Windsor police hope new DNA technology will lead to break in 1971 child murder case

Windsor police retained the services of Parabon Nanolabs in Virginia for the phenotyping. The technology was originally funded by the U.S. Department of Defense, and only became available for law enforcement use about a year and a half ago.

“It’s very, very new,” said Ellen Greytak, director of Bioinformatics for Parabon Nanolabs.

Greytak said the technique is so new that Parabon does not have information on success rates, as the cases where phenotyping “snapshots” have been used are still in the court system. She said the Windsor case is Parabon’s oldest yet.

Remember also that in 2010 Millard was based out of Toronto Pearson Airport ...... there was no farm or hangar in the Waterloo area.

2010 MS lived already in Oakville, SS lived already in Brantford, DM had bases here and there and everywhere and enough time/cars to drive around. I think so.

Btw: From December 2010 until October 2011 (when the stealing allegedly began as AM said) there are only ca. 10 months .... BUT ....

I am NOT fanatical about my musings, even if it sounds like that.

This case in the news echoes of a similar crime, it involves the brutal slaying and sexual assault of a Hamilton area teacher, and the theft of her car wheels.

Men prosecuted in 1989 murder of Hamilton teacher lose lawsuit against cops

Perrin disappeared on Feb. 13, 1989, after going to the hospital to visit her husband, who was recovering from a cancer surgery. Her body was found in a field two days later.

Her car was found in a garage a day after that, jacked up with the two rear tires missing. The tires were never found, but a confidential informant told police a man named Terry Pearce had talked about selling them.

Months later, another source told police Pearce had confessed to driving Perrin’s car the night of the murder.

Officers set up wiretaps on Pearce in March of 1990, then arrested and released him the same day. In his interrogation, Pearce pointed the finger at a man named Steven Clarke, who he said had confessed to being the driver that night.

Clarke denied any involvement in the murder and once again cast Pearce as the driver. Through the wiretaps, “it became clear that Pearce and Clarke were associates,” the ruling said.

It also became clear that Clarke thought McCullough and another man had ratted them out to police, the document said.

The information obtained from Clarke, Pearce and Pearce’s girlfriend, Tammy Waltham, provided the basis for McCullough and Nossey’s arrests.

Though the trio’s story’s changed repeatedly, Pearce eventually admitted to driving the vehicle and said McCullough had raped and killed Perrin, the decision said. Waltham, meanwhile, said McCullough and another man had come to pick up her boyfriend that night.

Another Hamilton teacher senselessly murdered?!

rbbm.

A Guelph family is grieving after a 34-year-old teacher was killed in her Hamilton apartment building.

Jenna Gazzola, 34, was found dead Monday morning in her ninth-floor unit at 100 Forest Ave. in Corktown.

Her father, overcome with grief, asked for privacy Tuesday.

"We've just lost our daughter," said Marino Gazzola, a longtime Guelph police officer and the chair of the Wellington Catholic District School Board.

Jenna, who taught English at St. Charles Adult and Continuing Education, lived just down the hall from her alleged killer, police said.

Shane Shakeshaft, 27, has been charged with first-degree murder in her death. He resides in Hamilton, but is not originally from here.

Shakeshaft made a brief appearance Tuesday at the Hamilton courthouse. His case was put over to April 26 at 2 p.m. at the John Sopinka Courthouse.

Shakeshaft, a slender man with unkempt, bushy brown hair and a stubble moustache, was wearing a white jumpsuit and blue shoe covers in court.

He only spoke to tell the court his name, and then sat down, staring straight ahead. The court issued a publication ban on a list of 10 names Shakeshaft was not to contact.

Shakeshaft was arrested at about 6 p.m. Monday after being released from hospital to be treated for erratic behaviour, Det. Dave Oleniuk noted.

"There was indication that he did require medical treatment."

Gazzola had no connection with the accused apart from living on the same floor as him, Oleniuk said.

The way these guys went after trucks and cars, Audrey's flashy white muscle card might have caught their eye.

The way these guys went after trucks and cars, Audrey's flashy white muscle card might have caught their eye.

Also Smitch testified yesterday that when they scoped out something as a possible theft target, Millard liked rural secluded areas, and that is exactly where Audrey's beautiful property was located. She was of course also elderly, and alone. Maybe the only reason her killers did not take her nice white Camero is that it had some kind of theft protection devices installed. Can anyone verify that ? Even though the dogs were found crated in the house, they probably sensed Audrey was in danger and were barking a lot. Maybe after quickly staging the scene to make it look like a sex crime, and not an attempted car theft, they left before some neighbour came along. The killers could have wiped their fingerprints, or maybe they wore gloves. I also wonder if they caught Audrey when she came home, and was putting her car into the garage. They could have waited at her house, or maybe someone followed her down the road in a car, and dropped someone off. I believe one neighbour did report seeing someone wearing a black knapsack walking down her driveway around the time she was murdered. That would explain her coat on, the house locked, and the dogs crated. Was her purse ever found ?

IMO

AFAIK her purse wasn't stolen but in her home.

 

[Sphinx]

Thank you for that information. Do you know if they found her car keys ? Were they in the house too ? If they were in her coat pocket, my possible scenario would still be valid.

 

[Sillybilly]

For now, please don't integrate Audrey's thread with the Bosma threads. There certainly hasn't been any indication from LE that Audrey's case is connected to Tim's. Of course that can change down the road, but as it stands now, it does not seem to be a consideration.They are two different cases with their own dedicated threads and should be kept that way unless something more definitive crops up.

For those who felt that the suicide of one of the investigators in Audrey's case might have been connected to frustration with the lack of an arrest - a more likely reason- in today's news.imo.

What a freakin' mess and giant leap backwards for LE in Ontario, not just Hamilton. If there are texts of a sexual nature between IM and this woman - then that would be smoke. Jmo.

Slightly o/t
Just want to send out a big congratulations to Spec writer Jon Wells, whose past articles about Audrey we have referred to so much, for his latest excellent work!

May 28 2016

The Hamilton Spectator has nabbed a National Newspaper Award.

The Spec's Jon Wells, well-known for his investigative crime serials, won the NNA Friday night at a gala in Edmonton attended by newspaper people from across Canada.

Wells, 47, took the prize in the explanatory work category for his feature last year on McMaster's anatomy lab entitled Body and Soul. He squared off against reporters from La Presse and the Winnipeg Free Press

 

[Canadian4]

Wow, pretty explosive reading. I wondered if we were ever going to hear more. Thank you.

 

[dotr]

Early on in the case, iirc. some here had speculated that somebody may have posed as a cop to enter Audrey's home,
because of that, and this description, posting here. fwiw.

Hamilton police searching for police impersonator
Posted Jun 16, 2016
rbbm.

Hamilton police are on the lookout for a man who impersonated a police officer and allegedly took a woman’s wallet.

According to police, the man used a flashing blue light on his dashboard to pull the woman over around 11 p.m. on Monday in the area of Upper Gage and Mohawk Road in Hamilton.

The man claimed to be a police officer and searched her vehicle, taking her wallet.

Police say the suspect is white, 30-35 years old, slim, clean-cut with short blond hair.

Teachers share stories of students most likely to end up in prison

But user AXPendergast may have won the award for Creepiest Student Ever. They describe the “sweetest little sixth-grade girl”, saying she was your standard popular, extremely polite model student.

“I discovered she had an online account where she had planned out — very carefully, mind you — exactly how she was going to kill me and a colleague at the end of the year — tied up to two chairs, back to back, so that she’d only have to use the one bullet from her dad’s gun. I’d die instantly, while my colleague would go second.”

When I just read the article above I again thought of the female student who had threatened Audrey to kill her (had to leave school afterwards).

Seems to be a successful opportunity to get some more infos on cold cases:

Mike Pimentel was stabbed to death in Toronto’s Liberty Village neighbourhood on New Year’s Day in 2012.

About a year after he was killed, a Toronto homicide detective began releasing photos and clues related to the case on Twitter, in the hope that it would lead to new information.

The method was a first for the force and was inspired by the popular crime podcast “Serial,” which gradually released information about a real-life U.S. murder.

On Thursday, police announced the arrest of Shawn Poirier, who has been charged with second-degree murder in Pimentel’s death.

Police said the use of social media was “instrumental” in identifying witnesses and gathering new evidence in the case.

“The social media campaign brought us more information that allowed us to further our investigation to identify the person we believe is responsible,” said acting Supt. Greg McLane, adding that the online campaign was used to “reinvigorate” the police investigation.

Serial sex offender 'high risk to re-offend'
July 18, 2016
http://www.torontosun.com/2016/07/18/serial-sex-offender-high-risk-to-re-offend

Elric Benjamin MacArthur in 2013

TORONTO - Serial sex offender Elric MacArthur who raped, confined and robbed a pregnant, single Toronto mom and molested her five-year-old daughter represents a “high risk to re-offend,” a psychiatrist told his dangerous offender hearing Monday.

Dr. Trina Wilkie, who performed an assessment on the 49-year-old earlier this year, stated he “meets the criteria for a dangerous offender from a psychiatric perspective.”

 

[dotr]

Thought of Audrey's repeatedly broken mailbox after reading this article, also wondered if she too had people knocking on her door in the middle of the night?
Not only would Audrey likely be awake, possibly even smoking in the garage, but she might well open the door to tell the perps. off.
imo, speculation.rbbm.

Prank killed dad: Family

A Bradford family is blaming a ding-dong in the middle of the night for the death of a husband and father.

Jessica Richardson said someone played nicky-nicky nine doors at their home early last Tuesday, allegedly causing her 50-year-old father, Rodrique, to have a fatal heart attack.

The Bradford family woke up to loud banging and the ringing of their doorbell around 2 a.m.

When Rodrique came back inside after investigating, Jessica’s mother, Stephanie, watched as he collapsed to the ground with his eyes open.

“He was gasping for air,” Jessica, 22, told the Toronto Sun. “It was like he was having convulsions. I was already on the phone with 911 and ran outside to see if I could see who rang the doorbell (but) the streets were empty.”

“We’ve lived here in Bradford 20 years and it happens all the time,” said Jessica. “It’s common for this road for teens and children to do pranks like this, vandalize property and breaking into cars. We think this happened because of the very populated area, kids being bored.”

This case has been mentioned on Audrey's thread in the past, apparently new information is listed on the LE site, that suggests a female may be involved in Ms. Clapham's murder.
Considering that the women are somewhat similar in age and appearance, both lived alone and in each case, there was no sign of forced entry and the murders are just several years apart, also, both occurred in December, posting here.
imo.

https://hamiltonpolice.on.ca/thelma-clapham-homicide

On December 2[SUP]nd[/SUP], 2004 at approximately 11:30 a.m. Hamilton Police responded to an apartment at 226 Rebecca Street in the City of Hamilton. Upon entering the apartment they discovered the body of 79-year-old Thelma Clapham.

Ms. Clapham died as a result of blunt force trauma in her ninth floor apartment, where she had lived alone for the past four years. There was no sign of forced entry to the apartment.
Hamilton Police Service Major Crime Unit is seeking the community’s help in their continuing investigation into the killing of Thelma Clapham. The investigation, which has included police interviewing over a hundred and fifty people and forensic work, has painted part of the picture. Police now have information that a female may have been involved in this crime. Although no weapon has been recovered investigators also believe they know what was used to kill the victim.
