Thank you! Two of the women were activists and someone from the aboriginal community has been convicted, the third case is unsolved but it sounds like there is a strong suspect that was known to the victim. That certainly helps in terms of understanding the focus of Loretta's research paper.
Nora Bernard
The grandson of native rights activist Nora Bernard was given a 15 year sentence Friday for manslaughter in her killing, which court heard was the result of a drug fuelled rage after she refused to give him money.

A Canadian man convicted in the 1975 killing of a fellow American Indian Movement activist says the government should not have been allowed to move his case from federal to state court after his extradition to the U.S."

Tanya Brooks
I spoke to the investigator today and were still facing the same problem: there are people out there that know what happened to her and they havent come forward, said Halifax Regional Police spokesman Const. Brian Palmeter. We continue to work this from many different angles and what were trying to do is gather the evidence we require."
Investigators believe Brooks knew who killed her."
