Police looking into MacVicar murder for links to arrested base commander:
In June 2001 Kathleen MacVicar, 19, was visiting her aunt and uncle at CFB Trenton, when she went missing. Three days later her body was found in a wooded section of the base. She had been stabbed multiple times and sexually assaulted. The case has never been solved.
“I have been here before, thinking we have resolved this in that respect, found the person we were looking for — someone to blame — but it has always fallen through,” her mother said.
“Until the police tell me that without a shadow of a doubt that this is who they suspect killed Kathleen, then I am just going to wait and see. I am not getting my hopes up here.”
Members of the Ontario Provincial Police contacted the MacVicar family Monday evening.
“The police told us they will be looking into it. They certainly haven’t offered us any great hope, we are just waiting to see what is going on, to see if they can give us any information on whether he was even in Trenton at the time — they don’t even know that yet.
“They just want us to be kept up in the loop.”
MacVicar said it wasn’t a heavily wooded area where her daughter was found, more like a thoroughfare.
“There was a street the school bus used and kids would be walking back and forth.
“She was probably 50 feet off the road, right where the grass ended and the woods would start. The guy who cuts the grass was actually the person who discovered her.”
Every year, MacVicar travels to the area where her daughter’s body was found.
“I go every year at the time she was missing. She went missing on the 13th and was found on the 15th. It is my personal thing, she was alone during that time so I want to be there,” she said.
“It doesn’t make much sense, but it makes sense to me as her mother.”
MacVicar said she has a great relationship with the OPP, however the military has not been co-operative.
“They have been very unforthcoming and closed-mouthed. It makes you very suspicious.”
