Ms. Proctors body was found less than 48 hours after her parents reported her missing. She was last seen at a bus interchange.
It wasnt random, said Corporal Darren Langan, speaking for the Island District RCMP. [The suspects] were familiar with Kimberly. We dont quite know what their motives were. Were working on fully understanding their motives.
That Ms. Proctor knew her killers was what put her in danger, Cpl. Langan said. That familiar relationship is what put Kimberly in the position she was put in, he said.
Cpl. Langan said he could not disclose how many suspects the police have or how they knew Ms. Proctor, who lived in Langford with her parents and brother.
Knowing who those suspects are and having those suspects in our sights, we are doing what needs to be done to ensure public safety, he said. We cant tell you specifically what we are doing because they are suspects at this point, and were still building our case against them.
Victoria-area Mounties say they are closing in on suspects they believe targeted and murdered a teenaged girl in a crime so sinister police say once the details become public, the community will be permanently scarred.
The home being searched by police is near Glen Lake, which was the subject of a search by police divers in late March.
Lagan said the Mounties probing Proctors murder have identified suspects, but no one has been arrested.
Our goal today with putting the information out is telling (the community) that we have suspects, and we know now that this was not a random attack, he said. Kimberlys attackers were familiar with her.
He said 40 investigators are focused on the suspects, but police need the individuals with information to come forward.
Were making an appeal today to some very specific individuals in the community, Lagan said.
Those individuals know who they are. They are familiar with the suspects and they are familiar with what happened to Kimberly.
Lagan said Proctor knew the suspects, although he wouldnt say if they were classmates or reveal their ages.
The best I can say is she was familiar with them and vice-versa, he said.
Police earlier said Proctors social networking activity and the on-line posts of her friends and others led to a series of fits and starts in the investigation.
Proctors Facebook page included a March 6 posting about her relationship with an unnamed boyfriend that she recently ended.
Proctor wrote she had to dump him (because) he turned out to be psycho with really bad anger issues.
She also participated in the international Goth website vampirefreaks.com where she discussed being bullied by teenage girls.
Lagan said police examined those communications by Proctor and other people and some statements made there turned out to be false.
Police believe people who were part of Proctors social circle have been holding back information. Lagan said some have already been interviewed by police, while others have not, but police are aware of them.
The information is going to come out, and it best come from them, said Lagan. We need to ask them to think of Kimberlys family and to think of her mother and father.

Late yesterday afternoon, (Friday, June 18th), Investigators arrested two Langford teens, age 16 and 18, for the premeditated murder of Kimberly Proctor. Both arrests occurred without incident.
LANGFORD (NEWS1130) - There's been a major development in a murder case on Vancouver Island -- two teens have now been arrested but charges have not been laid.
It was March 19th when the badly burned body of 18-year-old Kimberly Proctor was discovered near the popular Galloping Goose Trail, near Victoria.
Police announced today two Langford teens have been arrested in connection to her death, but because they were under 18 at the time, their names are not being released.
On Saturday, RCMP Insp. Mark Fisher announced that two male teens, aged 16 and 18, were arrested without incident on Friday and now face charges of first-degree murder. The teens cannot be identified because both were under 18 at the time of Proctor's killing.
The 16-year-old was charged with first-degree murder, forcible confinement, sexual assault and indignity to human remains. He is expected to make his first court appearance in Victoria on Monday morning.
In a news conference Saturday morning, a visibly upset Cpl. Darren Lagan, spokesman for Island district RCMP, said the murder is the worst he’s seen in a decade on the force.
“Investigators have used the words ‘horrendous,’ ‘disturbing,’ ” Lagan said.
On Saturday evening, RCMP announced the charges that had been laid against both suspects:
1) Murder in the First Degree (Section 231, Criminal Code of Canada). Murder is considered first degree murder, when it is planned and deliberate
2) Forcible Confinement (Section 279(2) Criminal Code of Canada)
3) Sexual Assault (Section 271 Criminal Code of Canada)
4) Indignity to Human Remains (Section 182(b) Criminal Code of Canada)
"Both accused have now been remanded into custody, pending their first court appearances, scheduled for 9:30 am, Monday morning, June 21st, 2010, in Victoria Youth Court," the RCMP release stated.
I just found out the news of the arrests and it's about time. Two teens arrested for what is deemed to be PREMEDITATED MURDER of a young beautiful girl.
