"Until You Are Dead" combs through hundreds of boxes
of police and prosecution records to unearth evidence that
the jurors of 1959 -- and later the Supreme Court justice
of 1966 -- never heard or saw.
Physical
evidence
The
bike and tire skid tracks
Why did the prosecution concentrate on bike tracks found on
the trail leading to the bush where Lynne's body was found
- tracks police officers admitted were made days before the
murder - but ignore fresh car tire skid marks?
What
Gord Logan could see
The prosecution claimed a boy who said he saw Steven and Lynne
cross the bridge was too far away to identify anyone. But
later police tests proved otherwise.
Oral
evidence
Lynne's
Hitchhiking
Lynne Harper's parents testified their daughter did not hitchhike.
But three separate police reports the night she disappeared
prove otherwise.
The
missing witness
The Crown kept hidden a crucial witness who said she saw Steve
and Lynne riding down the county road on the way to the highway.
Jocelyne
Gaudet
She was the most important child witness to testify against
Steven, but police notes reveal gaping holes in her story
The
other suspects
The
Kalichuk file
He had tried to lure a young girl into his car days before
Lynne Harper was murdered. Read the secret military files
on the air force sergeant classified as a "sexual pervert."
The
other men
Police and prosecution files reveal other leads never seriously
pursued
The
June 11 bulletin
On Thursday night, June 11, 1959, the OPP issued a bulletin
on Lynne's murder. See how the police viewed the case before
they zeroed in on Steven Truscott.
Doctoring
the evidence
The
lab report
The
pathologist's "agonizing reappraisal"
His testimony on time of death was central to convicting Steven
Truscott. But read the stunning reversal Dr. John Penistan
made in a 1966 article that was kept under wraps for decades
.
