Alberta Man In Custody to be Looked at by Highway of Tears Investigators

By 250 News

RCMP say they will conduct an investigation to see where Thomas Svekla, of  Ft Saskatchewan  was when a number of women disappeared  along the Highway 16 corridor in this province. 

Svekla is charged in the deaths of two prostitutes in the Edmonton Alberta area.

Svekla was originally charged with murder in connection with the death of 36 year old Teresa Ennes whose body was found stuffed in a hockey bag at a residence occupied by Svekla.

He has now been charged with murder in connection with the death of street worker Rachel Quinney, 19 whose body was discovered by Svekla, who informed police.

Both women were from the Edmonton area and police say, as a matter of routine, they now will piece together where Svekla was during the time that a number of women disappeared  from cities and towns along Highway 16 , which now has been dubbed the "Highway of Tears".

If Svekla ever spent time in this area the investigation will be ratcheted up according to police.

Svekla is to appear in Court in Edmonton Thursday to face charges in the deaths of the two Alberta women.
