I lived in James Bay in 1955/56. There was a murder of a senior citizen on the block I lived on. He had gone downtown to get his pension cheque cashed and that evening someone murdered him by impaling his neck on a picked fence. He was not found until the morning. We kids came upon the site before they got things cleaned up. I remember a big puddle of blood someone was trying to scrub up.

I heard later that they thought the killer was one of the sailors who was temporarily docked in port.

Hi Eve.

Have you ever come across a 1963 book by F W Lindsay called “The BC Outlaws”? Unfortunately I lost my copy several years back but I did see a copy fairly recently belonging to my cousin. The book has several chapters on noted BC “bad guys”. Two stood out for me, the chapter on the McLean Gang, and the David Clark/Halden family case from Quesnel in the 1920’s. The latter is one of the creepiest “disappearance” cases I’ve come across, but I’ve never read about it anywhere else. If you know the Lindsay book and the case, I’m sure you agree: If you haven’t seen the book, it’s worth checking out! Cheers, Charles.

Yes, a terrible story! And one that I have been familiar with all my life. George Warwick is my dad. He actually owned the house at one point. Is this the complete story from your book or is this a shortened version?

Wow. What an awful story. It’s amazing how many grizzly stories are out there. At least the son grew up and had family. I hope everyone stayed sane. Maybe the concentration memories sent that poor man over the brink. Oh that poor wife…
