MONTREAL — The woman found shot in the head on a street in Lachine last month has finally been identified as an American wanted on drug and money-laundering charges.

Elizabeth Barrer, 32, was found slumped in the passenger seat of a rented Nissan at 10:10 p.m. on March 19, on du Pacific Ave., in the former Ville St-Pierre area of Lachine. She was taken to a hospital, where she died a short while later.

She had no valid identification papers with her at the time of her death and the car had been rented under another name, adding to the difficulty of figuring out who she was.

Barrer had been wanted for at least seven years in Spotsylvania County, Va., for drug trafficking and distribution.

"Yes, I can confirm that it (the body found in Lachine) is the same person we had opened an investigation on" in 2007, captain Jeff Pearce of the Spotsylvania County Sheriff's Office said on Friday, when asked whether he could confirm the body found in Lachine on March 19 is Barrer.

I always get a shiver up my spine reading stories like this, people think "oh she fucked the wrong guy over" but it's often done just to allay suspicions with no real basis in fact. think about that before you ever agree to do anything for criminals.
