As the fifth (sixth) anniversary of Tori’s death nears, Free Press reporter Randy Richmond talked to family members about their lives, hopes and memories.
Retired cop tells stories of high-profile crime victims
During her 34 years with the Ontario Provincial Police, Kate Lines investigated several high-profile crimes, including the murders of Kristen French and Tori Stafford, and the disappearance of Michael Dunahee.
But when Lines was writing her autobiography, she focused on a side of these stories that isn't often told — that of the victims and their families.
She met with the victims' families, and asked their permission to write about their loved ones.
“There seems to be a great deal of interest and sensationalism with the notoriety of the offenders and their names,” said Lines, a former criminal profiler and chief superintendent with the OPP.
She said victims should be remembered for more than what happened to them, and was privileged to be able to share stories the families told her.
4th Annual Iron Sirens Ride Today for Tori Stafford Oxford County will be coloured purple today in memory of Tori Stafford, as the fourth annual ride gets underway, hosted by the Iron Sirens Riding Club.
“We’re doing this because as a group of female riders, it’s really close to our heart. We feel it’s impoirtant to keep Tori’s memory alive in the community, as well as raise awareness about child abduction.”
For Tori & her family. May the beautiful memories of your precious child sustain you until you see her again.
