Canada - Christine Jessie, 8, murdered, Queensville Ontario, connections?

[AddyFinch]

Does anyone else see this link? Driving distance is routine in this area even back in the 70's. Very close proximity. I wonder if the murderer of Christine Jessie was suspect for the others?

I happened to see this, intriguing idea. Especially when CT's wife has said he was often gone for hours without explanation.

I was Googlemapping these places (I only know bits of Ontario), and noticed that while Queensville is on the 404 highway northwest of Scarborough (where CT lived-specifically Malvern) he then took Christine east to Sunderland. That's near highway 23, which runs parallel to highway 404, and is also a fairly straight shot south, back to Scarborough.

"Among the many puzzling elements of the case was the location of the body: Why Sunderland? It was all country roads, farmland and forests, not exactly far from Queensville but not close either. What they didn’t know was Calvin Hoover had a school friend who lived just a few kilometres away. They would meet often to go kayaking and backcountry camping. Because of his familiarity with the area, Calvin would have known that a few metres into the dense forest off just about any back road, he would be uninterrupted and unseen by passing motorists."

Inside the hunt for Christine Jessop's real killer

It took 36 years, three police forces and a massive search of DNA databases to finally, definitively, crack the case

It seems to me probable that CT targetted Christine because he knew her (perhaps sadistically enjoyed putting her family and even his own wife through hell), and he had a very nasty sexual interest in prepubescent girls.

sorry, typo.

 

[Cedars]

I see I incorrectly used the initials 'CT', instead of CH, for Christine's killer, no doubt causing deep confusion..sorry

The 404 at the time didn't go all the way up to Newmarket and ended kilometers short of it. The other cases mentioned, particularly Cheryl Hanson from Richmond Hill does remain a possibility.

Potter and Kirk are more likely to be victims of someone with a connection to an automotive or motorcycle shop. I have reason to believe it was a car racing shop in Thornhill based upon the paint chips found and the composition of some filings. Plus one more piece of information that I can't talk about.

It's certainly plausible that Leroux and Singh are connected, and actually seems quite likely.

Lee & Kirk, could also be a tow truck operator, or auto wreckers? Hmm paint chips..body shop, chop shop, or MomnPop guy who works on cars at his house? If car racing, they probably raced at Pinecrest, Sunset or Mosport in the 70’s.
