Apparently there might be perpetrator DNA to work on using forensic genealogy. This would be the best (only?) hope of solving the case.

What about the Las Cruces bowling alley murders? I remember seeing this profiled on U.M. and AMW at the time. It angers me that it was never solved. Las Cruces bowling alley massacre - Wikipedia

Aha, here's a Facebook post from the daughter of the Toronto Star writer I mentioned above. I was correct in remembering that she accused her father of killing Yvonne Leroux. She was evidently wrong about Leroux, but I wonder how much truth there is to her other accusations (no need to log in...

So glad this case has been resolved, even though it is rather anticlimactic, what with the perp long dead, and Yvonne's parents dead as well. I think the woman who claimed her father - who was a scribe for the Toronto Star and Sun - was a serial rapist and killer of young women and girls...

I'm losing all hope of the documentary ever seeing the light of day. Work started on it when Jacob's remains were found, and here we are seven years later.

Anyone have a clue why this is taking so long to make?

Anyone have a line on when the documentary might see the light of day?

Thanks for posting the updates on the Brodkin cold case, dotr. I just popped in here to do so myself.:)

^Heartbreaking.

Ah, I understand. No, my thought was whether it would be an actual film or an episode of 48 Hours or 20/20, or something like that, but you have cleared that up.

Do you know if it will be a theatrical release, or shown on TV?

I wonder if there will ever be an exhaustive documentary made on this case. I would like to see that. Somehow, as someone who was aware of the Wetterling case from the beginning, and found it almost personally agonizing, I feel there's strangely a kind of lack of resolution. The family is...

Maybe you're confusing it with the case of Nicole Morin, who left her Etobicoke apartment to go swimming with a friend in 1985, and hasn't been seen since. There's also Andrea Atkinson, who disappeared from her east Toronto apartment building in October, 1990. Her body was later found in the...

Remind me why the DNA match took so long. I know DNA testing was generally not being used by law enforcement in the States in 1989 (it was used for the first time in Britain in 1987, in the case of Colin Pitchfork), but why did it take until 2015 for a match to be made? Sophisticated DNA...

Yes, Christine Jessop's murder and Nicole Morin's disappearance are both cases I would dearly love to see solved.

Thanks for reminding me, dotr. Yes, I remember quite well when Tippett was arrested for sexually assaulting that girl behind a school in Courtice (I thought it was Lindsey). At the time, I thought he would finally confess to Sharmini's murder. I'm glad to hear he was designated a dangerous...

This was all over the news today. A new appeal for Howe. Doubt it will amount to anything, sadly. This piece of garbage should be entering his 34th year in prison, but he has been free all this time. It really burns me up. dxman, if you're still around, I guess your apparent breakthrough...

Interesting info. dotr, good to see you again.:) I think (it has been so long) I wrote a capsule of this case in the Toronto Murders thread. I wonder if there is DNA in the Kundinger case. I'm sure police have already looked at Argo cheerleader Jenny Isford's killer, William Brett Henson...

C'mon, as civilized people, don't we want to ensure that even the worst of the worst are treated humanely? That doesn't mean all kinds of amenities like TV, Internet, or anything even approaching luxury accommodations, but protection from violence and access to hygiene, basic comfort, and...

I never once suspected him of having any direct involvement or there even being a tertiary connection, but his demeanour has always been rather detached, certainly in contrast to Patty. But everyone deals with such a situation differently. Some, like Patty, become very active, vociferous, and...
