Joe1orbit
Boy, it can sometimes be quite frustrating, to have to deal with e-mail &
Usenet replies, when I'm trying to get on a posting roll, but such is life. We
do the best we can, and I STILL intend to get in a bunch of new thread items
today.
BIG news out of Canada, where a convicted serial child rapist named Terry
Samuel Arnold, aged 37, who served 6 1/2 years in prison after being convicted
of raping four girls, aged 10, 11, 15 and 16, is now the PRIME suspect in at
least one young gal murder, and COULD in fact be a serial killer.
That NEW boogeyman technology that serial killers face, DNA detection and
matching advances, seem to be the PRIMARY reason for why Terry is now a
suspected serial killer. Terry WAS a suspect in an older murder, and now a
second murder, committed years later, is possibly linked to the older one.
Terry is ALREADY in prison for killing a 15 year old girl. Add the two OTHER
possible murders, and we would have a genuine serial killer, who targeted ONLY
young gals. He is ALREADY a confirmed serial rapist, and similarly, ALL of
Terry's victims were YOUNG gals, under age 20.
One of the 2 newly linked murders involves a 17 year old gal, her body found
less than a BLOCK from where Terry was LIVING at the time. FOOLISH tactical
move, to leave the harvestee to CLOSE by to where he lived. But in a different
way, Terry showed GOOD tactical skills, if in fact he is the killer, WASHING
the body of 17 year old Denise Lapierre, to try and get RID of all DNA.
DNA & forensic tests are currently being reviewed. And Terry has been
QUESTIONED by the pigs, on the other two murders. If he is smart, he will say
NOTHING. As I've always said, to TRY and DEFEND yourself agains PIGS who
presume you Guilty, is SUICIDAL. Nothing can be gained by Terry, in talking.
Just stay quiet and make your enemy prove it's DEMONIZATION case without any
AMMUNITION from you, Terry.
On the one murder conviction, Terry is already serving a Life prison
sentence, but DOES have parole eligibility in 25 years. This is an IMPORTANT
consideration. Even if PROMISED no prosecution would occur for the other 2
murders, Terry needs to NOT confess, since his already slim parole chances
would be DEVASTATED if he did admit to two more harvestings.
Stay Strong, Terry!
Take care, JOE

DNA test holds key
New suspect killed before
By PETER SMITH AND BOB HOLLIDAY-- Sun Media
Homicide detectives across Western Canada -- using the latest DNA technology --
think they may be closing the net on a serial-killer.
The Sun has learned a suspect in an unsolved Calgary murder now heads the list
of suspects in a notorious Winnipeg slaying that saw another man wrongly jailed
for four years.
And police in Calgary are awaiting results from cutting-edge DNA technology to
try to solve a 13-year-old murder.
Last week, Thomas Sophonow was cleared of any involvement in the 1981 murder of
16-year-old shop clerk Barbara Stoppel and Winnipeg police announced they had a
new suspect who presents no risk to the public at this time.
Sun sources have learned the new suspect is Terry Samuel Arnold, 37, who
Calgary police have publicly stated is a suspect in the 1987 murder of
17-year-old Denise Lapierre.
Arnold, a convicted serial rapist, is in a B.C. prison for murdering a
15-year-old girl in Penticton.
Calgary police announced in 1998 Arnold was a suspect in the Lapierre murder
after a cold-case squad reopened the case.
Winnipeg homicide detectives have visited Calgary at least once to interview
police and other witnesses in the search for for similarities in the deaths of
Stoppel and Lapierre.
Lapierre disappeared June 21, 1987, after storming out of her high-school grad
party after someone had broken a favourite piece of crystal.
Next day, police received an anonymous call about a naked body in an alley less
than a block from Lapierre's house -- and a block away from Arnold's home.
Her body had been washed in an attempt to erase DNA evidence.
"Arnold is a suspect and we have interviewed him in the Lapierre killing," said
Staff Sgt. George Rocks of Calgary's homicide unit.
City police are still awaiting results from Britain's most advanced forensic
experts at Scotland Yard, who are developing a certain branch of DNA analysis
which is thought will be vital in the case.
In the Winnipeg case, Stoppel was found strangled in a doughnut shop washroom
Dec. 23, 1981.
As in the Calgary homicide, Arnold lived close to the murder scene -- his
mother was a caretaker in an apartment block near the shop and he lived near
the victim's home.
But the Winnipeg investigation led to the arrest and charging of Sophonow.
In three trials, Sophonow had one hung jury, and was twice convicted of
second-degree murder, convictions which were overturned on appeal.
Arnold is serving a life sentence, with no chance of parole for 25 years, for
the 1991 slaying of 15-year old Christine Browne in Penticton.
Last October, he was convicted of first-degree murder in the Browne killing
after telling undercover Mounties he had beaten her head in with a rock when
she wouldn't have sex with him.
Arnold's serial rape convictions related to a 6 1/2-year prison sentence
imposed on him after he was convicted of sexual assault on four girls aged 10,
11, 15 and 16 years in Newfoundland.

New suspect killed before
Winnipeg police try to pin Stoppel slaying on possible serial killer serving
time in B.C.
DNA test holds key
By BOB HOLLIDAY-- Winnipeg Sun
A convicted rapist and killer heads the list of police suspects in the
unsolved 1981 murder of Barbara Stoppel.
A joint Winnipeg Sun-CKY TV News investigation reveals Winnipeg police now
believe a drifter, with roots in this city, is responsible for the attack on
Stoppel in a Goulet Street doughnut shop on Dec. 23, 1981. The killer strangled
the 16-year-old and left her for dead in a washroom.
The prime suspect, Terry Samuel Arnold, 38, is serving a life sentence with no
chance of parole for 25 years for the 1991 slaying of a 15-year-old girl in
Penticton, B.C.
SUSPECTED IN ANOTHER MURDER
Arnold is also the prime suspect in the death of another British Columbia teen
and one in Calgary.
In a strange twist of fate, Arnold is serving time at a Mission, B.C., prison
about 40 kilometres from the Burnaby home of Thomas Sophonow, who last week was
cleared of any involvement in Stoppel's death.
Sophonow was tried three times and was twice convicted of second-degree
murder. Both convictions were overturned on appeal. The first trial ended in a
hung jury.
Winnipeg deputy police chief Jim Thompson declined to comment on the Winnipeg
investigation.
"We are not in a position to discuss any aspect of the investigation, nor any
suspects," said Thompson.
Calgary police consider Arnold to be the prime suspect in the 1987 killing of
teenager Denise Lapierre, whose nude body was found a short distance from his
house. In March, 1997, Calgary police released Arnold's photo to the media in
an attempt to find witnesses.
Winnipeg homicide investigators have visited Calgary at least once to
interview police and other witnesses in a search for potential similarities in
the deaths of Stoppel and Lapierre. Arnold's name and photo have been
circulated in both
Lapierre was last seen on June 21, 1987, when she stormed out of her own high
school graduation party after someone broke a favourite piece of crystal
glassware. The next day, Calgary police received an anonymous call about a
naked body in a back lane less than a block from the Lapierre house -- and a
block away from Arnold's rented home.
In a June 1997 interview with Calgary Sun crime reporter Pete Smith, a Calgary
police investigator said the tip came from a phone booth near Arnold's home.
Lapierre's body had been washed in an attempt to erase the possibility of DNA
evidence.
"(The killer) may have learned from his earlier mistakes," Calgary homicide
investigator Sgt. George Rocks said in a 1997 interview with the Calgary Sun.
But detectives -- who concentrated their investigation on a convicted rapist
living next door to Lapierre -- originally dismissed Arnold as a suspect after
interviewing him.
Dismissed by investigators
Winnipeg detectives -- who interviewed Arnold early in the Stoppel
investigation -- also originally dismissed him as a probable suspect.
As in the case of the Calgary homicide, Arnold lived close to the Winnipeg
murder scene. His mother was a caretaker in an apartment block 1,000 metres
from the Ideal Doughnut shop where Stoppel was attacked.
Arnold also lived a short distance away from the Stoppel home.
Court records show Arnold had been released on bail just eight days prior to
the attack on Stoppel. He had been arrested about a month before for property
crimes.
Calgary police learned Arnold was a suspect in Lapierre's murder 11 years
after her 1987 death. That was after Arnold confessed he'd killed Christine
Marie Browne, a Kelowna, B.C., runaway, in 1991. Hunters discovered Browne's
body in the woods near Penticton.
In May 1997, Arnold told RCMP undercover officers he bashed Browne's head with
a rock after she refused to have sex with him. He became a suspect in Browne's
murder when an RCMP review of notes placed Arnold in the same pinball parlour
as the victim.
Sexual assault of young girls
Calgary police were notified when RCMP realized Arnold lived a block from
Lapierre's home.
The Mounties found Arnold in a New Brunswick prison, serving an 80-month
sentence for sexually assaulting girls aged 10, 11, 15 and 16.
Arnold pleaded guilty to manslaughter for Browne's death in September 1998,
but later changed his plea to not guilty. A jury later convicted him of the
first-degree murder of Browne.
