Bonnie Lynn Jack - May 2, 2006 - Age 37 - Murdered - STW - EDMONTON (CP) - A woman whose body was discovered recently near Edmonton was a sex-trade worker who also had connections to Vancouver, police said Friday. Bonnie Lynn Jack, 37, also known as Bonnie Lynn Loyie, was found by a couple out walking east of Sherwood Park on Tuesday. It's in an area where the bodies of a number of murdered prostitutes have been discovered in recent years. "Investigators have learned that (Jack) had connections with both Edmonton and Vancouver that involved a high-risk lifestyle including activities in the sex trade," said RCMP Cpl. Wayne Oakes.
"She had contact with both communities, she frequented both communities. How much time was spent where, I have no knowledge of that."
He wouldn't say if police have persons of interest in the case and wouldn't discuss the condition of the body. He said Jack was identified through an autopsy but did not provide details.
"I don't know have the specifics (on the identification), whether it was dental, fingerprints or some other means."
He said they are treating the case as a homicide, and that Jack's family has been devastated.
"I can tell you this lady, as with many of our victims, was a mom. Another very sad element."
The investigation involves members of Project Kare, a special RCMP-led task force that has been concentrating on the prostitute murders.
The Jack case brings to 27 the number of cases being reviewed by Kare in the greater Edmonton area.
Oakes said it will be a challenge to retrace Jack's steps, "as the family last had contact with Bonnie approximately two to two-a-half months ago."
He believed the contact was in Edmonton and said police want anyone who may have seen or talked to her to contact them.
Police are also working on the case of Theresa Merrie Innes.
The body of the 36-year-old sex-trade worker was found in a home in Fort Saskatchewan, north of Edmonton, on May 7.
Thomas George Svekla is charged with second-degree murder in that case.

The newspaper has the name of five more women, Bonnie is one of them. I believe the dates in the paper of March should be May as she was found after Svekla was arrested May 7 or 8, 2006. Also, we've been told her middle name was Lynn but here it shows her name as Joanne. I'll leave it at Lynn for now and see if there is a correction.

BONNIE JOANNE JACK

Bonnie Joanne Jack was a 37-year-old Metis prostitute who worked the streets of Edmonton and was addicted to cocaine.

She was last seen on the morning of March 2, 2006, at the office of the Prostitute Action Awareness Foundation of Edmonton.

Two weeks later, on March 16, two high school students out for a walk discovered Jack's body in a wooded area east of the city, about a kilometre south of Township Road 542 and Range Road 225 - just one km northeast of where Rachel Quinney had been discovered two years earlier.

Out of these thirteen women, one was last seen by members of KARE (Delores) and Bonnie was last seen by staff at PAAFE. Obviously someone else saw them after that but even these two orgs were unable to protect these women from being murdered.

That is a very good question I too wounder why.PAFFE was set up the sametime that the city thought it would be a good idea to Lic all the STW's.On a ''PUBLIC Record'' it shows PAFFE was set up Feb 11/1997.

This is also about the time the deaths of the STW's started to rize,I do have to wounder if Lic has anything to do with this.I sure hope not.

The witness on there corrorate registry for soietites is one guy by the name of  E.B. Campbell (Edward) 9308 71 Ave Edmonton Alberta.
Occupation is listed as Retired.?
From What.?


Then again in Feb 7/2005 Freinds of PAFFE was formed this is about the time we foght city hall for Independent Lic's so the STW's did not have to work for and agency.The price was set out at 1600 bucks at that time to obtain an Indy Lic.
Some people said if you keep it that high it would act as a deturent for women entering the sex trade.

Then again we have  MR Edward Campbells (Retired) name as now being on the borad of this one.

What? This group was formed before all the murders and they were the last known people to see one of the victims?

This is very odd to me. WOuld the police even look into of these people? We have all speculated how a person can get a street smart girl into a position to get murdered, and one thing we all talked about was a cop or something like that.

Maybe it was a social services type person who works at one of these agencies?

Nothing would surprise me anymore though. I still think it is a couple female male who are both in on it. I said it over 2 years ago and  I still do. Probably lives in that area, or SE of Edmonton where it all happens and when caught, everyone will be shocked.

Did you notice where she was LAST SEEN? It may just mean that was where she was last seen and thats all.We will all have to wait,but in light of our discussions i found this intriguing!

I see you have already commented on this. I did not see that you commented this morning. So Desespere, what do you make of that? You mention that you feel  "they did not protect them" and infer that Bonnie must have seen someone else. Okay, understood. Could someone at PAFFE have known Svekla? Do you feel the contact with PAFFE is unrelated to the eventual death of Bonnie? Just trying to see what you think here, as i am unclear on this, but do find it intriguing, your ideas are always interesting.

Anyone have more?

1) Saturday, May 20, 2006
Lagimodiere said the last time she saw Jack was weeks ago when she had to tell her to leave her apartment because she was doing crack cocaine and getting out of hand.


2)Shortly after noon on May 16, 2006 a young couple out for a walk discovered a human body in a lightly wooded area near a farmer's field, east of Sherwood Park."The last known contact that we have, at this point in time, is with her family approximately two months ago," Oakes said. "I believe that contact was here in Edmonton."Jack was not reported missing, nor was she registered with Project Kare.RCMP have not released the cause of death, or how long Jack's body was in the woods before it was found.

The last body found was that of Bonnie Lynn Jack, 37, discovered by a couple walking near Township Road 542 and Range Road 225, in northern Strathcona, on May 16, a week after Svekla was charged in Innes?s death. Police haven?t said how long she?d been dead. ?We have maintained right from the beginning that we have reason to believe more than one person is responsible for more than one death,? said Oakes. ?Project KARE stands firmly behind that.?


?I think it could happen through a sting and that?s why we?re advocating for more stings,? said Kate Quinn, executive director of the Prostitution Action and Awareness Foundation of Edmonton (PAAFE). ?Somewhere along the line this person is going to slip up.

"Joanne McCartney, a former Edmonton police officer who works with the Prostitution Awareness and Action Foundation, a community action group, applauds the addition of officers, but wonders why it was so long coming. "Obviously, the more members they have investigating the better," McCartney said Wednesday"


"Bellamy, who is assigned to Project KARE, told a news conference she expects someone has information that could spur the investigation."The person responsible for these homicides is going to be somebody's neighbour. He may be somebody's brother. But he will likely not look like the monster that we see in the movies," she said"

"Police admitted it was unusual to release such a detailed suspect profile, but said they believe there are people in the Edmonton area who know the offender and suspect criminal activity"

"It is our belief that one person is responsible for more than one offence but not necessarily for all of these murders," said RCMP Const. Tamara Bellamy"


"Edmonton police detectives say they believe there is a serial killer stalking the city's prostitutes - and that the man is to be found among johns that the police have already arrested. Detective Jack KRAUS said his research into serial killers indicates that the man responsible has already had a run-in with police. Detective Jim MORRISSEY, said he believes the killer is among the "people we know"

[Desespere]

The 188 page affadavit the officer wrote to secure a wire-tap warrant said that they had a few other suspects and that three of them had been ruled out. One is an unknown man. Two, the affadavit said, were last seen with Rachel in the weeks before Rachel's death. The sentence seems to say that the two men were together when they last saw Rachel. These two guys would be buddies I guess, known to each other? The technician who administered the lie-detector test on these two men say they both lied, they both have knowledge of the crimes. There is no DNA to connect them.

I believe there are two other guys in some of the murders, particularly those Svekla is involved with. I believe Delores for sure was taken by two guys, with Svekla's knowledge or participation. I believe they are invovled with Corrie, who went missing four days before, and possibly even Cherly Black who was found the same week burned in a dumpster behind the Orange Hall just off Whyte Avenue. The Sunday Corrie went missing was Mother's Day, the following Sunday was Victoria Day weekend. Mother's Day Corrie was last seen. Four days later Delores was last seen, and one week to the day after Corrie was last seen, Cheryl Black was last seen and found murdered two days later.

I do not think any of this is a coincidence.

To Kindheart:

I have a feeling about some of the organizations involved with sex trade workers in Edmonton. As this is a very small circle of people who have a lot of power and place in the sex-trade workers lives, it would not be wise to say anything specific. There are not more than a dozen people or so that have access regularly, or the possibility of access regularly, with these women. I do feel it makes a lot of sense for the killer to be a social worker of some sort who may have access to these women through their work.

What I don't get is how Bonnie could be last seen by PAAFE but not registered with KARE. I hope to hell PAAFE would encourage and support women to register with KARE. That is upsetting to me to hear she was accessing services of PAAFE but not registered with KARE. KARE needs to know the women in Edmonton, for their safety.

When I first heard about Bonnie's murder and she wasn't registered with KARE, it made me think it was deliberate the killer chose a non-KARE registered woman.

To Desespere,
Do stw HAVE TO register, i mean some must choose not to, for some reason?

[Desespere]

Women, of course, have the option to register with KARE. If Bonnie chose not to register I'm sure she had her reasons. Maybe women don't want to register because it might draw legal attention to themselves? But realistically, I think many women have registered and I don't think, at least I hope, that EPS is not made privy to the information of who's registered.

It is obvious that EPS in general wants to work towards eliminating prostitution in Edmonton, particularly in about three neighbourhoods. They participate with the community housing people to tell on women who are STWs so the women cannot rent or will be evicted from existing low-income housing. Particularly those that are owned by Capital housing.

People from PAAFE or E4C (who operate almost all, if not all, of the emergency housing for women in Edmonton) do not appear to want to help women currently invovled in sex trade in Edmonton. Most of the affordable housing in Edmonton not owned by the city are owned by E4C or a few other private people that have received huge grants to buy, fix-up or build new apartments for low-income people.

I have to correct my statement above where I said out of 13 women, two were last seen by agencies developed to help these women. I should have said out of 11 women, two were last seen by agencies developed to help these women.

KARE was formed in 2003 and since that date many women have been murdered.

I am certainly feeling that since Svekla's arrest those others involved have been lying low because they know they have been questioned and they know they are being watched or scrutinized.

But if Svekla was in jail on May 4 as the paper said, in High Level and Bonnie was last seen about May 1, then Svekla could not be involved in Bonnie's death. I've not found anything other than the recent article that says Svekla was in jail during three of the murders. Edna Bernard (September 2002) - yet calculations show Svekla was in jail until August 2002. Also he said Svekla was in jail when Charlene Gauld was murdered - She was last seen April 10, 2005. Both Edna and Charlene were badly burned. Other than Cheryl Black found burned in a dumpster on Tuesday May 18, 2004 and Charlene Baas December 18, 1988 no other unsolved victims in Edmonton have been burned. There are several in Alberta and throughout the country over the past 20 years,  but not many comparativley.

So if Svekla was indeed in jail when Charlene and Edna were murdered, Svekla is not the pyro.

Bonnie Lynn ?She was last seen on the morning of March 2, 2006, at the office of the Prostitute Action Awareness Foundation of Edmonton.?  All i have is this PO box -T5J 3K6

How come there is no known location for this organization? Thats F**cked and i have NEVER heard of an organization that is funded by public money, CHARITABLE OR NOT, that hides their address! People who work with this population cannot HIDE and still pretend to "do good works", that is asinine and unforgivable.
