Bev Parent, 50, Dies In Fire - Was it Arson?

Mary Ann Williamson was relaxing at home just after midnight Wednesday
when her pet dog, Tuxedo, freaked out at her door, barking at some
unseen threat on the other side.
Williamson crouched down to take a peek through the mail slot, and,
seeing flickering flames, opened her door to find her next door
neighbour, Bev Parent, engulfed in fire.
"I looked into a funnel of fire down the hall and she was burning,"
Williamson recalled.
Her hair ablaze and face blackened with soot, Parent still wanted to
go back into her apartment to save her 59 cats, which ended up dying
from suffocation.
Investigators at press time considered the Bristol Estates fire, at
13328 105th Ave., to be "likely accidental" but had yet to identify
the cause.
Parent was rushed to Vancouver General Hospital's burn unit in
critical condition, having sustained burns over most of her body. She
later died of her injuries.
Her ground-floor apartment was completely destroyed in the fire.
Williamson, who lives across an outside hall from Parent's apartment,
called 911 and tried to help Parent as flames shot along the ceiling
to burn the wall above her own door.
"It's totally devastating," Williamson said of Parent's misfortune.
She described her as "one of the nicest people you could meet."
Williamson said Parent worked at a radio station and kept her
apartment clean, despite having so many cats. She said Parent
collected strays and would take them to the vet when need be.
Looking at a crisped ceramic cat in a pile of soot outside Parent's
front door, Williamson said of the animals, "I knew in my heart that
none of them got out."

The official story is that a faulty heater caught fire. However two
nights before the fire she moved her van 497-EBV from where she
parked it out front and moved it around the side.
In its place was a green van with an HA guy and a hooker wearing a red
sweater. Had seen her previously working the corner of 88th Ave. and
King George Hwy (good work by the RCMP in finally cleaning up that
stretch of King George Hwy...keep it up).
There has been an increase in HA activity in the neighbourhood and the
apartment of the building oppositte at 224-13325-105 Ave. that has had
gang ppl and HA supporters wearing t-shirts in it. This apartment is
directly across the street.
This building is bizarre in that it is the only one in Surrey divided
into cell blocks. A, B, C, D, E blocks. Just like in prisons. When I
first moved in the local miscreants across the way were pushing my
buzzer to annoy me and phoning me but when I contacted the manager
the female manager denied it. I then contacted the Vancouver head
office and the calls stopped. Aspec Security (red and white colour
scheme) was at the site next door but they have since been removed.
Theory: HA wants to increase its drug trafficking and prostitution
activities on the street. The prostitution has decreased to nil. This
is probably idle speculation on my part but it wouldn't be the first
time an arson fire wasn't initially recognized as such.
My apologies to the parent family if this information is wrong. I
never met the woman but some former neighbours of hers told me she was
quite a nice woman.
P.S. Who killed Colleen Ryder (sp?) HA that's who.

I don't see how her apartment could be clean when she had 59
cats living in it.

When I lived in DC, there was such a woman who let the nightly news into
her house. She had about 60 strays, and kept her house clean by tending
to them for eight hours a day, after work. The bags of litter and empty
food containers, that she had to drag out to a dumpster every night,
were enormous.
She just didn't have a life outside work and the cats.

Can you imagine, though, what the place smelled like when she got home from
work? 60 cats, even if caged, are going to stink up the litter
boxes.....and most won't cooperate and share.
We've had several recent cases of "cat hoarding", including one woman who's
been arrested nearly every other year. She rents a home, pays her rent on
time and by mail, never asks a thing of the landlord....until he starts
getting complaints from the neighbors, who can smell the cat urine when they
walk by. Animal Services comes in and finds many sick and ill-kept cats,
and she moves on. And repeats. And repeats. It's not a felony; she
just pays the fines. Apparently, it's linked to a mental illness.
