Home New Witness The Investigation Sanctioned Killers Conclusion

Mindy Tran's witness stories   :

Randle Redl. This is an extremely suspicious death. The first person to report to the RCMP regarding a man carrying a suitcase on Aug/17th/94.   Mr. Redl may have been the most important witness in this case. He was found shot in the head at the same time that Shannon Murrin was being arrested. Mr. Redl likely would have identified the suspect as Shannon Murrin. The RCMP have classified this death as suicide. His associates claim that this is completely out of character, Redl was a well respected reputable person, a Real Estate agent, member of the J.C's, engaged soon to be married, no incidents of depression, no reason to commit suicide. Mr. Redl appears to have been instructed by the RCMP not to speak of what he had seen. At the time, very few people knew that Mr. Redl was about to be a witness in Mindy Tran's abduction, and no-one knew that the suspect he was about to identify was an RCMP agent who's handler was in charge of investigating the murder. There fore no motive was known at the time to indicate any thing other than suicide. Redll gave his statement directly to the lead investigator, Murrin's handler. The death of Randel Redl needs to be reinvestigated as murder! What did he see and where? What did he tell the Police and why was this statement never presented in court? Did he also report the  jeep following the suspect at the same time?
Deceased -Classified as Suicide 1995

Brett C: Murrin's former bank robbery partner and known associate during 1994. This man would have known intimate details of Shannon Murrin's past and present activities. His associates completely suspect foul play.
Deceased - Apparent Overdose 1997

Mr. Hunt: The person that Murrin visited at midnight Aug/17th 94 reported that Murrin was attempting to sell and transfer a station wagon into his name. Murrin wanted to predate the transfer sales form.
Deceased - This witness apparently died of a pre-existing medical problem, shortly afterwards. 

Alfred Nielsen: One of Murrin's main alibi witnesses.
Deceased 1997- RCMP Constable Severson testified in his place.

RCMP Const. Severson: Attempted suicide. 
see- story
 
 On April 7, 2000 Chuck Poulson editor of the Kelowna Courier wrote about the attempted suicide of Corporal Seversen. Seversen had left a note and later confessed to Staff Sergeant Callens that he had committed criminal acts for Tidsbury. Staff Sergeant Callens told Victoria Police, who had been commissioned to investigate allegations made by defense in their request for a public enquiry. Seversen was invited back to work when he recovered. The Victoria report was never made available to the public.
What actions did he perform and who benefited? 

Dave Ambrose
; A key witness from the night of Aug 17th/94. Secretly followed a suspect back to his destination, a location apparently unknown to or undisclosed by the RCMP.
Jan/8/99- Attacked during a home invasion and his life threatened by people claiming to be the RCMP.

RCMP Cpl. Colin Johnston: This person washed  the DNA from Mindy's clothes under orders from Sgt. Tidsbury.
Reported as attempted suicide- Information Supplied by member of the Crown.

Rob Holmes and Pat Dunn: Potentially two of the most important witnesses for the crown against Murrin. Lured by Sgt. Tidsbury into committing an assault on Murrin. 
Charged with assault- and called liars by Tidsbury.

Pat Roberts:
This person was charged with drug offences resulting from the drug investigation project endocrine. His lawyer asked for disclosure regarding the Tran investigation, suspect "B", and the home invasion at the Ambrose residence. 
This is what happened to Roberts afterwards.
see Paddy Roberts Story:

Mr. Roberts lawyer was later found dead of an apparent suicide and the charges against Roberts were stayed.
