Licensed to kill! 
Another name is added to the lengthening list of RCMP informants  implicated in murder. Once again the following stories demonstrate the legal problems encountered by the media when attempting to inform the public about one of these RCMP protected killers. This story could apply to any one of these highly protected agents.

Two bodies have just been discovered in a wooded area located along a back road which runs directly behind Shannon Murrin's family home in Newfoundland.

Shannon Murrin has previously been named as the prime suspect in the disappearance of the only couple to have ever disappeared from the area.

It is too much to expect the victims families to be able to deal with this situation on their own and the Newfoundland Constabulary will need the full support from their own organization, the political will, judicial assurances, media scrutiny, and every bit of public support they can get in order to bring this type of killer to justice.

Aug 7/06
During a recent drug trial, several informant handlers from the Kelowna RCMP were questioned about their knowledge of Shannon Murrin's protected informant status. Their answers demonstrate that the Kelowna RCMP still consider this to be privileged information. As a result, the public remains largely unaware of the potentially ulterior motive lurking behind the RCMP actions like washing the DNA evidence from Mindy Tran's clothes.

Aug 17/06
Mindy Tran was abducted twelve years ago today. This was usually the one day of the year that Mindy would get some mention in the mainstream press and the public would get reminded that her killer is still on the loose. This year, the timing of a bizarre confession in the JonBenet Ramsey murder case has blanketed the news for this day to the point of exclusion for Mindy. What little was said on B.C.'s Global TV about Mindy suggested that Shannon Murrin like the Ramseys, could possibly be innocent, and pointed out that just like in JonBenet's case, someone else (an inmate in Kent Penitentiary) has apparently confessed to Mindy's  murder. There was no mention of the suspects name or of any credible evidence to implicate him in the murder. In the United.States, the news reporters diligently questioned the credibility of the confession in the JonBenet case and searched out any evidence to confirm or refute the confession. Here in Canada, not one question was asked about the credibility of the confession in Mindy's case! The "illusion" that there could be another suspect, but no need to worry or call for an investigation because he is safely locked away, is once again placed in the public's mind. The Kelowna RCMP keep telling the press that the community was well served by the Mindy Tran investigation and that is all that gets reported year after year. The Newfoundland murders were never even mentioned in the Kelowna news.

Shannon Murrin and his girlfriend had previously published their account of the Mindy Tran case on a website dedicated to the wrongfully convicted. ( injusticebusters.com/  Afterwards, following the publishing of this site, Murrin's girlfriend contacted the publisher of their story asking for it to be removed. It was Murrin's girlfriend who supplied the information naming Murrin as the prime suspect in the Worthman Lockyer murders prior to their bodies being found behind Murrin's family home.

Mindy Tran was not the first unsolved case involving a missing Vietnamese girl and a serial killer that Forbes,
the head of the Kelowna RCMP had been involved in.
 quote:
On instruction from the Attorney Generals office of Alberta, Corporal G.A. Gary Forbes, R.C.M.P. officer of the general investigation section of Edmonton visited Kingston Penitentiary to see Olson. Statements were written on April 14th, 1983and signed by Olson and G.A. Forbes of the R.C.M.P. pertaining to the three murdered girls. These statements cannot be made public by Olson because of the R.C.M.P.'s ongoing investigation in this matter. It can be noted, however, that one of the victims was Oahn Ngoc Ha a 19 years old Vietnamese who was then employed at the Banff Hotel where Olson stayed.

RNC have made an arrest in connection with the 1993 murders of Kimberly Ann Lockyer and Dale Worthman. A 37 year old man from Portugal Cove-St. Philips was arrested and will appear in court tomorrow on two charges of second degree murder.  Police called a news conference this evening to make the announcement.  Worthman and Lockyer disappeared more than 13 years ago and in August of last year after a ground search off Thorburn Road,  two sets of remains were found.  An autopsy determined the pair had been shot.

Compliments of the late Sheila Steele.
The RCMP notes that implicated Shannon Murrin in his latest high profile  murder case were originally published years ago on Sheila Steele's injusticebusters.com website. Little did anyone know then that the bodies of this couple would later be discovered buried alongside a trail running directly behind Shannon Murrin's former residence. The pattern of protection documented here appears to be repeating! Why? 
The media has taken notice and published the notes.
