Crime Beat: Closure | S5 E19

In 1983, Susan Tice, a 45-year-old mother of four was found raped and stabbed to death in her Toronto home. Four months later, across town, 22-year-old Erin Gilmour returns home from work and is attacked the same way.
The women didn’t know each other, and both cases remained unsolved for decades. In 2000, DNA profiles from each crime proved their attacker was the same man - but didn’t reveal his identity.
It would take another 20 years, but thanks to genetic genealogy research, the killer was arrested, charged and convicted, bringing a measure of closure for the victims’ families.

    I'm literally in the process of trying to open up a forensics genetic genealogy lab in Onatrio because I had noticed SO many cases were being sent to Othram labs in Texas. An old prof of mine is an OPP detective and told us about how backed up the labs are & I could see the desperate need of these victims families. They deserve to at least know if their loved ones remains get found, and like you guys said - not 40 years later. That's not justice for these poor victims. Glad Othram is joining in the Canadian fight for victims 💪🏼

I especially enjoyed the family members sharing their special memories of 2 very loved, very missed women from the City of Toronto back in the 1980's. Proof that you can run, but you can never, ever hide forever. Great coverage Crime Beat!

Two rapes/murders and then he stops and builds a life for himself, becomes a better person. What happened?? It's just incredible to me. R.I.P. Susan Tice & Erin Gilmour XO

    I think it's pretty clear as to what his motive was. Power. Always power. It does seem like he was inside those homes before the women got there. Susan was writing in her journal in bed and stopped suddenly, and that is where she was found. The timeframe in Erin's case was very, very small considering all that he did to her. But even if he wasn't already inside, these were 2 single women living alone in rather close proximity to each other but who did not have any connection to each other whatsoever. Which means they could not have been randomly chosen. The perp could not just break into a random house and hope that the only person there was a woman. He would have had to KNOW who they were, that they'd be alone, and where they lived. He must have stalked them. Since Susan had been away all weekend, that means he would have had to stalk her before she had even left for the weekend and was waiting for her return. It would not surprise me if he had been inside Susan's house the whole weekend as he waited and maybe even after the murder because they said her house was a bit messier than normal, possibly ransacked. Surely he'd stolen a couple of things, but not enough that they'd call it a robbery. A robbery does not go wrong by way of rape and stabbing a woman in her bed, but taking a few things after is quite common. He was young and of indigenous descent living in Toronto, maybe for University as he was 22 at the time and they said he does have a degree. But if he was in Uni, that implies that he wasn't living on the streets and was less likely that he took hard drugs or drank to excess. Which also speaks of a young man in Uni who seemed to have this little secret desire. Or maybe there was a different trigger. We will probably never know that but we do know that he intended to commit these crimes and was well prepared for them. I am just glad he decided to stop and move as far away as he could get.

    I want to agree with you, but so many of these murderers live outwardly normal lives, have families, have fun, do everyday things with their loved ones. There has to be something more, but gods knows what it is. Susan's daughter said something that really leapt out of the screen: they weaponise parts of themselves. Chilling, frightening and horrific. The most weaponised part of themselves seems to be their brains.

    They let him plead second, that's like assaulting these two beautiful women all over. Given how they were attacked, raped and murdered by a complete stranger while in their home, he clearly committed first degree murders. Instead he got rewarded for getting away with it for 40 years, enjoying his life. I strongly doubt these were his only violent crimes. I think he just became the wiser in the mid eighties, when the first DNA cases in Britain became a celebrated topic worldwide. There had to be a reason his first questions were: Where did this happen? when did this happen? He tried to figure out which cases they worked on.

    No he won’t, it doesn’t work that way. There’s institutions within corrections Canada that houses people with mental health problems. They don’t release people sentenced to life because they’re not feeling well. He will only be released on parole when the parole board decides to release him but he was sentenced to life and must serve 21 years before parole eligibility, regardless he will be either in prison or on parole until he dies. Being on parole as lifer is not easy, if they don’t do exactly what is required they go back to prison. So that’s how it works.

    No chance for parole, for 21 years?! It's just playing with words to claim the sentence is very harsh. When you say no chance for parole, it means no, none. Not that the guy can apply for it after a certain time.

    In one of these "Crime Beat" videos, I heard that after a certain amount of time, coming up for parole was automatic. Can that be true? The families of murder victims were talking about how they never had the chance to heal because they spent six months preparing to combat a parole hearing and six months getting over it and then the next one would be coming up.

    I too share similar feelings as the daughter- this is a conflicting one. On the one hand it was worth of 20plus years which he got, however, the time span definitely affected his conscience and you can see it tormented him and the fact he lived so far definitely was some sort of isolation. I mean its most likely a death sentence right. That said, he accepted his punishment respectfully. Just a tragedy for all. Kudos to science, ill have to think twice about committing a crime once someone in my fam explores our genealogy lol.
