Police Say Remains Discovered by Police Dog Unit

Sunday, October 10, 2010 01:32 PM

Prince George, B.C.- The remains of a woman found Friday night in L.C. Gunn Park were discovered by a police dog unit. “Since late September early October 2010, the Prince George RCMP has dedicated extra resources concentrating on patrols of public areas in the community and outlying areas in attempts to further various missing persons investigations." says RCMP Corporal Dan Moskuluk.

He says the purpose of these patrols have also been an effort to further establish a public outreach with those who are more vulnerable persons in our community.

"Last Friday evening one such patrol was in the area near LC Gunn Park which is known to be frequented by sex trade workers. As a result of an unrelated investigation, the plain clothes officers conducted a foot search of the wooded area utilizing a Police dog. It was during this search by the RCMP dog team that the body of the female was discovered” states Cpl Moskaluk.

“The death of this female is being considered as suspicious and is being investigated as such. The identity, race nor age of the deceased have not been established at this time. As reported, we are dealing with human remains with a degree of decomposition and not skeletal remains, therefore a complete forensic examination to establish age and identity is needed to conclusively determine these facts. We anticipate that an autopsy will be conducted in early this coming week” stated Cpl Dan Moskaluk.

Investigators remain on the scene, RCMP anticipate utilizing search trained volunteers from Prince George Search and Rescue Team to bolster the grid search that is being conducted.

Two women have been missing in the Prince George area since late August, Natasha Montgomery and Cynthia Maas have both been the subject of missing persons reports. Both women were living "high risk life styles".

Anyone with information regarding this incident or any other outstanding missing persons files are requested to contact the Prince George RCMP at 250-861-3200 or for those who wish to remain anonymous can phone Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477

This really makes me mad. This criminal will get caught , then sent to jail where we will feed and take care of him forever. Hell even his dam medical will be covered. If we had stiff penalties, such as eye for eye treatment. example. This criminal would be put down just like a sick dog. We would have a lot less of this stuff happining. We have to get rid of our bleeding hearts out there. I mean that they get replaced by some new measures. I know my feelings will fall on deaf ears. Help me out on this people. Thanks.

"one such patrol was in the area near LC Gunn Park which is known to be frequented by sex trade workers"

So it that where they have been driven from the city?

What kind of a city and community are we to cause this to happen?

"It's not us, so that is fine." Is that this community's thinking?

Prostitution laws struck down in Ontario

http://media.www.brockpress.com/media/storage/paper384/news/2010/10/05/News/Prostitution.Laws.Struck.Down.In.Ontario-3940822.shtml

"This case is all about protecting the security and safety of people working in the sex trade, regardless of what you think of sex-trade work," said Alan Young, the lawyer behind the challenge, to the Canadian Press on Sept. 28. "We have had a moral aversion to the sex trade for hundreds of years, but any time you can do something that increases peoples' safety, you have done something good."

These people need protection to their person, not be driven to less safe areas.

I'm with you, onemansthoughts. I was against the abolition of capital punishment when it was enacted. I wasn't very old then but I remember it well.

Criminals of all stripes are coddled while incarcerated. It is no punishment at all. I don't know who the bleeding hearts were who thought up these ideas, obviously people who had never been touched by any crime. They are probably the same ones who wanted all long guns registered thinking that would solve the criminal use of guns. They are a very smart bunch of people though, I must say. Smart like a bag of hammers.

"It is no punishment at all"

Who ever said it was supposed to be punishment?

While one could provide restitution for a robbery, one cannot provide restitution for a life.

The theory is that tough punishment is a deterrent. A look at the USA incraceration rate compared to the crime rate, and comparing that to similar stats in other countries, including Canada, will quickly show those who are capable of understanding that, that punishment as a deterrent does not work as well as other methods.

LC gunn park has been a chosen spot for prostitutes to bring their johns for at least two decades, gus. It is relatively close to the downtown core, which is where the prositutes hang out and it is a spot only sparodically patrolled by police on busy nights. when things are hopping in downtown or the vla these parks are often overlooked. Of course this should change.

and another family will have closure...i hope the police find this person soon before another body is found. I wonder how fast the 'resources' would move if the missing persons were John's. These women are drug addicted people who are sisters, aunties, mom's and daughters. And the idea of these Johns that use them and abuse them,make me want to throw up.
