DNA evidence links a now-dead American convict to the murder of a Canadian teenager who disappeared in 1974, authorities in British Columbia said Tuesday.
Bobby Jack Fowler, who
died in an Oregon prison in 2006, is responsible for the murder of
16-year-old Colleen MacMillen, Inspector Gary Shinkaruk of the Royal
Canadian Mounted Police said at a news conference.
Authorities said while
the case is closed on MacMillen's death, investigations continue into
the abductions and killings of other women in the same region of Canada,
and the search is still on for information in those cases.
