Edmonton family desperate for answers after man found nearly frozen to death

Dashcam video obtained by the Morin family shows Jennon continuing to walk down 23 Avenue, closer to 119 Street, still in the direction of home. But he never arrived.
Lindsay Beaudry remembers the last conversation she had with her junior high sweetheart before their world turned upside-down late last week.
“He said, ‘Ok I love you, I love you.’ I said, ‘I love you too.’ Because we say I love you about 20 times before we hang up the phone.”
Last Wednesday night, Jennon Morin and his brother were at Grand Villa Casino in the Ice District gambling and watching the Oilers play the St. Louis Blues.
Morin was happy because he’d won money. He and his brother had been drinking, so they took the LRT home.
Heading in different directions, they separated at Bay Enterprise Square, with Jennon’s brother texting Beaudry when they each got on their respective trains.
Surveillance video, confirmed by Edmonton Police, shows Jennon walking away from Century Park transit station just after 10 p.m. Wednesday night heading westbound on 23rd Avenue towards his home in Terwillegar.
Beaudry said the plan was for him to take a taxi from Century Park that night because it was nearly -30 with the wind chill.
“I’m not too sure why there was no taxi or how come he decided to continue walking. Not sure exactly what transpired there,” she said.
