Is AG's murder still being actively investigated? It's seems they have a lot of decent clues, and possibly even some connected crimes, but I have a terrible feeling that after that first botched arrest, this is starting to go into Cold Case territory. Although I do realize CA usually likes to play their cards close to the vest, especially compared to the US, where it seems our news reporters publish every piece of information they can find, sometimes to the detriment of an investigation.

I have been conflicted about if I should even bring up the following, but a few weeks ago, I noticed that a composite sketch in a similar case discussed here seems to look quite a bit like a person connected to AG's case. Has anyone else been thinking on this or am I reading too much into it?

Interested in seeing the composite sketch you mention, could you point me in the direction, thanks.

We know about the composite pic.......
 

Yes, that's the one I was referring to.

Right now, I'm making a side by side comparison of the composite with 2 photos I could find online, one from 2010ish and one from 2008, for my own reference.

Still not convinced completely, of course. There do seem to be similarities, but I know composites are never 100%, just really more of a guideline if the witness happens to be able to give a good description.

You're right. The composite looks very much like someone in AG's case! And that's why I keep harping on the fact that I think the SL case is related to AG's case. :waiting:

Very true, but the composite does tell us:
- he has short hair which could be slicked back
- he was not familiar to the SL area - I mean, he wasn't a regular person seen there daily
- he is sturdily built
- he's young
- he looks like someone else we have pics of

All to 'coincidental' for me..............
 
NSU: the post you made regarding the Unsolved site actually was a post THAT Unsolved poster rephrased from OUR discussion here at Webslueths. THAT poster just didn't give credit where credit was due. (I know this to be a fact)

Just to keep the records straight.
 
From Hazel's post ( and Sillybillys') some time back, I had forgotten about some of the tidbits previously sleuthed here.

Very odd, isn't it SB? why edit that part out?

Yep, the turquoise is the index finger and thumb of the LE officer (latex gloves) while holding up the "object" ... the other officer is holding an evidence bag, but that one we don't know what it could contain.

To me the "object" looks like a gardening tool, maybe a pruning saw? The handle and body is silver in colour, and the blade is dark (perhaps black), though the blade looks too long for it to be a pruning saw

Wish we could still watch that "scene" on the video clip...much easier to make up the shape while it is being picked up than on a still frame.

Not exactly how the "object" looks to me, but thought it could be a tool for cutting twigs or small branches. Cannot find anything with an extended blade though.

shape-wise more like the one at the bottom: http://www.elegantgalaxy.com/images/stanley-hacksaw.jpg

I guess it is called: "mini hacksaw" or "utility hacksaw"? we need the expert opinion of a gentleman...Valleyboy, are you around?

Ohhhh, many thanks for the info. I had no idea as I took the link from amron. And certainly not laying blame to any of our members here at WS!! :)

:tyou:
 
Thank-you greenthumb. The victims in this arrest are so varied - it will be interesting to learn how he fits into a known profile for killers.

While he murdered a woman only 6 weeks or so after AG was killed, there is no mention of a 'sexual component' to these attacks - leaving AG's killer still close to home?
 
Those attacks appear to take place in public domain and are rushed, If he, ( the alleged perp) had the opportunity to attack someone in a private home, who knows whether or not an assault of a sexual nature would take place...
 
You are right dotr - the elderly gentleman was attacked in his home and it remains to be seen what else, if anything, may have happened. This gentleman has some unsavory convictions in his past - had me wondering at the time if it was a revenge killing.

Didn't LE say that AG knew her killer? I wonder if this guy will turn up as someone known to AG? Interesting...........

ACCUSED SERIAL KILLER: The mystery man on Stirton Street

Neighbours say he was ‘quiet and friendly' — now he's accused of waging a wave of terror

Just days after George Washington Burnett was found murdered in his home last fall, neighbours remember being invited onto his front porch where a young man led them in a reading from his own bible.

Adam Bomberry knew the young man as RJ and believed he was a friend of Burnett. His wife Angel, who often brought the 82-year-old Stirton Street man food and did his laundry, said the young man was seen in the neighbourhood all the time, sometimes on a bike, and described him as “quiet and friendly.”

"Robbery does not appear to be the intention in any of the attacks, says Hrab.

Asked if mental illness could be a factor, Hrab declined to comment.

Café, the Canadian-born son of Haitian parents, claims to be the founder of an organization called A Righteous Socialist Organized Nation — or ARSON — for short. On another Facebook page, he rants about “the 21st century version of slavery through exploitation” and warns that “people are getting needlessly rich off of your life.”

On another Facebook page, where Café spells his name Caafe, he says he was a student at Mohawk College, went to high school in Ottawa and likes books about Martin Luther King Jr. and Malcolm X. It says he enjoys volleyball and golf, and lists The Color Purple and Gladiator as favourite movies."



"While serial predators are extraordinarily rare in Hamilton, they are not unheard of.

In 2009, Najim Khairzad was sentenced to four years and four months in prison after pleading guilty to violently raping four sex workers, beating them, holding them in headlocks and choking them nearly to unconsciousness.

And in 2000, Sam Pirrera was charged with two murders. Nine years earlier, he strangled his young bride, Beverly Anne Davidson, dismembered her and threw her body parts into a vat of molten steel at Dofasco. For years after that, he led Davidson’s family to believe she had run off to California.

Then he met sex worker Maggie Karer. He beat her to death with a pool cue in the basement of his Mountain home. He chopped her up with a butcher knife and stored the pieces in plastic bags and a cardboard box.

Pirrera fatally overdosed in jail while awaiting his trial"

Gee, that's a shame.
 
I find it interesting that this Cafe fellow knew his elderly victim (allegedly) but not the other victims (allegedly), according to Hrab. Hrab refuses to discuss why he maintains this elderly gentleman was targeted but says nothing about the other victims. It was Hrab that initially maintained AG was killed by a stranger, but the new lead detective says just the opposite.

I agree maxfactor - 'gee, what a shame' an accused would overdose while in jail awaiting trial. At the risk of a backlash, I'm much more interested in justice for Laura Young than the convicted ped.
