Reading through the coroner's report on Tuesday, Amélie Lemieux felt vindicated.
The 85 pages echoed what she "always knew": that Quebec provincial police made a series of missteps when searching for her daughters.
Norah, 11, and Romy, 6, were abducted and killed by their father in July 2020. Since then, Lemieux has held steady in her belief that police acted too slowly following their disappearance -- and coroner Luc Malouin agrees.
"The coroner's report and I have been fighting for the truth for three years," Lemieux told CTV News Wednesday in an interview, which has been translated from French.
"In effect, it just reassures me to say, 'Okay, you're not the only one to think so, or indeed you weren't. You didn't come out of nowhere, you know -- you were right.'"
"I always knew that my daughters could have been alive, that they could have been found in time."
In his report published Tuesday, Malouin said though he doesn't blame them for the deaths, the Sureté du Québec (SQ) waited too long to search for the girls and issue an Amber Alert after they vanished on July 8, 2020.
