Drats, I can't watch CBC videos, but I went over to Gavin's thread to borrow a screen shot from a Google map that I had posted there.
Sandpiper might be along to get this cleared up for us.
Directly below this sentence is a link that will show some of our conversation on Gavin's thread, the snap back should take you to the rest of it.
Websleuths Crime Sleuthing Community - View Single Post - Found Deceased Canada - Gavin Adams, 17, Saint John New Brunswick, 14 December 2013
I believe the picture below is the train crossing.
If you zoom in on this map:
http://goo.gl/maps/l7cYZ, you can see the gray line depicting the train tracks.
This picture below is a screen shot of the area from Google maps. From the link above, if you go into street view under Marker "C," you can get a very good view of the area by just turning the wheel about a quarter turn to the right. From my previous conversations, I believe he was found just behind where the bus is parked.
It's definitely discouraged for people to walk the tracks, but I know people don't always listen.
There would have been minimal snow on Saturday night, but I suppose he could have slipped.
I once slipped and fell--hitting the back of my head so hard that it knocked my glasses clear off my face. I didn't die. I got up and went on.
Supposing he had his cell phone with him, if he had fallen and broken a leg or something there must have been someone he could have reached.
I don't find the idea of him falling and it immediately causing death highly probably.
Trains know when they hit people. They come to a screeching stop, and there is a big investigation. They wouldn't keep that hid--especially as a "no foul play."
Neither would a hit and run traffic accident. They would be scouring the city for who hit Gavin, and most likely asking for the help of the public.
There is a lot of vehicle traffic on the streets in that area. Someone should have seen something.
I hope you don't hold your breath waiting for a detailed report. Just some words of wisdom, there.
I think I understand what you are getting at about the other unsolved missing person's cases, but I don't have an answer for you. I did do some quick Googling but I was unsuccessful.
There could be at least one older than Kimberly's; and maybe one more recent. It's interesting that they mentioned no names in that little blurb.
Kimberly, for one, is not
missing--as in alive and missing--and they know it. imo
Here's another link in which you may be able to watch the video, hth Truth.

I made a quick list of missing people in NB. I haven't had time to search to all see if any of them have been solved though, sorry. I have with the women and most of the males. It may be a start.

I'm sure there are more, just don't have the time right now. My point was trying to find which women they were referring; four women in 32 years. MOO.
