Upon receiving the documents and case files, Arntfield set out to identify the perpetrators of the unsolved murders and sexual homicides of the period, using this rare trove of information while drawing on resources from his work in academia and law enforcement. Alsop left the cache to his son, who ultimately turned them over to Arntfield.įamily and neighbors of a victim help an artist create a composite drawing of one of the killers. “It’s unclear when it all came together, but established this compendium of his original diary entries from the 60s and 70s: old documents from a bygone era, Photostats, teletype transcripts and documents created from now extinct technologies that were thought lost to history,” said Mike Arntfield, a local detective with the London police service and professor at the London-based University of Western Ontario. He kept all of his notes and research on the murders hidden until he died in 2012.
