Author’s Note

There is no bibliography for this book, as none of these cases has appeared in any previously published book. All 10 mysteries and murders are cases that I worked on as the crime reporter for the Calgary Sun.

I was the reporter whose exclusive scoop broke the story of the Ted Gawron case, when no one in Medicine Hat had any clue it was happening under their noses. Also, I was at the scene when Ted’s remains were discovered in his backyard. I was there the day they dug up Sherwin Fettig from his makeshift grave west of Calgary, and I joined the search for little Jesse Rinker before they found his remains west of Rocky Mountain House. I was at the sewage plant where they found Albert Boudreau’s bones and was on the steps of the Canmore courthouse when Jason (Jacob) Lee forgave the media.

To research the other cases, I interviewed family members, lead investigators in the homicide unit and forensic scientists. Over the years, I have saved my notebooks, newspaper cuttings, murder files and court records that provided the original research material for these stories.
