Hales tells fake crime boss that he strangled Daleen Bosse
Douglas Hales tells an undercover police officer posing as a fake crime boss that he strangled a Saskatoon woman while she was either passed out or asleep in her car because she wasn’t willing to have sex with him after they met at a nightclub.
The video-recorded interview between Hales and the undercover officer, whose name is banned from publication, was shown Monday morning during Hales’ first-degree murder trial at Saskatoon Court of Queen’s Bench. He’s accused of killing Daleen Bosse, a mother and university student who went missing on May. 18, 2004.
On Aug. 7, 2008, Hales tells the fake crime boss that he met Bosse at Jax Nightclub, where he worked as a doorman. He said she was “coming on to me strong,” but got kicked out of the bar and went to sleep in her car. Hales said he drove her car to an off-sale to buy alcohol, and that the deal was if he bought her alcohol and cigarettes she would do what he wanted her to do.
After drinking and driving around on the outskirts of Saskatoon for a couple of hours, Hales told the fake crime boss that Bosse said she wanted to go home.
