RCMP investigators had four main suspects in the July 8, 1965, bombing — all passengers. Author Michael Arntfield says one suspect clearly stands out.
Clement Livingstone King’s work took him far from his Toronto head office. The senior partner at the venerable Deloitte, Plender, Haskins and Sells accounting firm was flying near 100 Mile House in Central B.C. when the pilot cried into his radio, “Mayday! Mayday! Mayday!”
Also among the dead was Wallace Brooks Emo, a 33-year-old geologist from Montreal, en route to Whitehorse for work.RCMP, Transport Canada and CP Air investigators did a systematic reconstruction of the aircraft and chemical tests on the wreckage and victims and their belongings.Traces of acid were found on the pink nightgown of a flight attendant.Investigators determined the bomb was set off in the rear washroom of the airliner.
“To me, it speaks of inexperience,” said Arntfield, author of “How to Solve a Cold Case,” published this spring. “I see that as overkill,” he said.He wasn’t shady. Quite the opposite. He had likely discovered the inner working of one of the most epic frauds in Canadian history — his accounting firm had just audited Atlantic Acceptance Corp., a Toronto finance firm that was in receivership.
Kolezar had a temper, and was charged in 1958 with murder for a deadly brawl and eventually acquitted on the reduced charge of manslaughter.Another suspect was Paul Vander Meulen, 35, of Richmond, B.C. His psychiatrist said he had, “deep anger toward to world.” It was also noted that Vander Meulen was carrying a .44 Magnum revolver, which was registered with police.Arntfield doesn’t buy the theory that Vander Meulen was the mass killer.
Broughton’s what’s known as an “injustice collector” to criminal profilers — the type of person who considers themselves a victim and carefully nourishes grievances.
