Synopsis

Kimberly Proctor, an 18-year-old from Langford on Vancouver Island, British Columbia, was abducted on March 18, 2010, by two classmates—16‑year‑old Kruse Wellwood and 17‑year‑old Cameron Moffat. They lured her to Wellwood’s home, where they tortured, sexually assaulted, beat, and strangled her. After her death, they mutilated her body, placed it in a hockey bag, and attempted to incinerate it before abandoning it along the Galloping Goose Trail. Prosecutors built their case using digital evidence—including text chats and messages from World of Warcraft exchanges—where the teens reportedly planned the murder and discussed logistics like where to dispose of her body and how to burn it.

Both Wellwood and Moffat pleaded guilty to first‑degree murder and indignity to a dead body in 2011 and were sentenced to life in prison with no eligibility for parole for at least 10 years, tried as adults. In recent years, parole applications have been denied, with authorities citing their high risk of violent reoffending, psychological assessments pointing to deviant sexual tendencies, and the extreme cruelty of the crime.

Despite the passage of time, the Proctor family remains deeply impacted, continuing to attend parole hearings to oppose any early release, and urging public awareness of the broader issues this case highlighted—like teenage online behavior, manipulation in relationships, and warning signs that went unaddressed.
