BARRIE, ONT. Barrie police have a man in custody more than 26 years after Katherine Janeiro was found dead in her basement apartment. Detectives said new information from the Homicide Unit one year ago led them to charge 58-year-old Robert Bruce MacQueen on Wednesday with Janeiro s murder. He was arrested yesterday morning without incident operating a motor vehicle in the south end of the City of Barrie, Peter Leon, Barrie Police Services spokesperson, told CTV News. I think he was surprised. As you can appreciate, 26 years had passed. That s a lot of looking over your shoulder, wondering if today is the day. Well, yesterday was the day, Leon said of the arrest.
