I get so angry even seeing his name. I lived through his terror. I remember
the news, my mother's warnings, having to stop hitchhiking ( which was quite
safe where we were), walking in groups and never alone. I remember when a
car slowed down near us how we wondered if it was the killer.
I read the headlines about his parole or his pension, and all I want to do
is torture him, over and over and over.
There are times I wish we had the death penalty.

I was in a band with a guy who was one of his guards and he said the best
thing to do is never speak about him, because he's miserable. The only time
he's happy is when he's in the papers and when people come by to interview
him.

Fact is, the Olson case was so unusual that no one considered this the
work of a serial killer. Even the police didn't - until they paid Olson
to fess up to the other killings.

If you were 12 years old and hitchhiking - maybe you shouldn't have been

You were an 18 yr old guy who was indestructible; but it wasn't just me
that was scared.

Nope, just kids going missing and turning up dead.

It wasn't the big city, everyone hitchhiked. No buses, no license, you
hitchhiked; and I wasn't 12. Up until that ass, it was safe.
And thanks, Dad, I promise I won't any more.

Maybe you should think about the fact that he was caught in Port Alberni,
frequented the Sunshine Coast, and killed on the Sunshine Coast , it
wasn't just Vancouver. Murders didn't happen in small towns, that happened
in the city, so a lot of BC lost it's innocence.

I was in California in May, June, July and August of 1981 and didn't hear
anything about Terry Fox's death or even know anything about all the
kids being killed or who Olsen was, until I returned.

It must have been terrible for people who experienced what went on,
on a daily basis.

I meant exactly what I said. Which deaths of 12 year old hitchhikers
are you referring to? I think you're taking my comment out of context.
The context was that at that time there was no "serial killer on the
loose" story from the media or the police, and that at that time people
thought that kind of thing only happened somewhere else.

Hi Eric....

...I re-read your original post a few more times and I see what you
meant now....at the time the murders started no one really realized
the danger not until Simon Partington at least which was the third or
4 th victim of Olsons'......so no one was telling their kids to be
extra cautious...to be more aware...I didn;t intentionally take your
comment out of context....it just leaped out of your post at me....and
I had a gut reaction and over-reacted....

..I lost someone close to my family in the mid-nineties...it made a
lot of press and at the time there were poeple who were suggesting
that if they had not been in where they were when they were what
happened wouldn;t have..that somehow it was their own fault...or their
parents.....it upset and angered me very much at the time because I
was very much in the middle of the pain, grief and suffering that
happened as a result of it.....as I said it was very personal for
me...the worst experience I've ever dealt with my life....


..I apologize for the misunderstanidng....

In response to my post, you stated that living in Lynn Valley you were not
scared.
Then in closing you said Vancouver lost it's innocence.
I was trying to broaden your understanding of other areas that weren't the
'big city'. When I was growing up, Vancouver was where you locked your car
doors, looked over your shoulder, and never talked to strangers. There is a
huge difference in growing up in an area where you know most people and
their dog's name, and a city.

A lot of small towns where he did kill or they found bodies: the Fraser
Valley, Gibsons, Whistler, Port Alberni... they were not the big city.

Who did Olson kill on the Sunshine Coast?

Some teenage girl was killed in Gibsons in 1980 or 81. . I have no idea if
he was ever charged for it, I refuse to read about him, he isn't worth the
time. The murder happened in the same time frame and is what caused us to
be so scared; but of course at the time nobody knew who or what was
murdering.

There was:

Louise Chartrand,victim
After meeting with the police earlier in the day, that evening Olson went to
meet his lawyer, Bob Shatz. On the way, he spotted 17-year-old Louise
Chartrand, who was described as "very tiny and young-looking for her age."
The youngest of seven children, she had migrated from Quebec with three of
her sisters, settling in the Fraser Valley town of Maple Ridge, about 20
miles east of Vancouver.

In reconstructing the events, the police believed that Louise hitchhiked
part of the way to her night-shift waitress job with a man. After she was
dropped off, she headed for the store in downtown Mission to buy cigarettes.
It was only a 10-minute walk from the restaurant where she worked. During
this time Olson got her into his car, drugged her, and headed to Whistler.
On the way, he even stopped with Chartrand in his car at the Squamish RCMP
detachment to pick up a confiscated gun, but was turned away because the
officer in charge of court exhibits was not available. Then, Olson headed
for the treacherous Killer Highway, named by the locals because of the
numerous fatal car crashes that followed the snow. It led to Whistler,
another 45 minutes from Squamish.

And yet another one - do your own fucking research Deb before you slam a

The Beast of B.C.


"The beast can take over to complete an identity if you leave a hole in
yourself. In other words, it seeks a vacuum. In a healthy person the vacuum
doesn't exist. There's a sense of identity that prevents a need for the dark
awareness."

- A homicide offender describes his experience of the development of this
dark side of the human psyche

Children are easy prey. Well aware of this, Clifford Olson took advantage of
their innocence. He later told police that he quickly figured out that
teenagers were alike, that they will tell you just about anything if you
look and talk like you were interested in hiring them. Most were eager to
get a job. Being the classic hardened "con" enabled him to control many
situations. The confidence game gave him the opportunity to shield his real
motives. He was used to getting his way, one way or another.

He appeared pleasant, friendly, even charming, openly approaching the
children. However, his goal, far from friendly, was to gain their confidence
until he was in a position to overcome any resistance.

"Olson picks up the kids and offers them a job," said Cpl. Les Forsythe,
Burnaby RCMP. "He tells them he's a construction contractor and takes them
to building sites to show them the jobs. That's the line. He gets their
confidence-and remember he's good at that. He's shrewd. He's not dumb. He's
not a bad-looking individual. He could be somebody's dad. These kids would
follow along and he'd offer them drugs, or a drink, or a beer. This is after
he's felt them out and knows that he can probably do it with a degree of
safety."

Robert Shantz, who would serve as Olson's defense lawyer for the child
slayings, intended to show that his client had adopted Marcoux' personality.
Some evidence supported this theory:

· Olson left five children in the same Weaver
Lake-Mission area that Marcoux used for his victim.

· One of the children was found close to where Marcoux's
victim, Jeanna Doove, died.

· Olson used the same type of ruse to pick up some of
his victims.

· Olson killed one of the victims at Whistler, connected
to Weaver Lake by the back road Marcoux had mapped.

· Like Marcoux, Olson used strangulation to dispatch
some of his victims.

Olson didn't kill anyone on the Sunshine Coast. If he had he would've
admitted it, as he was being paid an awful lot of money by the RCMP per
victim.

You've claimed that Olson traveled the Sunshine Coast - well back that
up.

Where did Olson kill at Whistler? Where did they find bodies there?

Olson didn't kill anyone at Port Alberni either.

I don't like what you're doing here. You're trying to paint yourself as

...In my original reply I figured that was insult enough..because
their are people out there who blame the victim and in my opinion they
don;t have much more soul than the killers....I jumped to the possible
conclusion you were one of them....you deserved an apology and
explanation for that....

...as aside to the whole olson epsiode....


...my business lawyer was Robert Shantz partner at the time of the
muders....he told me this story a few years ago...so I may not have
all the details right...basically went like this...

...Olson was a long time client of theirs...shantz had defended him on
earlier charges....it paid well as Olson was always in trouble of some
sort or the other...so when the indictments came down on the first of
the killings they had a look and the evidence was very thin...in their
opinion the crown didn;t have much of a case..so they took it on...the
rcmp really didn;t have much....

...at the prelim during proceedings as the cases were being presented
to decide if their was going to be a trial.....Olson stood up and
said..."fuck it Shantzie...lets skip this bullshit...I killed them
all...and more"....this was the beginning of the cash for bodies deal
that was struck and I don;t beleive this exchange has ever been
contained in any literaturwe I have read about the case...

...after that they were stcuk with him as the lawyers of record...in
the end the notiriety destroyed their law prcatice and they parted
company soon after...to this day my guy though his office doesn;t
practice criminal law has lost work due to his connection with the
Olson case.... Shantz still practices criminal law in the MR area....

justme wrote ...

I answered to you then I thought, you know, let's see if I was way of base,
everything I wrote so far was from memory, so I looked it up, I done read
and got knowledge...

YOU:Olson didn't kill anyone on the Sunshine Coast.

ME: There was a girl killed in Gibsons, same time frame. Was it him? Who
knows, I don't. First murder that we heard of, first time we were warned to
be careful.

YOU: If he had he would've


admitted it, as he was being paid an awful lot of money by the RCMP per
victim.

ME:Yah, I don't believe he fessed up to all that he did and that is really
naive on your part.


YOU:You've claimed that Olson traveled the Sunshine Coast - well back that
up.


ME:There was a murder there at the same time as the others.

THE FACTS AFTER READING: Another slaying which the R.C.M.P. said had the
stamp of Olson was that of Mary Ellen Jamieson who disappeared on August
7th, 1980 on the beautiful Sunshine Coast just north of Vancouver city. The
pretty, blue eyed, blonde was last seen hitch-hiking on Highway 101 at Davis
Bay on Vancouver Island. Mary was on her way home after having dinner with
her boyfriend, 18 year old Adrian Dixon in Sechelt. She was hitch-hiking
because there was no bus service and her only alternative would be a $15.00
cab fare or ride with family or friends. Her family knew something was
terribly wrong when she did not return home by 11p.m. Her body was found
nine days later by three family friends off a logging road near the bay,
about 12 miles from her home. R.C.M.P. and searchers had been down the road
before and there was nothing that could be seen from a car. But a 17 year
old named Todd Redman had a feeling this was the spot. They stopped the car
and he grabbed a shovel and started digging in the gravel alongside the
road. Even though there were no signs that the ground had been disturbed,
the youth was convinced that Marney was there. She was lying fully clothed
with bruise marks around her neck where she had been strangled. Clifford
Olson knew the Vancouver area like the back of his hand and threeof his
known victims had been strangled. He also liked to leave his victims like
Marney on backroads

Good enough for you? You don't get it, do you? I knew there was a murder at
the start of all this, whether Olson was charged or not for it did not
matter, it was the start of all the murders of way too many children. I
believe he was responsible for this one too and probably many others. So do
many other people and the police.

YOU: Where did Olson kill at Whistler?
ME: I never said he KILLED at Whistler, read the fuckin posts.

YOU; Where did they find bodies there?

ME:They found somebody's body up there, Squamish-Whistler. Don't know which
kid it was.

Now I do, I read!!!!...and I read BQ's answer!

THE FACTS: Louise Simonne Marie Evelyn Chartrand - Chartrand was seventeen

when she was murdered on July 30, 1981 near Whistler B.C. The deceased was
picked up walking to work in Maple Ridge B.C. and driven to the Whistler
area where she was murdered by repeated hammer blows to the head. Her
decomposed body was found with evidence of massive skull fractures

YOU:Olson didn't kill anyone at Port Alberni either.

ME: Nope, that's where they managed to save the one in the car
finally.......that's where they caught the ass.


THE FACTS Olson's crime sprees lasted from November 1980 to August 1981
until he was arrested in Ucluelet in the Vancouver Island area with two
female hitch-hikers in his car.

OH shit, I was wrong, it was Ucluelet and it was TWO girls.


YOU BEING AN ASS: I don't like what you're doing here. You're trying to

paint yourself as
a victim of Olson. You're not.

ME CALLING YOU AN ASS: I never said I was. Never even claimed I was. I can
have memories of what happend though and because of it refuse to read
anything on the assehole, which is what I did state in my first post. You
read what you want to into it, fill your boots. I stated what we went
through, you didn't have the same experience, goody for you. I can also
misjudge what you said and take it that you are being a very unemotional,
inconsiderate monster for it not even registering in your little pea brain.
Do you even understand that I can't even comprehend how a moster like this
can even exist on this planet? How can I be a victim, or think I am, when I
can't? You are such an ass.

YOU: You keep lying and by doing that .

ME: I haven't lied about one frickin thing. What did I lie about? The areas?
Bullshit. He did dump a body up by Whistler. There was a girl killed in G
ibsons at the same time. He was in Port Alberni with a girl in his car.
What Eric? What, did I fuckin lie about. From the start you read much more
into this than was ever necessary.

YOU: you


make yourself look like a creep and a vampire

ME: Maybe that's why I don't grow garlic in my garden...never thought of
that.

ME: I am now thinking that it should be YOU that reads.

ME NOW CALLING YOU A SHIT: So you little shit, I am not as nice as dean is,
if you feel like you need to keep this up, fine but as far as I am
concerned, this topic is over and you sir, can go to fuckin hell. You don't
exist for me anymore.......ah, if it was only that easy in life.

I find this very curious. Did he ever say why he was convinced she was there,
or did the RCMP investigate his whereabouts around the estimated time of
death ?

I tried " Olsen " + " Todd Redman " and found some references but the ones I
looked at didn't add anything more than what Lori said.

It does seem strange though. It reminds me of the case in the states of the
little girl, I think her name was Kali [sp?]. The mother is on trial now for
her murder. Her defense was the babysitter took her and moved, so she
couldn't find her.

But a strange aspect of the case was a meter reader who worked in the mother's
neighborhood [ Kali and her mother were staying with her mother and father ]
had phoned in the tip line a couple times when they were searching for the
child's body, that he thought the body would be located at X, close to the
parents home.

The police investigated and found nothing where he said the body would be
found. Sometime later, the police received another call from him, saying he
was working in the neighborhood, needed to pee, and he went in the woods to
relieve himself, and stumbled upon the girls body.

Something weird going on with that. I wonder if the prosecuter is taking the
easy way out, and going after the easy target.

Do you live there? Just last week we were talking about Halfmoon Bay, my

Yes. I live in Halfmoon Bay. Since you were here there have been some
road improvements - a few straight stretches with passing lanes and many
corners are less severe. Ruby Lake to Earls Cove is probably much as you
remember it.

Sorry, it ain't deliverance up there, no matter what you think. I will
agree that being related to someone who did something terrible might be
a bit worse in any small town, because everyone knows everyone, but not
because of any big difference in the character of the folks there.

On a different note--I worked for grounds department for the Vancouver
School board early to mid 80s and I remember a couple of the older guys
were certain that the house across the road from one of the westside
elementary schools was where Olsen's family lived (maybe didn't move
there until after his jailing or lived there before?) it wasn't a fancy
place but more like those houses in Kits that are older, typically have
basement suites, have been ripped down over the past few decades to make
room for monster houses.

Any body know if there's a shred of possible truth in that?

Mostly hippies, loggers and retirees, from what I remember (I stayed in
Pender Harbour for a year once). It's way more redneckish in the small
towns of the Kootenays.

I know what you mean. My parents left Powell River about four years ago
and we don't have as much reason to visit now, but my kids insist on a
trip once per summer. It's great up there then, but I remember finding
it pretty boring from October to April.

It would be great to be able to afford a summer place up there one day.

round..I have business associates up there..you probably know both of

normal and civilized that I've met...I've seen a lot of pretty
extravagant homes...obviously there is wealth up there....thats my
observation of the area....2 others here who actually did live there
have pretty much said the same.....I've never really heard of a lot of
crime on my visits there...my ex-wifes cousin lives in Roberts
Creek...he never mentioned bands of armed thugs running around his
neighbourhood....

....but maybe there is a band of bad-asses up there...maybe your the

..wait a minute!

...my wifes parents lived up there for many years..Keats Island and
then later Sechelt....He did mention there was a lot of "hippie
weirdos and draft dodging assoles" in Roberts Creek.Is that what your
reffering to?....though he never mentioned them as the sort who would
take up arms against anyone as you have.....now HE is a bad
mofo.....neighbour across the street in Sechelt couldn't be convinced
to trim his tree which was blocking his view of the ocean....he took
care of the matter with a jug of antifreeze and and a cordless drill
in the end...

...mind you he's orignally from the interior...where sometimes you
just take things into your own hands...

So, because a couple attempted/committed suicide, and there are some
people who drink and drive in Pender Harbour you think it's a place full
out violent, anti-social drunk-drivers? You can find those stories in
almost any town on the planet. The people in Pender Harbour probably
didn't much like paying for a rec centre that was going to be used by
people in bigger towns farther south, where it would likely be located
(Gibsons or Sechelt).

When I lived there my neighbours consisted of old folks, hippies, and
old hippies. With a few salty old boaters thrown in here and there.
There were a couple of people in Madiera Park that I would be a little
wary of, but for the most part I found the place to be very laid back,
and stunningly beautiful. I've never seen a prettier harbour.

And yet you think they're anti-social for not wanting to pay for your
rec centre.

I've sometimes thought people here are a bit hard on you, then I see
this. Ooh, you lived there ten months so you can belittle other
people's comments.

I have spent time there over a couple of decades and grew up on the
Sunshine Coast. I was hired 20 or so years ago to do a workshop by that
district in Pender Harbour school (and missed a Canucks-Jets playoff
game because of it) and I wouldn't be as rude as to dismiss someone's
observations of where I grew up as you are after your 10 months of
becoming an expert. You watched hockey for at least that long and you
still haven't grasped the finer aspects of it, I've noticed.

The school there was a very nice, modern facility with no bullet holes
in the walls as far as I could see.

Yuk Yuk indeed.

Sure - Olson has claimed at various times responsibility for 100
murders. And he was paid $100,000 per body. You can look it up.

Not really. You ripped this from a post by someone called "Sleuth" on
some serial killer-groupie website. It states that Olson knew the
Vancouver area.

So did Gary Ridgeway, or Ted Bundy, for that matter.

At the outset my point was pretty simple. It still is.

You are not a victim of Clifford Olson, yet you seem to be going out of
your way to show that you are. This includes 'making shit up'.

Your mentality is or can be dangerous, as it hurts real people in the
real world, as I've tried to show you, although I'm of course aware that
usenet postings have a way of distancing themselves from reality . . .

I think that your time might be better spent understanding why you do
this, or doing something else entirely. Like I'm about to do now . . .

Take care,

Eric

She never once stated or implied she was a victim of Clifford Olson - way
off base you are. Making stuff up - I think not.

Having met and living across the street from justme for 17 years, her
mentality is perfectly fine and never once has she or her beliefs hurt
anyone at all. In fact, she's raised 3 terrific children and lives a great
life. You Eric are plain wrong on this issue and it's scarier to me what
you are gleaming from her posts. She has met quite a few of the other ng's
here and while I don't want to drag them into this messy thread, she was
well liked and she isn't the creep you are trying to make her.

I used to enjoy your posts Eric, but these on this topic have been
incredibly mean spirited, it's beneath you.
