Toronto Police Service :: News Release #49958
''New Tool Helps Find 911 Callers in Need of Assistance Faster,
TPS Communications Services Adopts ‘what3words’
Just three words can help Toronto 911 call takers find a person in need of emergency assistance (police, fire or paramedics) when their location can’t be determined.

The Toronto Police Service, as the City of Toronto’s answering point, is collaborating with what3words to give callers a simple way to describe where help is needed if they don’t know where they are. The free what3words application has divided the world into three-metre squares, with each square assigned a unique three-word identifier.

It means any location can be communicated with just three simple words, instead of trying to share numeric longitude and latitude co-ordinates in an emergency.

“Our call takers are the first point of contact for members of the public when they need help. This innovative technology helps them, help you, and can save valuable time in making sure the right resources are deployed as quickly and precisely as possible,” said Chief of Police James Ramer. “As the weather improves and people start exploring the city’s greenspaces again, they can be reassured that by using this service, we will be better prepared to find them quickly in an emergency.”

Developed in the United Kingdom, the application allows 911 call takers to send a link via text message to the caller to access the three words identifying their location. The caller then repeats the words to the call taker who determines their location and dispatches resources where necessary.

For example, here in Toronto, Hanlan’s Point Beach can be found at ///fries.trooper.withdrew, The Bluffs at ///eyebrows.episodes.crass and Lake Ontario, just off Sugar Beach at ///locked.prude.grabs.

“This is another great tool to assist our communicators when a caller is in need of help and unsure of their surroundings; perhaps when they’re hiking, enjoying the city’s greenspaces or spending time out on the water,” said Communications Superintendent Hugh Ferguson. “Anywhere that doesn’t have clear street signage in Toronto can be quickly located by using the what3words application and we are excited to be utilizing this additional resource.”

Communications Manager Kerry Murray-Bates added, “Communications Services is always looking for ways to enhance service to the public and we are pleased to be adding what3words to our tool kit. Toronto is largely an urban environment, but there are beautiful large greenspaces and waterfront areas where this application can be very helpful to the community.”

Chris Sheldrick, CEO and co-founder of what3words said, “Every day, people all around the world struggle to communicate their location to emergency services. This leads to crucial minutes and sometimes hours lost when trying to save lives. We’re delighted to work with the Toronto Police Service, who like other emergency agencies in the world, are embracing and pioneering new technologies, like ours, to save lives.”

The browser version does require a data connection and location services must be enabled. The app service only requires a GPS signal and can be accessed offline as long as location services are enabled on the smartphone. It should be noted that what3words is not a tracking app - TPS will only receive your location when you choose to provide your three words over the 911 call.

TPS joins 19 emergency service agencies across Ontario who have been using what3words to better determine location and improve dispatch times. Find out more information about what3words here and download our frequently asked questions here.''

Welcome to Ws Galaxy-eyes33!
Very sorry about your mom, this link references Ms. Stevens and other possibly connected cases.
Christine Prince – Nicoll Investigations
''Christine Prince was the first victim of five who suffered similar fates. Christine Prince, Delia Adriano, Valerie Stevens, Lynda Shaw and Cindy Halliday – were stalked, kidnapped and driven to remote areas where they were murdered between early spring and late summer, between 1982 and 1992.
• The bodies of five of the victims were discovered in lovers’ lanes – wooded, remote areas down back roads often frequented by teenagers. No effort was made to conceal the bodies.
• At least three of the slayings indicate a fetish for neatness: jackets folded neatly and shoes placed side by side at the murder scenes.
• Most of the victims were transported many kilometres from where they were abducted.
• Expressways figure in five of the slayings, either for stalking and transporting the victims, or as a place to later dump the victims’ belongings.
• The killer kept personal effects from some of the victims such as items of clothing, a shoe and jewellery.
According to the papers, the boyfriend and the employer have been cleared as suspects. Police believe that a serial killer was/is at work here. A name that has been mentioned is Russell Williams.''

This cluster is news to me, thanks for posting! Something about these cases reminds me of Donna Jean Awcock CANADA - Canada - Donna Awcock, 17, London, Ont, 13 Oct 1983

''Before her death, police say Awcock had been babysitting for a neighbour at an apartment building next door to where she lived along Cheyenne Avenue, now known as Oakville Avenue, in the city’s northeast end. Awcock left the apartment where she had been babysitting around 2:30 a.m. on Oct. 13 to go buy cigarettes at a nearby corner store. She never returned. Awcock’s family contacted police when she failed to return home later that day.

The next day, two kilometres northeast of her Cheyenne Avenue home, Awkcock’s badly beaten, partly-clad body was discovered along the riverbank. Police determined the cause of death was ‘manual strangulation.’ Awcock had also been raped.''

Falls within the same time frame, area with what Imo looks like a similar M.O.

That match makes so much sense. Russell Johnson would linger at the scene, tidying up or "undoing". However, I thought RJ also had a thing with breaking and entering, not so much transporting his victims?

Every time I see those underwear photos of Russell Williams I think of Luka Magnotta in his wig/lipstick/underwear selfies. Not to mention that scene with Buffalo Bill in Silence Of The Lambs.
 
<modsnip>

Can,t really comment on the details of that sad Case, but if Paul was not in the room. Of that house on that day her sister would still be alive. But really the point i was making is that one bad persons influences really does effect people around them. We know that from where we live and we know that because we see it in the workplace. So how do we and society get hold of that, is it really back to the chain gang. And i also heard not everybody gets a outside job and some want to go out there, even if its on a day like... Canada day...

Re David Buller. He was sitting at his computer composing a sketch - the sketch was then printed out but with additional text.....that text was not saved on his computer so likely he was killed at that moment. I have not seen the sketch but it apparently it had a homeo-erotic and bondage them with a man in bondage being regarded by a male LE believe to be a self portrait of Buller - there is a slight chance the killer composed the text, less likely the sketch. LE believes the sketch is crucial to solving the case it has been released supposedly but not the text which is hold back. Has anyone a link to the sketch? As the family wants the case solved so badly it is not clear to me why they do not make people aware of the sketch. Maybe they differ from LE on its relevance. I would distribute the sketch frankly it is not that likely to help at least without the added text but it can't hurt.

The added text on the sketch is interesting, just noting a recent case in Atlanta where the woman, a lesbian- was brutally stabbed and the killer added the letters F, A, and T, to her body, fwiw.

New Canada's most wanted list includes 12 violent fugitives tied to Toronto | CP24.com

April 26 2022 rbbm.
''Twelve of 25 suspects named to a new Canada-wide most-wanted list have ties to Toronto, including one 2021 fatal shooting suspect commanding a $250,000 reward.

For the first time, the nationwide BOLO program put together a list of 25 suspects wanted for murders, attempted murders or human trafficking incidents dating back to 1987.

The number one suspect on the list is Abilaziz Mohamed, 32, who is accused of shooting 43-year-old Craig MacDonald in the parking lot of a Scarborough Boston Pizza last year.''

''BOLO program director Max Langlois says Mohamed was selected as the top suspect because of the circumstances of the homicide.

“We’re talking about someone who was having fun in a restaurant and an argument occurred and they ended up being shot in a parking lot,” he said.

BOLO is offering $250,000 for information that leads to Mohamed’s arrest, with the reward money expiring if unclaimed by Oct. 26.

“Craig was doing a very ordinary thing, celebrating a Leafs win, when in the flick of a moment, with the flick of a finger, his life was ended,” Drema, Craig MacDonald’s sister, said in a statement read out at the news conference Tuesday.''

"Toronto Police Chief Jim Ramer told reporters they believe Mohamed is hiding somewhere in the GTA.

BOLO will post images and other details of each suspect on social media. Rewards for other suspects are as high as $100,000.''

&#9679;On Friday, May 20th, 1983, the body of 86-year-old Evelyn McIlraith was discovered in her apartment on Bloor St. W. at Ellis Park Rd. Her granddaughter and the apartment building superintendent made the horrible discovery. The elderly McIlraith, who had lived in the same abode since 1940, had been stabbed and beaten to death, possibly by a burglar she surprised as he was ransacking her apartment. She had last been seen by the superintendent’s son as she entered the building on Thursday afternoon, and police believed she was murdered sometime between 4 and 7 p.m. that day.

''A fugitive wanted for an attempted double murder in Toronto has been arrested at a luxury apartment complex in London, England, which was equipped with a rooftop swimming pool and a spa.

The Daily Mail newspaper noted that Usman Kassim was discovered living in a high-end apartment in Battersea in south London called “millionaire’s row.”

Kassim was also known as Oltunde Adeniyi, Steven Matturie and Roman, police said.
The RCMP described him last month as “violent, armed and dangerous” and said there was a reward of up to $50,000 for information leading to his arrest.
Kassim was on the RCMP’s BOLO list of its 25 most wanted fugitives. BOLO stands for “Be on lookout” for.
The International Police agency Interpol had issued an alert for his arrest, asking forces around the world to co-operate in his apprehension.
Kassim fled Canada in April 2020 after an attempted double murder in a drive-by shooting in Toronto in 2020.''
