Jasmine Richardson: The 12-Year-Old Who Killed Her Family

This week on Seeing Red, we’re covering one of Canada’s most disturbing family annihilation cases. In 2006, 12-year-old Jasmine Richardson and her 23-year-old boyfriend murdered her entire family in Medicine Hat, Alberta. It was a crime that shocked the country — not just because of the brutality, but because of Jasmine’s age. How does a child become involved in something so calculated? How much influence did her older boyfriend really have? And what happens when teenage obsession, manipulation, and fantasy spiral into something irreversibly real? This is the case of Jasmine Richardson. ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Theme music arranged and composed by Holly-Jane Shears: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Learn more about your ad choices.
