Vancouver Investigation Has Northern Link

Thursday, March 10, 2011 03:57 AM

Prince George, B.C. – Vancouver police are conducting a special dig in an East Vancouver home , looking for the remains of a Lake Babine Nation woman.

Global News has reported, Vancouver police received information from a man who says he had witnessed the murder of his mother, Katherine Mary Brown in 1977. While she went missing in 1977 her disappearance wasn’t reported to police until October of last year.

He says his father, who died in 1987, strangled his mother and buried her in cement in the basement of their Vancouver home. He says he was threatened by his father not to tell anyone about what he had seen.

While the informant says he told police his story before, they didn’t take his information as being credible because he was a cocaine addict at the time.

He is now clean, and told police his story again last fall, at which time an investigation was started.

The Vancouver Police Department is working with the Archeology school of Simon Fraser University in the search for human remains. The search is expected to last several more days.

I wonder how many investigations here have a southern link.

Would it be fair to say most of the grow ops, plus the associated gangs?

Or is the home grown weed for regional consumption, you know, the 100km from home guideline for access to agricultural products. :-)

I'm not sure that the resources are that enormous. This isn't like the Pickton investigation, where they had a whole farm to dig up.
