There is at this time an inquiring going on in this province as to the long delay and trail of a serial killer Robert Picton. The  inquirery is  headed by a former Attorney General of the province Wally Oppal and has already flushed out  some disturbing items including a public relations officer that has said that she will testify on behalf of the victims and not her employer the RCMP. She has been quoted in the papers as saying that she was the victim of sexual harassment and that her superiors were more interested in drinking  and her then solving the crime.  The harassment part would make her a hostile witness to the events and it all seems a troubling affair.

A local fellow says he has a transcript of a trial of a local train robber from Kamloops shortly after the turn of the 20th century and it took two weeks to secure a 15 year conviction based on eye-witness ( credible) and  the possession of registered mail; must have been simpler times.

We think that a incrediable expense and waste of time is appearant and if there is an undisclosed benifit to the investigation it needs to be disclosed by statement from the  police and investgators. As this expense is now salt in a wound.
