A months-long sting led to a killer confessing on tape to police
Details of the Mr. Big sting that gathered valuable information and evidence – including a recorded confession – during the investigation of the Naomi Onotera homicide have been released by the B.C. courts.

They also showed Regis the benefits of the organization in another way – a scenario in which Regis saw UC#3 come to Mr. Big with a legal problem, and Mr. Big offered help. The next day, another undercover officer, pretending to be a nurse, offered to create a fake hospital admissions record for UC#3, to give him a fake alibi.
"It has to match," Mr. Big told Regis."You can't just make s--t up… They got you solid. They're coming for you and you're gonna go to court and be charged with the murder of your wife…"
