This episode of True Crime All the Time examines the 2015 murder of 18-year-old Brittany Gargall in Saskatoon, Canada, whose body was found on a remote road with signs of strangulation. The investigation centered on her friend Cheyenne Antoine, who initially provided a shifting alibi and later confessed to killing Brittany during a drug-fueled argument at a house party. Despite multiple lies and a pattern of criminal behavior, Cheyenne was charged with manslaughter rather than murder due to lack of proven criminal intent, receiving a seven-year sentence. The case drew criticism for its leniency, especially given Cheyenne’s repeated violations during incarceration, including drug use, assaults, and unauthorized absences. Her statutory release was repeatedly revoked, yet she continued to be granted conditional freedom, raising serious questions about the justice system’s ability to protect society and deliver meaningful accountability. The episode concludes with a somber reflection on whether justice was truly served for Brittany, whose family continues to grapple with unanswered questions and a sense of profound loss.
Cheyenne Antoine was convicted of manslaughter in the 2015 murder of her friend Brittany Gargall, despite a lack of clear motive and her claims of memory loss due to drugs and alcohol.
The breakthrough came years after the murder when DNA on the black braided belt used to strangle Brittany was matched to Cheyenne, confirming her presence at the scene.
Despite a dismal track record in prison—including assaults, drug use, and escapes—Cheyenne was repeatedly granted conditional release, sparking debate over Canada’s parole system.
The case highlights the challenges of prosecuting crimes without clear intent or motive, especially in cases involving substance abuse and impaired memory.
Brittany’s family and the public question whether a seven-year sentence for a homicide, especially one involving a young woman with dreams of building hotels, constitutes true justice.
