Who killed 'Septic Tank Sam?' rbbm.
"Even after all these years Sgt. Warren still thinks about the murder.
“This tends to be one of the more baffling,” said Sgt. Warren who had a 41-year career with the RCMP.
Sgt. Lammerts said it’s clear the body wasn’t supposed to be found. The killer(s) went to great lengths to hide the body.
“There’s no doubt in my mind. Five to six months tops and there would have been nothing left.”
Who was capable of the brutal murder
Sgt. Lammerts said someone capable of the torture and murder isn’t normal and without a doubt is cruel.
“That type of cruelty; beaten, burn marks all over, torture, you have to have a different background to do that.”
The person who committed the murder – if still alive – would be 67 to 72 now (2019) and it hasn’t bothered his conscience (yet), he pointed out.
He said, however, that RCMP always believed that decades later, someone in their 80s, would have a guilty conscience and confess to the police, thinking at that age they wouldn’t get much, if any, jail time."
