E-Pana began in 2005 with a review of three unsolved 1994 murders along northern B.C.s Highway 16, but would soon expand its scope.
We started doing the review but very early into it we recognized that, if we are looking for this serial killer, well have to broaden our scope and have a look at other files, Hulan said this week.
I dont think well be able to say [whether there is a serial killer at play] until were at the point where we are satisfied that we have been successful in solving or charging in all 18 of the files, or the majority, or having determined what the circumstances were that led to the murders.
To zero in on a suspect or suspects police examined 619 unsolved files of violence against women along three highways, including murders and missing person cases, as well as sexual assaults and attempted sex assaults. A half dozen of the cases are in the Hinton area of Alberta, while the majority are from B.C.
