- On January 27, 2008, Boudreau received a 20-year prison term after admitting to the second-degree murder of her 12-year-old daughter, Karissa, by strangulation.
- At a parole hearing held at the women's correctional facility in Truro, N.S., the board was informed that Boudreau had participated in rehabilitation programs, collaborated with mental health professionals, and assisted the prison chaplain, while she rated her own rehabilitation progress between 6 and 7 on a scale of 1 to 10.
- A board member noted, "there's still work to be done," emphasizing Boudreau's awareness of needed progress on relationships, emotional management, and handling stressful obstacles.
- The parole board ruled Boudreau is not ready to live in a community and must return to supervised settings at night, with supervised day passes intended to aid her reintegration while ensuring community safety.
