I recall the Liknes murders Dennis, especially living in Calgary at the time. I really was dumbfounded that Garland would kill the 5 year old boy. It was very sad event. Btw, Garland lived on a farm near Airdrie, which is about 30km north of Calgary.

However, unlike the Toronto police, the Calgary homicide squad used the public immediately, which I think was how they solved it as quickly as they did. They have a good track record at solving crimes. Maybe the Toronto police should reach out to them for help... Lol.

I followed that one from the start. A tragic case.

And your point is taken. The Gilgo Beach serial killer is a good example. I believe a single cop was on that case as well, before a new commissioner took charge and organized a fresh task force.

It isn't a bad idea. There seems to be next to no oversight at TPS. At least not that is relevant to the public and the public's confidence.
