Thank you. No, they were from the '60's and '70's. Lots of high profile ones too! A very different era...Sorry for your loss. Just out of curiosity have you posted any of his cases?
Sadly he passed a decade ago. He was an amazing man and a highly respected detective. I have known a lot of cops and none took the job too heart like he did. He never got hardened and cared deeply about the victims and their families.
Even now, he and his cases are talked about around the office. He handled them with an incredible fortitude and professionalism. His sense of humor and practical jokes are legendary, as was his compassion. He truly was one of the greats in the department.
Sorry to have rambled off topic. It would have been his birthday this past week and has been on my mind even more. Love and miss you dad.

An interview with CH on the deck of the L home. She reminisces about the couple and some video is shared.
( was the house not sold, and supposed to be turned over in July?)
I wonder if the family bought the house back. Also interesting is that they were having a garage sale along with the estate sale so it was more obvious of a sale with the garage open as well as entry into the house. The photos of the interior garage did appear to be quite bare. I wonder if tables were set up on the driveway as well. Just thinking out loud...
ETA... Now that I have watched the broadcast I wonder if the video of little Nathan is from a year prior. He looks much younger than his more current photos. Maybe CH was referring to a garage sale done last year and the editing is throwing us off?
I was surprised to hear they were using the garage for the sale. I had assumed it was only in the house for some reason.
ETA - I also didn't know CH was there that day during the sale. I'm sure it was posted on here before or mentioned in MSM I think, so I must've just forgot. They also took video that day, I bet that video must've went to LE.
An article today, says Parkville instead of Parkhill though. Interesting quote from CH, sad too:
“We were doing the garage sale and two of the grandchildren came over. Alvin very quickly closed the doors to the garage. It was more important for him to go play in the playground than do the garage sale and that’s who Alvin was with the grandchildren… When those grand-babies came over the both of them just lit up.”

When they show the video footage of them (CH and KL) at the ice cream truck, they say 'she comes to life in this video taken the last day she was seen alive', not sure about the NO video though, he does look younger (so crushing to watch my eyes water up )
But very hard to tell about the garage sale CH mentions, if it was current or in the past like you say.
So there is a back deck, and likely double doors or a sliding door that could have allowed entry from obstructed back side of the home.
Remember the back backed onto an alleyway and the small park? (no houses).
Lol...and there she is again!http://globalnews.ca/news/1585588/friends-of-alvin-and-kathy-liknes-gather-for-memorial/

Here is an article posted in the Herald. I wonder if the memorial tomorrow will include a media presence. Does it seem like the community is invited?

Good observation. Definitely could've been an entry point.
