For many of us, we are highly fascinated with true crime stories. From podcasts to Netflix series, the genre of true crime continues to grow and can spur many important conversations around social justice inequities. However, it can also resurface trauma for victims and their loved ones who are impacted by these crimes.
Although we drive down the major roadways in Red Deer on a regular basis, we rarely ask how it was that these thoroughfares got their names. In our city, most are named after prominent residents and/or long time families.
CALGARY Six people are facing charges and RCMP recovered a substantial amount of suspected stolen property following an investigation that spanned several towns in central Alberta. The investigation began Feb. 18 when RCMP received a report of an attempted home invasion near downtown Innisfail about 120 kilometres north of Calgary. Two suspects were identified by police and officers went to a property in Red Deer County the next day to make arrests. One was arrested without incident and the second fled in a Ford F350, with two other occupants, police said in a release. A pursuit ensued, and efforts were made to deploy tire deflation devices, but they were not successful.
