Travis McKenzie with the RCMP historical homicide unit said being able to bring answers to families, even decades later, is one of the most rewarding aspects of his team's work.
Due to the sensitive and/or legal subject matter of some of the content on globalnews.ca, we reserve the ability to disable comments from time to time.RCMP say more tips are coming in related to a serial killer who spent two decades in this province. Gary Allen Srery had an extensive criminal history, and as Catherine Urquhart reports, it's believed even more crimes could be tied to him.
“We are taking a look at his whereabouts and locations, throughout Alberta in the mid to late 1970s, as well as British Columbia, the Lower Mainland and Sunshine Coast,” McKenzie said.“What we’re doing with the tips is we’re taking them, we’re analyzing them with the information we know and that we don’t know. And in the cases where they’re outside of the province of Alberta, we’re speaking with the local detachments or different agencies that would have jurisdiction in those areas.
“It’s incredibly rewarding and it just gives us that energy we need to keep moving forward and, you know, persevering with all these other unsolved homicides,” he said.McKenzie said he hasn’t come across another case like Srery’s that involved so many young, innocent victims dating back to the 1970s.
“We know that it’s a big ask from people of the community. A lot of his colleagues and associates would be in their 70s and 80s now,” he said.
