so sorry to read this. :(

Whyaduck, thankyou for all the updates.

I can see why some have to leave WS to regroup at times, seems like they just keep coming up "found deceased"...just noticed that Jayme Austin thread now says that. :(
 
I just got a message from my sister who lives about 20 minutes away that the area where Hilary was discovered would only have been accessible with an ATV (all terrain vehicle) like a four-wheeler. A suspect is in custody but no other info yet.

16 year old teen runaway Theresa Meadows just contacted her family this month, alive and well - last seen when she disappeared in 2004! It's all too rare that kids return, but they do sometimes. I find those few happy endings have to keep us going.

I had so prayed for Hilary's safe return , but it was not to be. One thing I found inspiring is her mother's devotion to finding her daughter. It should be a lesson to us all. I grew up in the Miramichi area . The whole situation is so sad. Hold your children close every chance you can.It may be your last.

Body found is missing N.B. teen's: RCMP

RCMP have confirmed that the body found on New Brunswick's Acadian Peninsula earlier this week is that of 16-year-old Hilary Bonnell, who went missing from the Esgenoopetitj First Nation two months ago.

Although autopsy results still aren't in, Insp. Roch Fortin said Saturday there is little doubt that it is Hilary.

"We only have one missing person in the Acadian Peninsula. The clothing and some of the evidence found at the scene, with all the evidence that we have at the scene and how we were led to the scene, we are 100 per cent sure that this is Hilary," he said.

"However, the DNA and testing will conclude beyond any reasonable doubt."

'I will never hold my baby girl again'

ESGENOOPETITJ - A sacred bonfire burned on into the night in this First Nations community on Friday, as a people stung by heartbreak and disbelief stood watching the flames.

...

"I really thought we were going to find her alive, I wanted her to come home, but now she is coming home in a box," said Pamela Fillier, Hilary's mother, with tears streaming down her cheeks as she clutched her husband Fred's arm on Friday night.

"My daughter is my life, she is my life, not was. That is my only daughter and my only daughter is dead."

...

"Instead of planning a homecoming, now I have to plan my daughter's funeral," Pamela Filler said...

"I will never get to hold my baby girl again."

As a mother, my heart breaks for Hilary's mother in this tremendous loss.
 
I just read this today. Apparently someone tried to burn down Christopher Bonnell's home in Burnt Church last night.

http://www.ctv.ca/servlet/ArticleNe...ains_autopsy_091114/20091114?hub=TopStoriesV2

I read in L'Acadie Nouvelle, a french newspaper from the area, that the second home searched in Tabusintac was in fact a garage. The article also links Curtis Bonnell to the crime although charges haven't been given yet. Hilary's cousin was arrested and charged with the sexual assault and confinement of a 17 year old girl and appeared in court just before Hilary's body was found.

Dead N.B. teen's community hopes for change

Members of the Eskinuopitijk First Nation band council are expressing hope for change after the death of a teenager from their community in northeastern New Brunswick.

Now that they know the fate of 16-year-old Hilary Bonnell, who went missing more than two months ago, Coun. Curtis Bartibogue said he hopes they can focus on the future.

"We got to start looking at towards preventing it from ever happening again, look at the security of our community and hopefully, I could see the RCMP, after this has all blown over, to continue working with our community," he said.

Dental records confirm body is that of missing N.B. teen

The New Brunswick RCMP have confirmed that the body found in a wooded area in Tracadie-Sheila is that of Hilary Bonnell, the teenager who disappeared from the Esgenoopetitj First Nation two months ago.

An RCMP statement said the positive identification was made through Bonnell's dental records.

The police investigation is continuing and while an autopsy has been performed, the analysis is expected to take several weeks.

The community, commonly known as Burnt Church, is still trying to process the tragic news, said band spokesman Alex Dedham.

"There's a lot of grief in the community," he said. "There's a lot of... we'll say, accusations. People are looking for answers, and they're slow [in] coming."

ESGENOOPETITJ - Police involved in the criminal investigation surrounding the disappearance and murder of Hilary Bonnell say that charges are being prepared against a suspect already in custody on an unrelated matter.

RCMP Insp. Roch Fortin said yesterday police are still awaiting lab results to be returned in light of an autopsy conducted on Hilary's remains and also need to conduct a few more interviews before formal charges can be laid.

"We must determine if other people are involved or not in the disappearance of Hilary Bonnell," Fortin said. "That's where our priority is right now.

"Either we're going to charge some individuals or we're going to clear them."

Fortin confirmed that RCMP will also pursue charges against individuals who provided false information which led police to Portage River during the search for Hilary.

Sounds like it could be who many people think it is, her cousin.
 
Hundreds mourn Hilary Bonnell
Published Friday November 20th, 2009

Teen laid to rest in Esgenoopetitj First Nation yesterday

ESGENOOPETITJ - As the setting sun cast a stunning purple hue over the calm waters of Miramichi Bay, a grieving mother wept over her daughter's casket.

More than two months after her disappearance, Nancy Hilary Bonnell was finally laid to rest yesterday during a funeral service held at St. Anne's Roman Catholic Church on Esgenoopetitj First Nation.

"Thank God nobody is hurting her anymore "¦ she was lost but now she's home," said Pamela Fillier, Hilary's mother.

Well over 500 people came out to mourn the death of the 16-year-old, with a funeral procession of more than 200 of Hilary's family and friends being led into the quaint church to the sounds of traditional aboriginal drums.

What followed was an emotional service containing Roman Catholic and Mi'kmaq elements, led largely by Bishop Robert Harris of the Saint John Diocese.

With her husband Fred by her side, Fillier clutched an eagle feather throughout the ceremony, gently stroking Hilary's casket with it periodically.

Chiefs from First Nations across Atlantic Canada were on hand to show their support, as was Lt.-Gov. Graydon Nicholas, who shared a few words with the family during the short service.

"It is a privilege for me to be here, to be with you and to let you know that our thoughts and our prayers are with you," said Nicholas.

Not sure about this publication, never heard of it before and it seems to be from the Kitchener area. Here is an excerpt from the article:

Instead of an easily–explained murder by a sociopathic stranger, or mentally unstable outsider, it has been revealed that the suspect being held in custody is her cousin, Curtis Bonnell. He is rumoured to have disclosed the location of her body to authorities earlier in the week. More information was reported and the case only got more complicated. Curtis himself is a repeat sex offender, released from prison two years ago after serving five for sexual assault. He was actually being held by police in connection with another sexual assault that occurred the same morning as Hilary herself disappeared.
