10 years since the Disappearance of Melind Eve White

[secret.]

10 years ago this month the body of my mom's best friend was found, and her murder still remains a mystery or is it???

At the time this happened i was still young, and just a couple years earlier there was the murder in 1997 of the kindergarten teacher and the cop in pincher creek. This is my theory about my mom's friends death. So based on facts I believe that Lorraine McNab's husband was also a cop but they were seperated or divorced, so she started seeing this other cop, I think he worked as a cop with her her ex husband. I think that her husband still cared about her and couldnt stand to see her with anyone else also someone that he worked with and had to see everyday, so I think he killed them both, and since he was a cop, he hid the evidence well and that is why no one has found the killer. Well this same cop I understand was very fond of my mom's friend Melinda, he would always flirt with her and ask her out but she always turned him down. The night Melinda went missing Jan 23 1999, she was very intoxicated from what the reports in the paper said, so Im guessing she was walking home alone and THE COP offered her a ride, she must have trusted him cuz well he is a cop, and i think he tried something to her along the way and instead of bringing her home he got mad becuz she refused him once again, I think he killed her out of anger. So everyone is looking for her, they looked everywhere but there was no trace of her, it was assumed that she took off somewhere, but that wasnt her because she had a young daughter at home who was her world and she wouldnt just leave her without saying a word. 4 months went by and they found her body April 18 1999, they found her body by westcastle in the water and it appeared to have been there for quite sometime, the thing is that she had none of her belongings with her at all, and they havent found the killer, and THE COP probably hid the evidence as well in this case also that is why it has not been solved. Also based on facts I understand that this same cop died a week later in a plane crash. A few years down the road, my mom went to a psychic and asked "will melinda's death ever recieve judgement" and the lady told her "not in the hands of man, but in the eyes of god" and she also said the person who did this to Melinda was a "authority figure" and this is where my theory came from. So if this is all true than I guess it is in the hands of god now. but tell me what you think of my theory, i never told anyone i thought I would put what i think down on here.

This happened in Pincher Creek Alberta 1999

Welcome to the site Secret.. I am so sorry that you have carried this with you, for so many years.. I remember hearing about the teacher & cop being murdered. You have a very interesting theory, and may very well be right, as he was in some way associated to all three. If he was the one who killed them, then I would say, that Karma had a hand in his death..It is sad, however, that there has been no way to find answers in these deaths.. I did a search for information on these cases, and this is all I could find..


Cold cases leave unhealed wounds

Last Friday, The Herald took a look back at the still-unsolved double murder of Peter Sopow and Lorraine McNab which rocked the Pincher Creek community 11 years ago.
But the killing of the RCMP officer and the kindergarten teacher isn’t the only southern Alberta murder case whose trail has gone cold. Several other deaths in recent years remain a mystery, leaving family members with unanswered questions and without a sense of closure.
Some of these unsolved deaths are listed on the RCMP’s cold case list (www.rcmp-grc.gc.ca/cold_case/index_e.htm). One that isn’t there is that of Melinda White, a 31-year-old single mother who disappeared Jan. 22, 1999 after leaving Leo’s Pub in Pincher Creek’s King Edward Hotel. Her body was found April 18 that year in the Castle River, 14 kilometres west of town. While police considered her death suspicious, no one was ever charged in connection with the death.
One of the older crimes on the RCMP’s cold case file is that of Kelly Cook, a 15-year-old girl from the village of Standard, about 70 kilometres northeast of Calgary, whose body was found June 28, 1981 in the Chin Lake Reservoir east of Lethbridge. Kelly was last seen the evening of April 22 when a man picked her up at her family’s home for a babysitting job.
Farther east, on Dec. 30, 1990, 71-year-old Alfred Palmer and his 35-year-old daughter-in-law Dolores Palmer were found shot at the rear entrance to a farmhouse on a dairy farm west of Medicine Hat. Dolores was dead at the scene and Alfred, a former councillor with the Municipal District of Cypress, died in hospital the next day.
About a year earlier, on July 31, 1989, the body of 27-year-old Michael Masson was found in a shallow grave south of Medicine Hat. He had not been seen since June 5 and his killer has not been found.
Earlier this fall, some 300 people took part in the second annual Sisters in Spirit Vigil, one of close to 40 held across the country to remember the hundreds of aboriginal women who have gone missing or been murdered. Only one other province has a higher number of missing or murdered aboriginal women than Alberta.
While these deaths may be forgotten by the public and media, they certainly aren’t forgotten by family and friends of the victims. For those loved ones, the pain of their loss continues and likely becomes more prominent this time of year as families make plans to celebrate Christmas.
Family members and friends of Peter Sopow and Lorraine McNab are caught in the hellish limbo of a murder case that may never be solved. And, sadly, they’re not alone.

I never even heard of this case, that is odd. I heard of the double murder and I recall the police officer who shot a guy in jail there in 1999, but this case escapes me. That was pretty close to the time that shooting at Taber Alberta and I recall I was aware of what was going on at that time.

I do not recall a police officer dying in a plane crash.

Hpoe that gets solved, it is quite weird that no one heard of that here.

this isnt exactly what went dow, its my theory of what happened, but everything i know seems to match up to this theory and I think its true, but a lot of information would need to been gathered up, like if Lorraine Mc Nab's ex husband really was a cop, but i know for sure that this one cop was very fond of Melinda but my mom told me this and just her and Melinda knew about it, so i wonder if there is a connection.

Secret. - any way for you to find out if Lorraine's ex was a cop and what his name was?

[secret.]

probably the only way to find out is if I personally contacted or asked a close family member of hers, and I have no idea who they are, that would take some research to do, but i do recall the papers saying Lorrain McNAb had 2 kids, but i just dont know how to go about this.

[Desespere]

I read about a cop dying in a plane crash, at least a couple of years ago. I think I posted something about that, but I do know
there were two that died in that crash.
I'll try to find that again, not sure if it's the same person.

I do like your theory. Not hard to understand why these cases aren't publicized, perhaps the police suspect too and since he's
dead, they don't publicize the case. I found that cases where there is a real strong suspect, they don't get publicized.

I've also found the cold cases that are solved much later, for some reason, the cases aren't publicized. In those cases it is
obvious to me that the police have always had a likely suspect and just needed the right time/evidence.

Secret; I think that was a very well thought out conclusion. What does your mother think?

[turtlebee]

i know how you feel... i have carried with me a murder of a girl that i once knew as a friend... i was and still am very afraid of telling people of what i heard about her murder after the fact... i just gave a report after 15 years to the police... i can't imagine what her or the other girls went through in their last hours.... i almost ended up where they were....
