From April 1985 through summer 1987, five suspected prostitutes were murdered in the western provinces of Canada, their killer unidentified. Authorities are still divided on the question of responsibility, and they are even known to disagree about the final body-count. In August 1987, the CBS Evening News made passing reference to a dozen hookers slain in British Columbia, but the record of related cases seems to stand at five, with one of those killed in the neighboring province of Alberta. The first to die, on April Fool's Day 1985, was Pauline Johnson, a former prostitute found murdered at Coquitlam, B.C. Twenty months later, in December 1986, two strippers and suspected prostitutes were killed in North Vancouver, bodies dumped together near Indian River Road. Coquitlam police admitted they were "certainly interested" in apparent connections between the murders, but comparison brought them no closer to a solution. In January 1987, officers of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police visited Seattle, Washington, comparing notes on their murders with detectives from the "Green River' task force, but again the search led nowhere. On June 4, 1987, officers in Calgary, Alberta, found the naked, decomposed remains of Annette Leger, a 21 year-old local prostitute, stuffed in a highway culvert. Three weeks later, on June 27, another working girl 23-year-old Carol Davis - was murdered and dumped in a brushy area outside of Burnaby, B.C. Again, police acknowledged "similarities" while stopping short of making definite connections in the case. As in the troubling "Highway Murders," some years earlier, these crimes remain unsolved today.
