CANADA Canada - Tania Murrell, 6, Edmonton, 20 Jan 1983

[BRS]

6 Year Old Tania Murrell Vanished 37 Years Ago Today in Edmonton, Alberta
Jan 20, 2020

''The primary suspect in the case is a man who was a family friend of the Murrell’s. His name is not mentioned specifically in any articles about Tania in order to protect his privacy, but a reporter who worked on the case when she originally disappeared has gone as far as divulging that it starts with an L. During the initial investigation, Tania’s mother, Vivian, swore up and down that it wasn’t him and he wouldn’t have been capable of harming Tania. Family friends report that years later, she told them that she knew L killed her. He was 31 years old at the time of her disappearance and has no solid alibi. He once took Tania and her brother camping alone, and around the time of Tania’s disappearance wrote a very creepy poem about a love that could never be. After Tania disappeared, he moved away from Edmonton and had a daughter… whom he named Tania. At one point he was interrogated by police for 11 hours. At no point did he explicitly deny abducting Tania, and the takeaway line was chilling- “**** you, you ain’t got a body.”

Tania’s sister Elysia believes that she is still alive somewhere and brainwashed, having possibly been taken by a woman who couldn’t have a child. Personally, I am all but positive that she didn’t survive the remainder of that day after leaving school, and that L was responsible for her death. Unfortunately, his current whereabouts are unknown- he may have been homeless somewhere in Canada at one point, and may no longer be alive.''

I’m not certain about the daughter named after Tania, the name of his children are in the obit and there wasn’t a Tania listed as far as I can recall.

My book arrived today. I read it in one sitting. Tania is a relative of my husband. I pray everyday for news about Tania.

Byron told me he’s named PS in the book. I’ve got it on the way in the mail. I managed to find his obit a while back but can never remember his name. I’ll go see if I can’t find it again.

What is the book called? I would like to order it.

What is the book called? I would like to order it.

re post..
What happened to Tania? by Byron Christopher - Easton Spectator

 

[Jets4Life]

I just received Byron Christoper's book "What Happened to Tanya" in the mail. Unfortunately, it's somewhat disappointing. 90% of the books contents can be seen in his blog. It brushes on the prime suspect -<modsnip - naming person not divulged by LE/MSM>, but I am none the wiser, having completed the short novel in just over an hour.

If anyone wants the book, perhaps I can mail it to someone who is interested.

Bumping for Tania...it's now been 38 years.

Bumping for Tania. It has been 39 Years as of today.

Hey everyone,
Just hearing about Tania’s tragic story. I followed the murder/rape of a girl in my hometown of Windsor that went unsolved for nearly 50 years. The girls name is Ljubica Topic and just two days ago we found out who her killer was and he ended up moving to Edmonton afterwards.

I could be wrong but the comment section under the Windsor Star alluded there might be a connection between the murders. The monsters name is Frank Arthur Hall. Let me know what you all think.

Tania with her Dogs, presumably the black dog on the left is Harley who disappeared shortly after Tania did so heartbreaking.

Regarding the prime suspect, in the Tania and that ‘Family Friend’ article, in the comments the prime suspect is named and I looked at his obituary and it doesn't say he has any daughters called Tania?

I also found a article where you do have to scroll quite a way down, that includes what was allegedly said in the poem written by the prime suspect called 'could never be' is this:

Tho the day be far away, or the night just closing in

Remembering the fun they had that day and feelings possessed within

Gazing into the distant stars, the plans they made, so bright and new

As they walked along that deserted beach, all their problems, were so few

The time alone, just themselves, warm new feelings, so tender and strange

Nervous thoughts of love, of making love, passionately, their lives would change

Undisturbed, but for the waves, closely embraced, on the beach they lay

The summer ended much too soon and for them, their final day!

Precious new feelings that they shared, knowing soon, would have to end.

The tears flowed with their final kiss, it was their first love, they couldn’t pretend

Often they wished, to turn back time, oh, for time to have stood still!

Aye, to turn back time, but time goes on, it’s nature’s will

To return some day, they said they would, but I knew — we never could.

Since Uncle L was a POI who moved to Ontario and then disappeared, it's a shame the nation doesn't know who he is. Someone is sure to know where he is.

He is dead. Isn’t he??

 

[musicaljoke]

How is it that we know for sure that Tania isn't buried somewhere?

Because at the time of her disappearance the ground would have been frozen solid.
