More than six weeks after a link between a suspected serial killer from the U-S was drawn to BC's Highway of Tears murders, the search continues for new --solid-- evidence.
Since police revealed the name of that prime suspect in September, RCMP Staff Sergeant Wayne Clary says more than 300 tips have come in, "Unfortunately so far, relative to Bobby Jack Fowler, there's nothing definitively that will move the investigation forward."
Clary says investigators knew it would be difficult to find evidence involving murders recorded over the course of more than 30 years, "We were hoping we would get something we could bite into. They're trickling down and, never say never, and hopefully, we'll get what we need. As of now, nothing substantial."
The so-called Highway of Tears victims currently number 18.
Fowler, who died in a U-S prison, has been clearly linked to three victims. Colleen MacMillen, Pamela Darlington and Gale Weys were all young women who vanished from the Kamloops area in the early 1970's.
