It had been a few months, but Kimberly Squirrel was out. After serving some time at the Pine Grove Correctional Centre near Prince Albert, the 34-year-old had been released and her family says the mother of six may have been struggling. She's gone to jail to get sober before, according to her older sister Kara Squirrel, and maybe she was trying to do it again. In an interview with CBC, Squirrel's sister Kara said she would have been ready and willing to pick up Kimberley from the provincial institution. Kimberly and Kara Squirrel, born just a year apart, were tight growing up, with Kimberly serving as Kara's "protector" at school.
