Police in Vancouver are on track to lay 40 charges related to the Stanley Cup riots by Halloween, investigators said Wednesday.
“We are on track to deliver 40 charges to Crown by October 31st, and more charges will continue to flow in the weeks and months to follow,” Les Yeo, a team commander with the Integrated Riot Investigation Team, said in a statement Wednesday afternoon.
The team is also serving warrants on a number of media outlets in Vancouver — among them The Vancouver Sun, The Province, and Globe and Mail newspapers, along with Global TV, CTV and CBC.

Who Killed Audrey Gleaves

David Scott Barn

 

The barn where David Scott was living is about six kilometres from Audrey’s house on Indian Trail in Lynden.

There was no immediate family at the memorial service for Audrey Gleave. She had none.
Former students and friends posted loving comments about her on the funeral home website. She was an original; brilliant, funny, eccentric.
She could also be a polarizing figure as a teacher. Former student Steve Mihalich, who was in her physics class in the mid-'70s at Barton Secondary School, said she was a tough marker and especially severe with male students. He said her expectations were high — higher than her students were able to achieve.
“It's so sad what happened to her,” he said. “You never imagine that someone you knew in your past would have their life end that way.”
Allan Gleave did not make the trip from where he lived up north to attend the service. Audrey's ex-husband had heard it was a private affair and wasn't sure he'd be welcome. And he wasn't keen on tackling the winter roads.
