[h=1]Montreal Catholic Church will fingerprint all priests working with children[/h]
[h=3]New rule part of 10-step screening process first tested in pilot project launched last year[/h] CBC News Posted: Jun 20, 2017

The rules apply to those occupying roles deemed as "high risk" in the diocese's 194 churches and ministries — working with minors, the sick and the elderly — and also include mandatory police background checks.

"In terms of whether or not we were going to (implement the plan), that wasn't even in question. We're going. This has to happen," said Bishop Thomas Dowd, auxiliary bishop of the Archdiocese of Montreal.
"The Catholic Church has to be the safest place for the vulnerable."

The hope, according to Bertrand Montpetit, pastor at St. Luke's Parish in Dollard-des-Ormeaux, is that these measures will serve as a deterrent.
"If someone would like to do something wrong or abuse anyone, knowing there's all this filtering, they won't ask to become volunteers in our church," he said.
[h=2]How it will work[/h] Everyone, from salaried employees to volunteers, will be subject to a 10-step screening process.

I'm researching Joshua Guimond's disappearance for a book about a collection of cold cases. There are several ongoing controversies about the search for Joshua, and I'm looking for help in finding documented sources for the following:

1. That the hard drive of his computer was never searched by SCSO

2. That a drive-cleaning program (Internet Washer) had been used on his computer prior to it being seized

3. That Joshua had been researching abuse by monks at St. John's

I appreciate any help or suggestions you may have!

Thanks,

Robert M. Dudley

Bumping.

http://www.thenewsleaders.net/2014/11/20/12-years-later-guimonds-father-suspects-a-set-up/

Talking via telephone from Maple Lake Nov. 18, Guimond told the Newsleader he has a theory as to what happened to his son, but he cannot prove it, saying only it was a “set-up” and that, in his opinion, it involved one or more staff members at SJU. However, Guimond declined to give specifics except for the name of someone he suspects, someone who worked on the SJU campus at that time, but he acknowledges he lacks the concrete evidence to prove his theory. In the weeks after Joshua went missing, his father was frequently on the SJU campus, but the authorities there succeeded in getting a restraining order against him for a period of two years.

Guimond said two days after Joshua went missing, someone gained access to his computer in his dorm room and erased hundreds of emails from the machine’s hard drive. Guimond believes whoever did that knew something about his son’s abduction.

The only thing that will solve the case, Guimond told the Newsleader, is for cold-case experts to come to the Stearns County area, to ask all the right questions and to examine any and all investigative reports that have – or have not been – completed

Yeah I didn't bring up just for the heck of it-

disturbing. Apparently Adam McDonald "cleaned" some of the file history from the hard drive. He claimed that this was either or some kind of a "fake id creating" site and he didn't want anything embarrassing to Joshua to be found

A newspaper article in the st Cloud Times stated there was found on Josh's computer. It could be that McDonald was trying to protect Josh in deleting files.

What kind of ?

The grounds should still be searched today, probably some interesting folks talked to again, and a review done by a real cold case team.

 

[Sasquatch321]

The facts say Joshua left the party without his glasses or contact lenses. They also he say he wasn't appropriately dressed for the weather that night. Well just yesterday I was talking about this case with a friend and she told me"Oh no, I wouldn't go more than 20 feet without my contacts ever" This suddenly tells me Josh could literally be in any direction and may have fallen into a hole or because of the weather at the time became a victim of an erosion slide. And that is what gets at me today with this case, in the case of Brandon Swanson out of Marshall, they have conducted yearly ground searches at least once a year. In this case, St. Johns has restricted further searching. Today St. Johns doesn't even remember the Guimond disappearance.

According to history it was 22 degrees the night Joshua left the party without his glasses or approoriately dressed.

 

[Sasquatch321]

What if Joshua walked back to his dorm but accidentally went into a different building and surprised or disturbed a group of people or someone? They say Joshuas scent was tracked inside the abby?

 

[geojeffrey]

The answers lie with someone connected to the Abby.

That seems to be everyones decision except Law Enforcement, where the now resigned Sheriff singled in on a drowning. It's time for the new administration to discuss the case.

I wish some of the investigative writers who helped the Wetterling case would get involved here!!

He was wearing his glasses. He left his contacts and wallet at the apartment.

The search dog was deemed not credible. The handler trained themselves by attending a seminar and watching CSI. Bloodhound experts said searches for a human scent are generally not effective after 1 week has passed. In Josh's case, this bloodhound search was 7+weeks after he disappeared. The same bloodhound was alleged to have detected the scent of Chris Jenkins at the Abbey. Jenkins disappeared a few days before Josh, and was ultimately found to have never left the Mpls/St. Paul area.

Please cite your source for this information because this is what I have-

"His eyeglasses, contact lenses and credit cards were left behind and no personal belongings were missing from his apartment"

It appears you are correct. My apologies, I got this mixed up with another cold case I'm researching. Josh was not wearing glasses or contacts when he went to the party

This to me has become a crucial detail coupled with his use of alcohol that night. But the worst thing is they just stopped searching the grounds and lakes after a few looks. Imo you gotta keep looking.
