True crime cases from Dominica
This source-led archive begins with the 2023 murders of Daniel Langlois and Dominique Marchand near their Coulibri Ridge eco-resort. It follows the discovery, investigation, road-dispute context, 2026 jury trial and guilty verdicts, while keeping pending sentencing and the announced appeal distinct from the convictions.

One double-murder case resolved by jury verdicts
The Dominica hub currently contains one substantive case file. It is classified as solved / adjudicated because a jury returned guilty verdicts in July 2026. The archive does not present the case as fully final: sentencing remained pending in the latest reliable report located, and defence counsel announced an appeal.
Dominica is the independent Lesser Antillean state officially known as the Commonwealth of Dominica, not the Dominican Republic. Country naming, location and route data are kept separate throughout the map and search indexes so the case cannot be attributed to the wrong jurisdiction.
Cases resolved by supported court outcomes
Verdict, sentencing and appellate status are stated separately so a conviction is not confused with a final sentence or completed appeal.
Cases without an adjudicated perpetrator
Future files will appear here only when their unresolved status and source base can be verified.
How this archive treats the record
The verdicts control classification
A nine-member jury found both defendants guilty of murdering Langlois and Marchand.
Sentence is not invented
The latest dependable status report said sentencing had not occurred; the page does not assume a penalty.
Appeal remains separate
Defence counsel announced an appeal, but no appellate decision was located during this review.
The victims remain central
The file records both lives and community contributions without reproducing graphic detail.
Dominica archive answers
How many Dominica case files are published?
One fully sourced case file is published: the 2023 murders of Daniel Langlois and Dominique Marchand and the July 2026 jury verdicts.
Why is the Langlois–Marchand case classified as solved?
A nine-member jury found Jonathan Scott Lehrer and Robert Thomas Snyder Jr. guilty of both murders on 28 July 2026. The solved label records those adjudicated verdicts, while the page separately notes that sentencing was still pending in the latest reliable report and that the defence announced an appeal.
Have Lehrer and Snyder been sentenced?
The latest reliable reporting located during the 2 November 2026 review, dated 13 October, said both men remained unsentenced while the High Court addressed which judge should conduct sentencing.
Is an appeal pending?
Defence counsel announced after the verdicts that the convictions would be appealed. This archive does not describe the appeal as decided or the verdicts as final beyond review.
Is Dominica the same country as the Dominican Republic?
No. Dominica is the independent Caribbean state between Guadeloupe and Martinique. The Dominican Republic is a separate country on the island of Hispaniola and has its own archive.
