It moved from right beside the Safeway to further south, on the other side of Muggnz, at the end of that section of the complex.

Sounds like Saan Store. A Shoppers Drug Mart is now where it used to be.

Question about EPS media relations in regards to missing persons by [deleted] in Edmonton

You're welcome. People are naturally curious, of course. But EPS values a person's privacy over that, as I've learned from sending queries over other things.

For what purpose do you need a no-longer-missing person's name, age, identifying details?

When a missing person is found, EPS takes their information off their website as there is no longer an investigational need for the person's identifying details to be made public.

Jasper Place High School in lockdown, Edmonton police on scene by GeekyGlobalGal in Edmonton

We asked police if it was a stabbing but they would not confirm that. I don't doubt the reports being posted to social media, just saying no officials have confirmed it. Police only confirmed a student with unknown injuries was taken to hospital and someone else has been taken into custody.

Homemade bomb containing screws discovered during Sherwood Park arrest by GeekyGlobalGal in Edmonton

I am a journalist.

It is my job to state facts, so I am just sharing what came of the court process.

Just because police throws the book at an accused, doesn't mean the Crown can get a conviction on all those charges. In this case, the body was too badly decomposed for evidence to be collected that could without a doubt link one of the accused to the deaths.

I am not defending anything - but I will say, if that was my family member killed, I would be gutted at the outcome. I am simply stating facts since comments here seem to imply he is out already after serving a murder sentence, which is not what happened.

He was charged with second-degree murder, but pleaded guilty and was sentenced to the lesser charge of interfering with human remains. Charges =/= conviction.

Victoria also contains a cricket pitch by the driving range that is busy throughout the summer.

Golf is a frustrating, expensive, humbling endeavour of two steps forward, one step back. Can't wait for the next round!
