Melissa Richards found same week there is another stabbing (fatal) in Petawawa ? coincidence?? There's a publication blackout on Brian Goddard's case .... too coincidental and given that VL commented on Melissa Richard's case cause for pause...
It is tragic and disheartening how much crime has been occuring in my small town of Petawawa, or the ties to other cases that have connections to here.
Yes the timeline of Victoria living in different areas, would have put her in this area at the time Melissa Richmond (nee: Wilson) was murdered and found in a ditch outside Ottawa ( offhand dont remember where exactly it was).
I went to school with Melissa, for many years, and our community was extremely shaken when she went missing, and then of course when she was found deceased. It has since come out that her husband is the guilty party, even as far as turning down bail opportunity in January. As I went to school with Melissa, I know that Victoria did not, as I did not go to school with Vicki.
Also I have seen references to another tradgedy from my area, the murder of Petawawa resident Dan Pietersma, and attack on his wife Sharlene, as well as 17 yr old a street over, Emma Guthrie.
There is no connection to Victoria there either, Dan was a long time friend of my families, as well as a former co-worker of my mothers. The town is outraged at the accused "Brian David Goddard". My family, myself included have gone to every single court appearance in regards to Dan's murder, with the exception of one. Nothing has really happened thus far. We have seen Brian David Goddard appear on tv for his "appearance'. It keeps getting pushed further and further back.
After these 2 incidents, hearing about Loretta's case and that yet again there was a connection to our little town shook my very core. My heart weeps for Loretta, her unborn child and family & friends.
As for Victoria being employed by DND, mutual friends of ours have said this is definately false. She was employed as a cleaner at one time and it very well may have been on the DND property as many civilians are hired to clean there, that would make her "employed by DND" but thats about it.
