For this heinous crime, Niedermeier served just 14 months in jail. In 2000, he was charged with 14 offences against seven Vancouver sex trade workers, but no evidence was found to link him to the murders in Calgary.Īccording to the 2011 report by the Sisterwatch Project of the Vancouver Police Department and the Women’s Memorial March Committee on Missing and Murdered Aboriginal Women in Canada, the murder risk for sex trade workers is approximately 60 to 120 times that of the general female population. Investigators returned to the hotel room where she’d been kept to get it for her. When investigators rescued the girl and finally interviewed her, she was so terrified that she requested the stuffed animal she’d kept for comfort during her captivity. In 1990, Niedermier was convicted of trafficking a 14-year-old girl in B.C., who he had met in Calgary. One possible suspect investigated in the Calgary murders was a Lethbridge pimp named Barry Thomas Niedermier. A grossly disproportionate number of these cases involved Indigenous women.įar too many of these murders, including the cases in Calgary, remain unsolved. In 2003, after examining 82 seemingly similar unsolved cases in Western Canada, the RCMP developed Project KARE to investigate the serial murders and disappearances of “vulnerable persons,” focusing on the cases in the Edmonton/Calgary area. By 2000, the pattern was impossible to ignore.
The murder of Shawna Vanderbasch, in June of 1991 - before Jennifer Janz - is just one of those cases.īetween 19, at least 56 sex trade workers were killed while working on the streets in Canada. Throughout the 90s, across Western Canada, violent attacks against women from all walks of life continued. The details of their findings were not released. It’s unclear if they examined the murders of Rebecca Boutilier and Tracy Maunder. They examined possible links between 15 murders, including those of Jennifer Janz, Jennifer Joyes and Keely Pincott. In 1993, the Calgary task force travelled to Edmonton for a “serial killer” psychological profile meeting with top FBI profilers. According to a May 1999 Calgary Sun article, after the murder of Rebecca Boutilier, six years passed without a murder of a sex worker in Calgary. Four of them had confirmed links to the sex trade. On top of that, you’ll discover the shocking battle to become Russia’s most prolific killer and the German monster who terrorised a community for years.In a span of 19 months, five women were murdered. Packed with interviews with the killers, crime scene photos, case histories, court testimonies and much more, the world’s most notorious murderers are featured within these pages, from American psychos such as Ted Bundy, Edmund Kemper, Gary Ridgway and Dennis Rader to British butchers including Peter Sutcliffe, Harold Shipman, Fred West and Kenneth Erskine. Part of what makes serial killers so compelling is trying to understand what leads people to carry out such terrible acts is it nature or nurture? What must have happened in their lives to lead them to this point? Why do they do it? What satisfaction do they get? And just how do they evade capture for long enough to kill multiple victims, in some cases running into the hundreds? In this book you’ll find answers to some of these questions, and discover the gruesome details of their most evil acts. Committing crimes of unspeakable horror, for the vast majority of us it’s impossible to comprehend what would lead our fellow men and women to undertake such harrowing acts, often against total strangers and innocent victims. As depraved as it is fascinating, the murky world of the serial killer has captivated us for centuries.
