The latest victim in the Nova Scotia mass murder knew the killer and told her daughter she feared she might be headed home, about an hour before she hit the road on April 19, 2020. A brief release released Wednesday by a public inquiry says Gina Gulet was shot dead around 11 a.m. at her home in Subenacad, about 60 miles north of Halifax, about 10 minutes after a final message to her daughter Amelia Butler. . The mass murder of 22 people had started last night in the rural community of Portapique, 70 kilometers northwest, but the killer escaped from the police, spent the night in an industrial park and continued his outburst. According to the text message exchange, which was also released by the investigation, Goulet had heard and read warnings that Gabriel Wortman, a fellow dentist, was killing people. “Gabriel, this dentist I wanted to work with, is running smoothly with a gun,” Gule wrote to her daughter. At about 9:59 a.m., Goulet wrote, “He knows where I live … I hope he gets caught.” At first, the two discussed how they felt it was unlikely the killer would reach Shubenacadie without being caught, but then the messenger noted that he was still free. “My anxiety has worsened,” the mother wrote at 10:10 a.m., adding that another dentist had just texted her to suggest that she keep her doors locked. The daughter replied at 10:12 a.m .: “I can understand why she would do it. I wish I could give you big, squeezed hugs.” He also reassured her, “this is a long journey from there (Portapik) to your house and you should cross the bay (Kobeqid) unnoticed.” Goulet’s reactions seem to show how quickly people got any information the police would provide. At 10:27 a.m., Goulet texted her daughter, “She’s driving an RCMP-like car. This is wild. Wow,” just 10 minutes after a police tweet revealed that Wortman was driving a copy. patrol car. “Do me a favor to give me peace, hold your phone close so I know I can hold you,” the mother wrote at 10:23 a.m. As the messages went on and on, Butler noted that there were warnings that the killer was in Wentworth, north of Trouro, and at 10:43 a.m., the daughter said the killer could be seen in Debert and Onslow. Goulet wrote that she was thinking of going shopping, but the daughter suggested that it was safer to stay home and wait until the police arrested the killer. Goulet’s latest texts are creepy, as she tells her daughter, “I’m nervous. I hope they start blocking the streets.” He went on to say, “As I said, he’s a smart man. Almost too smart,” referring to Wortman’s ability to make a copy of an RCMP car. According to the synopsis, Goulet tried to call her daughter at 10:58 a.m., but when Butler answered, she did not hear her mother’s voice on the other end. He called her frantically several times. Minutes earlier, the killer had left the scene of the RCMP Const murder. Heidi Stevenson and Joey Webber, a young man who had stopped to help. He was heading to Highway 224, the main highway to Halifax, driving Webber’s SUV. A witness told the public inquiry that Wortman passed by Goulet’s house, but “made a U-turn a little later and returned to her home.” The summary of the investigation says that the killer parked the SUV in the yard of her house, away from the passing vehicles. Minutes later, RCMP officers chased him, looking at the trails as they walked, but from the street they could not see the silver vehicle behind Goulet’s house. The perpetrator is estimated to have been at home for five to 10 minutes, committing the murder before continuing on to the main highway, now driving Goulet’s Mazda. Amelia Butler and her husband David Butler left home at 10:58 a.m., worried about Gule. They encountered a police roadblock and had to bypass it before 11:55 a.m., where the search summary states that “Butler found Gulet dead in her home while Amelia Butler called 911.” According to the family’s statement to the mass loss committee last August, they felt neglected by the RCMP after the murder. “In the days that followed, no police officer ever contacted Amelia and Dave to confirm that Gina was dead. No one approached them to confirm anything. It was obvious to Amelia and Dave that this had happened, but no one “he did not confirm it,” the statement said. He said this happened even though Amelia and Dave Butler gave at least four police officers their information and phone numbers and asked police to contact them.
