In October 1997, police in Nanaimo, BC---following up on complaints that a man driving a Pontiac Grand Am with Nova Scotia licence plates had been posing as a police officer to lure young girls into his car---arrested former Halifax resident Andrew Paul Johnson. They found a developmentally challenged 20-year-old woman locked in his car, along with what police described as a rape kit: pornographic magazines, a Halloween mask, handcuffs, a meat cleaver, lubricating gel and packing tape.

Halifax police had been looking for Johnson, too. In 1992, he had pleaded guilty to confining and sexually assaulting his Halifax girlfriend. In 1997, he'd been caught masturbating in his car while watching girls at play in Hammonds Plains. There was a warrant for his arrest for harassing a 12-year-old Whites Lake girl while posing as a teen fashion representative. And, shortly before turning up in BC, he had disappeared from a Dartmouth sexual offender treatment program---but not before turning in a chilling assignment. Psychiatrist Joseph Gabriel asked participants in the program to write an essay about a sexual assault from the point of view of its victim.

Johnson had written his about the rape and murder of Kimberly McAndrew.

Is Andrew Paul Johnson responsible for the deaths of Kimberly McAndrew,Andrea King and Steven Hall?

[h=1]Andrea King murder case still unsolved 21 years later[/h]

Twenty-one years ago, the family of murder victim Andrea King called police to report her missing.

The 18-year-old woman from Surrey, B.C., came to Halifax on Jan. 1, 1992, to do some travelling and find work, police said Friday in a news release.

Police in Halifax and British Columbia investigated but found no trace of the woman until her skeletal remains were found Dec. 22, 1992, in a wooded area off Glendale Drive, not far from Highway 102, one of the main routes from the airport.

Missing from the accounts I read was any acknowledgment Halifax police had a suspect in the King murder — along with several other unsolved crimes — but botched it.


During a 1997 re-investigation of the 1989 disappearance of another young woman, Kimberly McAndrew — her case also still unsolved — police identified a former Halifax sex offender as a prime suspect.

During a sex-offender treatment program, the man, Andrew Paul Johnson, had written an essay about a sexual assault from the point of view of the victim. Johnson’s essay was a chilling account of McAndrew’s rape and murder.

Rummaging through Johnson’s life and times, police found evidence linking him to King’s disappearance too, including her compact.

At the time, DNA testing wasn’t sophisticated enough to positively connect the murder dots from Johnson to McAndrew or King, and police themselves lost interest after a B.C. court declared Johnson a dangerous offender in 2001.

Three years later, then-detective Tom Martin — who would run for mayor in 2012 — joined the force’s cold-case squad and asked for a piece of DNA evidence he knew the task force had collected. He hoped testing advances might lead to the breakthrough investigators needed.

The Canadian Chronicle Herald wrote, "In February, Johnson was assessed as a moderate risk for violent sexual reoffending." The ridiculously high recidivism rate for sexual predation does not jibe easily with the word "moderate".
