10 Questions for Pierre Hugues Boisvenu
In Canadian victimology, Pierre Hugues Boisvenu has the unfortunate distinction of having been touched by deep tragedy twice. In 2002 his daughter, Julie was murdered in Sherbrooke, Quebec. Three years later his only other daughter was killed in a car accident on her way to visit relatives in Abitibi, Quebec.

In 2004 he founded AFPAD, a Quebec association that works for the benefit of Quebec families of murdered or missing children.
