Many of those victims would not have been found. And I'm not sure what the conviction rate would have been on most of those cases either. There wasn't a lot of forensic evidence. It wasn't DNA like I did. There is today. I think it would have been hard-pressed to put that case together and be guaranteed that he would go to jail.

Like I said, I wasn't at the level where I was being consulted or aware of what was going on at that level. That was above my pay grade at that time.

There was no way, there was no system to link similar crimes in different jurisdictions, even if they were next door to one another. So the Lower Mainland is a very small and geographic area. Even there, you had kids going missing and weeks and months going by before other detachments knew that they had a case similar to the one you were investigating.

I wasn't a big city investigator here. I was a guy that was on drug squad that just moved off for a major crime. So I was kind of like the new guy on the block. So one of the foot soldiers that did a lot of the canvassing. And really, my first real active role in the investigation was when Simon Partington went missing.

Because of his age and his gender and the circumstances, he came from a supportive family, all of that stuff. So immediately when he went missing, that was all hands on deck.

Well, I knew Cliff Olson because he's a rounder from the Lower Mainland. He spent more time in jail than he spent out. But he was always known for these petty crimes, B&Es. There's no information or anything I can remember where he offended in this way prior to him being in his late 30s, early 40s, which is really late for these kinds of offenders to start looming, you know.

I can tell you that Clifford Olson was an informant to see what Clifford Olson could get and often thought he was smarter than the cops. So he may have provided information, but there was something in it for him.
