Five more Kamloops schools have seen recent COVID-19 exposures. New exposures include Arthur Stevenson elementary (Feb. 22 to Feb. 24, South Kamloops secondary (Feb. 22 to Feb. 24), Kay Bingham . . .
Const. Crystal Evelyn said a student was walking home when she noticed a man who appeared to be following her. She ran back to school and eventually lost sight of the person. The man is white, has a medium build and stamds about six feet tall. He had a grey beard to his chest and was wearing a red jacket and green-checkered cap. “This is a great example of a student who was alert, aware of her surroundings and did the right thing by going back to her school and finding a trusted adult to help,” Cpl. Dana Napier said, noting that while incidents of child abduction are rare, it never hurts to reinforce basic safety principals with kids in case they are approached.
The fact someone went to the effort to hand write five sexually explicit letters and send them to elementary schools suggests more could be coming, the lead investigator on the case said Monday. One letter would be unusual. But to hit five at one time is borderline bizarre. Somebody has put a fair amount of time into it, said RCMP Staff Sgt. Garry Kerr.
Criminal intelligence and forensic experts have examined the letters, which started turning up at schools on Wednesday. Kerr said the documents will be sent to an RCMP lab in Vancouver for DNA analysis.
The letters mailed to Parkcrest, Arthur Stevenson, Kay Bingham, Arthur Hatton and A.E. Perry elementary schools describe graphic sexual fantasies involving young girls.
