Regarding Dominic's demeanor...he's obviously struggling a bit with the language and also trying to be a bit discreet. He says her pants were a little "off" and I think he's trying not to give too much graphic information away. I still find it interesting that he can tell that she had been dead about 2 hours when they first thought she was a mannequin. I wonder what indecent act they did to her body as well...and so close to the path and people jogging by.
Even Valerie's family seem to believe that Valerie was chosen randomly. I can't understand that.
Also, the police set up a command post at the Cegep today. School has not started yet so there has not been much of a response.
The family put up a memorial near the site where Valerie's body was found. Also, an article from Le Droit where her father says a year before the murder, Valerie said that she would be beaten and burned in the woods:
A year before his death, Valerie Leblanc told her father that she had the impression that she would die burned.
Sylvain Leblanc made a rare public appearance Thursday at the unveiling of memorials in honor of his daughter, murdered and burned woodland behind the CEGEP de l'Outaouais in the Hull sector a year ago .
"Next year, I will die. I'll be beaten and burned, "the girl reportedly announced to his father.
"She just told me, 'This is ca will happen to me next year,' said Sylvain Leblanc. Like that, 'Drette around here, back in the woods. It has not talked long enough that I have the details of what was ... "
Mr. Leblanc added that the conversation did not go further. It was unclear if a print or real threats she had received.
"Be close to your children, added the father of the victim for other parents. When they tell you something, it does not look serious, take it for cash ... There is nothing better than to listen. "
Mr. Leblanc went on a sober tone. "I have just not taken seriously. We did not speak again. I regret not having taken seriously. Unfortunately, we can not go back in time. "
According to this article, the police had no reaction when her father first told them that she had predicted her death. There is a video of the memorial as well:

I keep adding things as I find them:
Here is an interview with Claude Poirier where a woman calls in and says that the police sketch does not look like the "witness" the police are looking for. Some details have not been disclosed that she thinks should be. Namely, the witness who saw the person reported at the time that he was not wearing a baseball cap and that his complexion was that of a First Nations person. The police put the sketch out with the cap because they didn't have a reliable description of the guy's hair. There were also three women, one from Manitoba and two from Maniwaki who's names were also brought up in the interview. My french is not perfect so I will have to watch again to get all the nuances...I assume that they are also missing. Valerie has relatives who are First Nations so she is part Native herself. Interesting. Why does it take a year for all of this to come out?

These three women, all First Nations, went missing in the last few years: Maisy Odjick, Shannon Alexander (both from Maniwaki) and Kelly Morrisseau. Kelly's body was found with stab wounds not far from where Valerie's body was found.
Also, the guy in the police sketch was not wearing a hat or the same clothes as reported. This may cause confusion and stop people from coming forward.
