Police werent ruling out the possibility that Mr. Legebokoff could be linked to more killings even as they said the murders werent related to the Highway of Tears investigation of 18 women who have gone missing along Highway 16 from Prince George to Prince Rupert since 1969.
Ms. Leslies father, Doug Leslie, said forensic evidence from the truck led police to charge Mr. Legebokoff with the murders of Cynthia Frances Maas, 35, Natasha Lynn Montgomery, 23, and Jill Stacey Stuchenko, 35. All three were mothers who reportedly worked in the sex trade. Ms. Maas body was found L.C. Gunn Park on the banks of the Fraser River. Ms. Stuchenkos body was found in a gravel pit near Prince George. Ms. Montgomerys body has yet to be found. Police say the killings began in October 2009, when Mr. Legebokoff would have been just 19.
