A Serial Killer from the U.S. Preyed on Young Women in Canada
(www.nytimes.com)
So happy with the thumbnail Lemmy picked
It's a good one!
This is the best summary I could come up with:
Over the course of a year in the 1970s, he dumped the remains of four young women in different spots — along a road, in a gravel ditch, beneath an underpass — just outside Calgary, in Western Canada.
Still, it took nearly 50 years and filtering through 853 possible suspects for Canadian police on Friday to finally reveal that the women had been the victims of a serial killer.
Five months later the police found Barbara MacLean, 19, a bank worker who had gone out with friends to a cabaret show at a bar in Calgary.
“We truly believe the suspect is not involved in only four homicides, but there’s a distinct possibility that he’s responsible for many more, either in Alberta, British Columbia, or the western United States,” Staff Sgt.
Mr. Srery was born in Oak Park, an affluent suburb of Chicago, and then moved to California with his family and three younger siblings, the authorities said.
“In light of the growing demand for genetic genealogical testing in Canada, we need to re-evaluate where we’re doing that work,” said Nicole Novroski, a forensic geneticist and professor at the University of Toronto.
The original article contains 869 words, the summary contains 192 words. Saved 78%. I'm a bot and I'm open source!
