On September 8, 2005, Jennifer was going home from a late-night shift at Wendy's, when she disappeared. An extensive search was conducted by many local residents all across much of the Barrhaven area and the disappearance made national headlines across Canada. On September 18, her body was discovered by an off-duty police officer, dumped near a secluded parking lot leading to the Lime Kiln Trail off Moodie Drive in the Stony Stamp Conservation Area. ^[2]

On June 9, 2006, a resident of Barrhaven, Kevin Davis a 24-year-old pizza maker, stripped naked and rushed out onto Fallowfield Road, screaming in the middle of speeding traffic that he killed Jennifer Teague. He was almost hit by an oncoming car as he repeated several times "I killed Jennifer Teague". He was later charged with first-degree murder. During a brief visit at an Ottawa area hospital, he later denied the facts. However, a few days after he approached an off-duty officer leaving a mall and admitted his actions. The officer then called Ottawa Police and was arrested without incident shortly after. ^[3]
