Des, Georgette Flint was also a STW, and an addict. She was pre diagnosed with childhood schizophrenia, and had ADD, her mom told me. She was tiny, and usually wore her hair curly. She worked the downtown area. Her mom looked everwhere for her, and also was on many TV shows, and in the newspaper.We met at college here in town.

Fearful of spring finds
Edmonton Sun - Edmonton,Alberta,Canada
Project Kare, an RCMP-led task force, is hunting for a serial killer
preying on sex-trade workers in the Edmonton area. Since 1975, the bodies
of 25 people, ...
http://www.edmontonsun.com/News/Edmonton/2007/04/02/3896382-sun.html

 Bill Pitt, a University of Alberta criminologist, said there could be more killers out there.

"Maybe there's two or three or four more out there responsible for more," said Pitt.

He pointed out that Thomas Svekla, a former mechanic charged with second-degree murder and interfering with a human body in the slayings of both Rachel Quinney and Theresa Innes, would only account for two bodies if he is convicted. "We're still looking for more killers," Pitt said.
************************************************************

The article shimmer put the link up for also speaks of Levin, a profiler, and how the killers could have changed there disposal grounds, and they could be looking at 2-4 more, they don't know. Also they may have moved elsewhere. Rest assured, there is still some around here, it seems to me that this is like thier home base, or main base. But they will go where the gals are, or maybe start finding different victim types. I don,t know.

I read many times they were looking at cases as old as 1930's. By chance, does anyone know which cases these are? And are they looking at those cases from the 70's west of Calgary too or just mostly Edmonton?

I read the same thing. About 84 cases of missing or murdered people with high risk in Alberta, Territories and I believe they are also helping with Saskatchewan cases. I think the 84 are mostly Alberta and NT, that would include Calgary. There was talk of a serial killer in the 70's and again in the 90's in Calgary. I'll try and get some info.

Hi,
May I ask for a topic under Serial Killers in Canada titled
Edmonton Serial Killer
Please?

I don't know if any other city has declared a serial killer publicly, but Edmonton certainly has, so there is a lot of information that needs to be put in this topic.

We could move this thread there. Thanks.

Regards,
Des

[Chris]

Hi Des,

This thread is titled that and under the serial killers category already. Is that what you meant?

[Desespere]

No,
what I mean is you have the section

Serial Killers In Canada

a sub section
Canadian Serial Killers

and a thread
Edmonton Serial Killer

What I was hoping for was:

Section
Serial Killers In Canada

Sub sections
Canadian Serial Killers
Edmonton Serial Killer

and topics could be put under Edmonton Serial Killer
for people who are looking for specific info about Edmonton

Lots of talk already about Edmonton. What do you think?

[Chris]

Done! As soon as you want another one made just let me know. Good idea, lots of topics. I will make a picton thread too.

[AlbertaCowboy]

Has there been any news on any developments in the case?

[Desespere]

No new news as far as I know.

[Adrian]

Other than the finding of a 26 year old woman, near the water treatment plant, in Hobbema, nothing yet. They say no foul play involved. I saw the tv, and the field looked similar to others.No name released.
