Just heard about this case being solved and didn't see a thread for Vicki.
Murder charge laid in 1993 cold case of Vancouver woman found in dumpster
Police in B.C. believe they have finally cracked the cold case of a Vancouver woman murdered over a quarter-century ago.
Vicki Black was 23 years old in March 1993 when her body was discovered, wrapped in a bedsheet, in a dumpster in the 2000-block of East Hastings in Vancouver.
Stephen Laroche has been charged with second-degree murder. He appeared in a Vancouver courtroom on Friday and is scheduled to appear in court again on Dec. 2.
B.C. RCMP announce charges in 1993 homicide of 23-year-old Vicki Black - Medicine Hat News
VANCOUVER – The RCMP in British Columbia say a man is in custody and facing a murder charge in the homicide of a 23-year-old woman in Vancouver in 1993.
The Mounties announced in a news release Friday that Stephen Laroche has been charged with second-degree murder in the death of Vicki Black.
They say a Vancouver police review led to the file being transferred to the provincial unsolved homicide unit.
Vancouver police had already identified a suspect and the unsolved homicide unit worked to gather enough evidence to support a charge.
As a result, the new release says Laroche was arrested in Oakville, Ont., with the help of Hamilton police, and appeared in a Vancouver courtroom on Friday morning.
His next court appearance is scheduled for Dec. 2.
