Episode 13 - The Murder of Jolene Cote
On the evening of Wednesday, October 12, 2011 - 36 year old Jolene Cotes had just finished playing in a soccer tournament with her team the Spruce Grove Saints at the Edmonton Soccer Centre West in Edmonton, Alberta. After leaving the soccer centre, Jolene stopped at a local Walmart on Stony Plain Road to pick up some items and then left the Walmart at 1040pm to drive the 15-20 minute distance to the family acreage in Parkland County, just outside the city of Edmonton. The next morning on Thursday, Oct 13th around 6 am Jolene was found by her husband outside the family home in a grassy area dead with a massive gash on her head and to this day nobody knows who murdered the mother of two.
Yet in the 13 years since Jolene was murdered RCMP have said in interviews that “they don't believe robbery was a motive and that Cote was deliberately attacked”.
The unsolved murder of Jolene Cotes is still on the minds of those who new and loved her and they continue to work every day to keep Jolene’s story in the public and to bring the killer or killers to justice.
