Avoid Edmonton Canada at all cost-Too True - You Could Be Next Corpse!! More!
Many residents are starting to wonder, whether the serial killer of the dozens
of women, may in fact be a COP, a lawyer, or even a judge? Is that why the incompetent Edmonton police, DO NOT WANT TO ARREST THE KILLER - because he is one of their own? From: (glork) Newsgroups: can.politics Subject: Edmonton Alberta - Haven For Serial Killers Date: 8 Aug 2005 20:26:30 GMT INDEPTH: EDMONTON MURDERS Edmonton's murdered women CBC News Online | Updated June 20, 2005 EDMONTON MURDERS: Interactive map & timeline [Flash presentation] Get Flash player Police in Edmonton are looking for someone whom many people are calling a serial killer, targeting women. They have released a profile of a man they believe has killed several prostitutes and have offered a $100,000 reward for information leading to his arrest. The profile prepared by the RCMP's Behavioural Science Branch suggests he: * Drives a reliable, high-mileage truck, van or sport utility vehicle, and is comfortable driving in rural areas. * Likes to hunt, fish, camp or participate in other outdoor activities. * Has a past or present connection to the area south of Edmonton, including Leduc, Camrose and New Sarepta. * May clean his vehicle at odd times of the day. Since 1983, the bodies of more than 20 Edmonton women have been found. All are described by police as being prostitutes or having high-risk lifestyles and only five of the cases have been solved. The site where remains of 22-year-old Cara King were found in 1997. The situation has stoked the growing fear in the city's estimated yearly population of 400 sex trade workers. Kourch Chan is a social worker with Crossroads, an outreach program for Edmonton sex trade workers. In an interview with CBC News Online in 2003, he said many of his clients had been "nervous and quite scared," since the bodies of Melissa Munch and Monique Pitre were discovered that month. "People are a little more hesitant to get out," he said. "There's a lot of speculation that there's one person who could have (committed the murders)." While RCMP investigators say they have no information to prove any of the deaths are related, they have joined forces with Edmonton city police to explore the possibility. City police are reopening all old case files involving missing women to see if there is any link to the most recent crimes. Here is a list of women who have been found under similar circumstances since 1983: * May 6, 2005: The body of sex-trade worker Ellie May Meyer, 33, is found near Sherwood Park. * April 18, 2005: RCMP in Alberta identify the body of Charlene Gauld, 20, who burned remains were found near Camrose. * Jan. 25, 2005: The body of 19-year-old Samantha Tayleen Berg is discovered under snow in a parking lot on Edmonton's North Side. The teenager worked in the sex trade. * June 11, 2004 The body of 19-year-old Rachel Quinney is found in a wooded area near Sherwood Park, an Edmonton suburb. * July 7, 2003 The body of 40-year-old Katie Sylvia Ballentyne, who worked in the sex trade, is found in Leduc County, about 20 km south of Edmonton. She is the fourth female found outside Edmonton in 2003, the fifth in 10 months. Her body was located in a field near Range Road 235, just north of Township Road 500. * April 12, 2003 The skull and remains of 29-year-old Debbie Lake, a former prostitute, are found near Highway 623 near Miquelon Lake Provincial Park, approximately 70 km southeast of Edmonton. * Jan. 12, 2003 20-year-old Melissa Munch is found dead in a stand of trees on a farmer's field west of Range Road 220 and south of Highway 16 in Strathcona County. The discovery is made four days after the body of Monique Pitre was found less than 10 kilometres away. There were an estimated 400 sex trade workers in Edmonton in 2003. * Jan. 8, 2003 The frozen body of Monique Pitre, 30, is found in a field south of Fort Saskatchewan (Range Road 222 and Township Rd). There is trauma to her entire body. * Sept. 23, 2002 The burned body of 28-year-old Edna Bernard is found in a field east of Leduc, near Range Road 245, north of Highway 623. * Jan. 27, 2001 24-year-old Kelly Dawn Reilly is found dead behind a gravel operation in the area of Range Road 264 and secondary highway 633, near Villeneuve. * Sept. 1, 1997 22-year-old Cara King is found in a canola field in Sherwood Park (Highway 214 and Hwy. 16), east of Edmonton. * June 14, 1997 The body of 24-year-old Jessica Cardinal is found in an alley behind a commercial building at 9325-111th Avenue. Her body is discovered behind a discarded shelving unit. Edmonton police have no suspect in her death. * Oct. 19, 1997 The body of Joyce Hewitt is found in Sherwood Park, near 17th Street and 89th Avenue.

Police have no suspect in her death. * Feb. 11, 1993 The partially decomposed body of 25-year-old Elaine Ross is found stuffed under a bed in a motel room on 183rd Street near Stony Plain Road, Edmonton. Autopsy results were inconclusive and a cause of death is unknown, but police are treating it as a homicide. * Dec. 21, 1990 Lorraine Wray, a 46-year-old masseuse and mother of one, is found strangled in the bathroom of her Edmonton business, West End Studio, at 15526 Stony Plain Road. According to Edmonton police spokesperson Dean Parthenis, several autopsies were performed, leading investigators to determine "manual strangulation" as the cause of death. * Oct. 25, 1990 29-year-old Mavis Mason is found stabbed to death on a rural road west of Edmonton. * Oct. 25, 1989 Bernadette Ahenakew, a 22-year-old mother of three, is found dead in a ditch alongside a rural road near Sherwood Park. * Sept. 13, 1988 The body of 20-year-old Georgette Flint is found in Elk Island National Park.

Edmonton police do not suspect this murder was connected with the others.

"We've had our share of (body) discoveries," Const. Darren Anderson with the Strathcona County RCMP said yesterday from the scene just east of Highway 21 and north of Township Road 534. "We do have a lot of isolated areas that I guess are convenient for trying to dispose of a victim. "Any death like this is certainly suspicious." WORKING THE FIELD The farmer was tilling his field with a tractor about 11 p.m. Friday, planning to work through the night, when he spotted something strange in the distance, a few hundred metres into the field, said Anderson. As soon as the farmer found the body, he called RCMP, and officers sealed off the area until yesterday morning, when white-suited forensics investigators arrived and set up a blue tent over the remains. The scene is only about six kilometres southwest from where the slain body of Rachel Quinney, 19, was found in June 2004. Two other slain prostitutes were found near Quinney's remains the year before. The RCMP-led Project KARE team probing the murders of Edmonton prostitutes found dumped outside the city is providing assistance with this latest investigation and was on scene yesterday. KARE is probing the unsolved deaths of at least 18 prostitutes across the province, some dating back 20 years. The oldest case dates back to 1932 and the most recent to April 16, when 20- year-old prostitute Charlene Gauld's burned body was found near Camrose. The task force has indicated a serial killer may be responsible for at least some of the prostitute slayings. But Anderson yesterday urged against jumping to conclusions. "We have to be very careful we don't make any speculations ... we don't know exactly what we're dealing with here. We're really in the dark on this one until we can get the autopsy back." An autopsy is planned for tomorrow morning. Anderson said the female's body had decomposed, but he couldn't speculate on how long it had been there. The body was clothed and had not been burned, he said. 'GREAT PRECAUTION' Joining the KARE team yesterday was the RCMP major crimes unit and forensic unit. "It's a great precaution to have (KARE) at the ground level at the beginning," Anderson added. Jean Archer, whose farm is just south of the latest grisly discovery, believes a serial killer is at work. "I think it's somebody who knows the area pretty well," said Archer. "This is some maniac on a rampage." About a kilometre north of the field, Sally Froese was shocked when told a body had been found near her home of three years. Holding her 10-month-old son in her arms, she said she still feels safe because the area slayings don't seem random - sex-trade workers seem to be the target. "But still, someone has lost a loved one." Today, ground search crews will continue combing the area, looking for clues. In 1997, 38-year-old mother of three Connie Grandinetti was found dead near where Quinney's body was found. She'd been shot twice in the back of the head by her nephew, who was found guilty of murder in the crime. There is so much bad news about this place, with more and more businesses leaving town, some quietly, others with bad p.r. sessions! Trauth is telling the truth, and not even ALL of it. He is not reporting on the crooks in the city tax department, who got caught giving a lawyer a discount of HALF A MILLION DOLLARS in assessment on his house, while shafting neighbours with over-assessments!! Corruption, wouldn't you say? _________________________________________ Usenet Zone Free Binaries Usenet Server More than 120,000 groups Unlimited download http://www.usenetzone.com to open account |
