1
00:00:02,070 --> 00:00:04,617
When this happens to a police officer
2
00:00:04,619 --> 00:00:05,871
- on duty...
- Hello?
3
00:00:05,873 --> 00:00:08,608
... trying to protect our
communities, our country,
4
00:00:08,610 --> 00:00:10,209
it does strike a different chord.
5
00:00:10,211 --> 00:00:12,835
It's a reminder that
every time you go out...
6
00:00:12,837 --> 00:00:15,219
He's dead! There's a dead
policeman in the road!
7
00:00:15,221 --> 00:00:17,016
... you may not make it home that night.
8
00:00:17,018 --> 00:00:19,051
Constable Kowalczyk was 36,
9
00:00:19,053 --> 00:00:20,486
married, with 3 children.
10
00:00:20,488 --> 00:00:23,255
If an armed police officer is unable
11
00:00:23,257 --> 00:00:26,726
to protect themselves,
then everyone is at risk.
12
00:00:26,728 --> 00:00:29,362
The killer waited until he was
defenceless and murdered him
13
00:00:29,364 --> 00:00:31,197
in cold blood. So keep that in mind
14
00:00:31,199 --> 00:00:33,389
- and be careful out there.
- RCMP and city police
15
00:00:33,391 --> 00:00:35,468
began a massive search of the area.
16
00:00:35,470 --> 00:00:37,637
- What kind of car do you drive?
- It's a pickup.
17
00:00:37,639 --> 00:00:38,712
Colour?
18
00:00:38,714 --> 00:00:40,640
Police say this truck
was used by the killer.
19
00:00:40,642 --> 00:00:41,841
All clear, let's go!
20
00:00:41,843 --> 00:00:44,377
But this is gonna be as challenging
21
00:00:44,379 --> 00:00:46,467
an investigation as any of us
22
00:00:46,469 --> 00:00:48,258
have ever undertaken.
23
00:00:48,260 --> 00:00:50,716
I wanna know how much
my husband's life was worth.
24
00:00:50,718 --> 00:00:54,387
Gord Kowalczyk wearing
that uniform made him a target.
25
00:00:54,389 --> 00:00:56,121
I'm dealing with the
death of one of my own,
26
00:00:56,123 --> 00:00:57,871
do you understand?
27
00:00:57,873 --> 00:01:00,440
That's why he was shot: because
he was wearing that uniform.
28
00:01:06,923 --> 00:01:09,923
- Synced and corrected by Firefly -
- www.addic7ed.com -
29
00:01:20,947 --> 00:01:24,784
In this particular situation,
there was no question
30
00:01:24,786 --> 00:01:27,253
that I would be running
the investigation myself.
31
00:01:27,255 --> 00:01:29,155
No delegation on this one.
32
00:01:31,391 --> 00:01:33,759
- Every murder is serious, but this person
- _
33
00:01:33,761 --> 00:01:36,796
is a police officer murdered on duty,
34
00:01:36,798 --> 00:01:38,864
this is when you have to bring
35
00:01:38,866 --> 00:01:41,467
the maximum resources
36
00:01:41,469 --> 00:01:42,835
to the game.
37
00:01:45,439 --> 00:01:47,640
When I'd arrived at the murder scene,
38
00:01:47,642 --> 00:01:50,876
Special Constable Kowalczyk
is down, he's been shot.
39
00:01:52,981 --> 00:01:55,514
There was a chill that ran through me,
40
00:01:55,516 --> 00:01:58,117
and I suppose through all of
our people that were there.
41
00:01:59,853 --> 00:02:02,421
We all identify with that
42
00:02:02,423 --> 00:02:04,990
blue trouser and yellow stripe.
43
00:02:04,992 --> 00:02:06,892
We all wore it.
44
00:02:09,429 --> 00:02:11,430
He didn't go down without a fight.
45
00:02:11,432 --> 00:02:13,833
They're all from his .38.
46
00:02:13,835 --> 00:02:16,569
And look, that one bullet wasn't fired.
47
00:02:16,571 --> 00:02:18,571
You think he dropped it when he was
48
00:02:18,573 --> 00:02:20,940
- trying to reload?
- Yeah.
49
00:02:20,942 --> 00:02:23,042
Which means he got
off at least six shots.
50
00:02:23,044 --> 00:02:25,367
So where's his service weapon?
51
00:02:25,369 --> 00:02:28,203
If he was trying to reload,
it should be here somewhere.
52
00:02:30,083 --> 00:02:32,084
I bet the bastard took it with him.
53
00:02:32,086 --> 00:02:35,855
- See this glass here?
- Yeah.
54
00:02:35,857 --> 00:02:37,379
Fair guess the killer fired
55
00:02:37,381 --> 00:02:39,692
his first shot or two
from inside the vehicle,
56
00:02:39,694 --> 00:02:41,560
clipping the window,
57
00:02:41,562 --> 00:02:44,430
probably as Kowalczyk
was making his approach
58
00:02:44,432 --> 00:02:47,433
for the traffic stop.
59
00:02:47,435 --> 00:02:49,802
They exchanged fire.
60
00:02:49,804 --> 00:02:51,837
Kowalczyk went down.
61
00:02:56,176 --> 00:02:59,211
It seems apparent that the perpetrator
62
00:02:59,213 --> 00:03:01,480
exited the vehicle and,
63
00:03:01,482 --> 00:03:04,650
at very close range, fired one shot
64
00:03:04,652 --> 00:03:07,319
into his chest, near his heart,
65
00:03:07,321 --> 00:03:10,890
and the last shot into his head.
66
00:03:12,826 --> 00:03:14,960
It's a cold-blooded execution.
67
00:03:14,962 --> 00:03:17,897
He waited until Kowalczyk
was down and out of ammo,
68
00:03:17,899 --> 00:03:20,800
and then he came to finish him off.
69
00:03:20,802 --> 00:03:23,135
He's a sick son of a bitch.
70
00:03:23,137 --> 00:03:25,962
Tell the men to bag and catalogue
71
00:03:25,964 --> 00:03:27,999
everything they find no
matter how insignificant,
72
00:03:28,001 --> 00:03:31,243
even if they think it's
just roadside trash.
73
00:03:31,245 --> 00:03:35,214
And let's put out a province-wide
alert on that plate.
74
00:03:35,216 --> 00:03:37,149
I knew Kowalczyk.
75
00:03:37,151 --> 00:03:41,554
And I saw him a few weeks ago.
76
00:03:45,358 --> 00:03:48,394
Poor Kowalczyk was lying on the road
77
00:03:48,396 --> 00:03:50,896
brutally assassinated.
78
00:03:52,262 --> 00:03:55,067
I remember thinking,
79
00:03:55,069 --> 00:03:58,470
"Well, this could be me.
This could have been me".
80
00:04:00,373 --> 00:04:03,008
35-year-old Gordon Kowalczyk
81
00:04:03,010 --> 00:04:06,212
was a special constable
assigned to the Calgary Airport.
82
00:04:06,214 --> 00:04:08,647
Shortly after midnight, he
stopped the driver of a truck
83
00:04:08,649 --> 00:04:11,383
suspected of leaving this
gas station without paying.
84
00:04:11,385 --> 00:04:14,620
The officer was wounded
several times before a blast
85
00:04:14,622 --> 00:04:16,755
from a shotgun killed him.
86
00:04:19,790 --> 00:04:22,595
His service revolver was missing.
87
00:04:22,597 --> 00:04:25,631
Constable Kowalczyk was 36,
married, with 3 children.
88
00:04:25,633 --> 00:04:27,666
He'll be buried on Thursday,
89
00:04:27,668 --> 00:04:29,702
the first Calgary RMCP officer
90
00:04:29,704 --> 00:04:31,704
ever to be killed in the line of duty.
91
00:04:31,706 --> 00:04:34,129
We know that this is gonna be
92
00:04:34,131 --> 00:04:36,188
as challenging an investigation
93
00:04:36,190 --> 00:04:38,644
as any of us have ever undertaken.
94
00:04:38,646 --> 00:04:41,614
As you know, we recently lost
95
00:04:41,616 --> 00:04:43,782
Special Constable Gordon Kowalczyk.
96
00:04:46,319 --> 00:04:48,954
Everything we gleaned so
far suggests his murder
97
00:04:48,956 --> 00:04:52,373
was a random occurrence
related to a traffic stop
98
00:04:52,375 --> 00:04:54,108
he made shortly before his death.
99
00:04:55,153 --> 00:04:57,621
[We have a suspect
driving a black pick-up truck]
100
00:04:57,623 --> 00:04:59,500
[heading north on highway 2A.]
101
00:04:59,502 --> 00:05:00,799
[Didn't pay for gas.]
102
00:05:00,801 --> 00:05:02,768
You said a black pickup?
103
00:05:02,770 --> 00:05:05,838
I think I just passed
it. I'll check it out.
104
00:05:05,840 --> 00:05:08,540
Kowalczyk is on the road
going in the opposite direction.
105
00:05:08,542 --> 00:05:10,476
- Copy that.
- He decides, "Well,
106
00:05:10,478 --> 00:05:13,279
maybe it's worth checking that vehicle.
107
00:05:13,281 --> 00:05:15,214
Worst case scenario,
108
00:05:15,216 --> 00:05:18,884
it's somebody who's stolen
$20 worth of gasoline.
109
00:05:18,886 --> 00:05:23,255
Constable Kowalczyk radios
in a licence number.
110
00:05:23,257 --> 00:05:25,506
Just a routine check.
111
00:05:25,508 --> 00:05:27,975
But one stroke of bad luck,
and that's all it takes.
112
00:05:27,977 --> 00:05:30,529
A few minutes later,
113
00:05:30,531 --> 00:05:33,832
the fella who was working
at the airport came across
114
00:05:33,834 --> 00:05:37,002
a marked police car with
the dome light activated.
115
00:05:38,838 --> 00:05:41,941
He saw our member laying on the road.
116
00:05:53,253 --> 00:05:56,722
Hello? Is anyone there?
117
00:05:56,724 --> 00:05:59,625
He's dead! There's a dead
policeman in the road!
118
00:06:02,824 --> 00:06:06,416
In terms of physical
evidence, we've recovered
119
00:06:06,418 --> 00:06:10,202
three 12-gauge shotgun
shells from the crime scene.
120
00:06:10,204 --> 00:06:11,737
It's already been sent to ballistics.
121
00:06:11,739 --> 00:06:13,672
We've also recovered
122
00:06:13,674 --> 00:06:16,642
a black ball cap with a Q oil logo.
123
00:06:16,644 --> 00:06:18,677
It's being processed for hair samples.
124
00:06:18,679 --> 00:06:21,180
While we're waiting for the results,
125
00:06:21,182 --> 00:06:23,315
I want everybody working
on a list of crimes
126
00:06:23,317 --> 00:06:26,709
with a similar MO, especially
robberies with shoguns, okay?
127
00:06:26,711 --> 00:06:29,555
You should know that
we think Gordon unloaded
128
00:06:29,557 --> 00:06:32,257
his weapon during a
firefight with the suspect.
129
00:06:32,259 --> 00:06:34,393
The killer waited
until he was defenceless
130
00:06:34,395 --> 00:06:37,196
and murdered him in cold blood.
131
00:06:37,198 --> 00:06:40,933
So keep that in mind
and be careful out there.
132
00:06:40,935 --> 00:06:43,168
If an armed police officer
133
00:06:43,170 --> 00:06:47,072
trained in self-defence is
unable to protect themselves,
134
00:06:47,074 --> 00:06:50,042
then everyone is at risk.
135
00:06:50,044 --> 00:06:51,658
Not just the police,
136
00:06:51,660 --> 00:06:54,279
not just the clerk in his store,
137
00:06:54,281 --> 00:06:57,816
not the gas station attendant,
but everybody is at risk.
138
00:07:00,286 --> 00:07:02,541
Gordon Kowalczyk
was a special constable.
139
00:07:02,543 --> 00:07:05,290
The men and women who
worked with him spoke warmly
140
00:07:05,292 --> 00:07:07,216
about Constable Kowalczyk,
whom they described
141
00:07:07,218 --> 00:07:09,928
as a big man with an easygoing way.
142
00:07:09,930 --> 00:07:12,931
That's the way people in this
neighbourhood remember him as well.
143
00:07:12,933 --> 00:07:15,554
Oh, he was a very nice
person, just a good neighbour,
144
00:07:15,556 --> 00:07:17,354
you know. You could
borrow anything from him
145
00:07:17,356 --> 00:07:19,223
or go for help or whatever.
146
00:07:21,041 --> 00:07:24,743
Of course, every murder
is important, but when this happens
147
00:07:24,745 --> 00:07:27,613
to a police officer on
duty trying to protect
148
00:07:27,615 --> 00:07:30,816
our communities, our country,
149
00:07:30,818 --> 00:07:32,818
it does strike a different chord.
150
00:07:32,820 --> 00:07:34,768
It strikes home.
151
00:07:34,770 --> 00:07:38,490
We all realize that we're vulnerable.
152
00:07:38,492 --> 00:07:41,026
You can't help but reflect
153
00:07:41,028 --> 00:07:43,028
a little bit on your own death.
154
00:07:43,030 --> 00:07:44,930
You're ready?
155
00:07:44,932 --> 00:07:47,132
Not really.
156
00:07:47,134 --> 00:07:49,968
It is a special bond.
157
00:07:49,970 --> 00:07:52,438
We're brothers in law.
158
00:08:17,597 --> 00:08:19,765
Sylvia...
159
00:08:19,767 --> 00:08:23,435
I can't believe it.
160
00:08:23,437 --> 00:08:25,170
Here.
161
00:08:28,927 --> 00:08:32,119
For the next of kin,
you can't even begin to fathom
162
00:08:32,121 --> 00:08:33,967
the depth of emotions that they're
163
00:08:33,969 --> 00:08:36,281
going to be subjected to.
164
00:08:36,283 --> 00:08:39,451
I don't think I could
have faced the kids.
165
00:08:39,453 --> 00:08:42,654
You know, he had always
told me not worry,
166
00:08:42,656 --> 00:08:45,290
that he had the safest job at the RCMP.
167
00:08:45,292 --> 00:08:47,826
How could this happen?
168
00:08:47,828 --> 00:08:49,628
So far,
169
00:08:49,630 --> 00:08:52,464
it looks like a case of
wrong place, wrong time.
170
00:08:52,466 --> 00:08:55,734
Gordon pulled over
171
00:08:55,736 --> 00:08:58,337
a vehicle suspected of a minor gas theft
172
00:08:58,339 --> 00:09:01,140
and somehow, things
escalated from there.
173
00:09:01,142 --> 00:09:03,041
We're still trying to
piece things together.
174
00:09:03,043 --> 00:09:04,967
Can you think
175
00:09:04,969 --> 00:09:07,880
if Gordon had any enemies
176
00:09:07,882 --> 00:09:10,649
or any personal conflicts
that might be relevant?
177
00:09:10,651 --> 00:09:13,185
No. Nothing.
178
00:09:13,187 --> 00:09:15,621
Look, Gordon didn't go
looking for trouble, okay?
179
00:09:15,623 --> 00:09:17,656
- He was a good man!
- I know he was.
180
00:09:17,658 --> 00:09:20,559
I'm so sorry for your loss.
181
00:09:22,530 --> 00:09:24,730
Yeah, we'll show ourselves out.
182
00:09:29,435 --> 00:09:31,436
How much was the gas?
183
00:09:33,092 --> 00:09:35,550
Tell me.
184
00:09:35,552 --> 00:09:37,592
I want to know how much my
husband's life was worth.
185
00:09:39,879 --> 00:09:42,381
- Tell me!
- $20.
186
00:09:42,383 --> 00:09:43,649
$20?
187
00:09:46,619 --> 00:09:50,055
We will get justice for
your husband, Mrs. Kowalczyk.
188
00:09:50,057 --> 00:09:51,990
I promise you that.
189
00:09:55,361 --> 00:09:57,362
It doesn't make any sense.
190
00:09:57,364 --> 00:09:59,364
You don't kill someone
191
00:09:59,366 --> 00:10:02,634
over $20 worth of gas.
192
00:10:02,636 --> 00:10:05,871
There's got to be more to this.
193
00:10:05,873 --> 00:10:09,408
This is not gonna be a quick whodunit.
194
00:10:09,410 --> 00:10:11,410
You're chasing someone
who has killed a cop,
195
00:10:11,412 --> 00:10:13,612
and they may do it again.
196
00:10:15,381 --> 00:10:17,616
There was a tremendous
amount of pressure.
197
00:10:17,618 --> 00:10:20,896
The fear is that there might
be another murder.
198
00:10:20,898 --> 00:10:23,115
So you've got to make
sure that everybody is
199
00:10:23,117 --> 00:10:25,474
pulling hard and try
to get the message out
200
00:10:25,476 --> 00:10:27,927
to the media, to the world
that this is not over yet.
201
00:10:27,929 --> 00:10:29,852
Police are on the lookout
202
00:10:29,854 --> 00:10:32,577
for a black pickup truck
with a missing side window
203
00:10:32,579 --> 00:10:34,602
in connection with the tragic shooting
204
00:10:34,604 --> 00:10:36,861
of RCMP Officer Gordon Kowalczyk.
205
00:10:36,863 --> 00:10:39,553
The driver of the truck is
considered armed and dangerous.
206
00:10:39,555 --> 00:10:42,977
You don't just jump from petty crimes
207
00:10:42,979 --> 00:10:44,766
to the execution
208
00:10:44,768 --> 00:10:47,431
of an armed policeman
like this. We would
209
00:10:47,433 --> 00:10:49,414
obviously be looking for a real
210
00:10:49,416 --> 00:10:51,650
hardened, tough criminal
211
00:10:51,652 --> 00:10:53,919
with no sense of remorse of course.
212
00:10:55,788 --> 00:10:57,889
Sergeant!
213
00:10:59,392 --> 00:11:01,461
Airport detachment just faxed through
214
00:11:01,463 --> 00:11:03,129
the registration info on that plate.
215
00:11:06,766 --> 00:11:09,534
The plate that Kowalczyk
called in before the murder,
216
00:11:09,536 --> 00:11:13,305
- it belongs to a police officer.
- Get him in for questioning.
217
00:11:13,307 --> 00:11:15,774
I did not expect
218
00:11:15,776 --> 00:11:20,245
that our prime suspect would be a cop.
219
00:11:24,888 --> 00:11:28,090
We have a licence plate that
Constable Kowalczyk had called in.
220
00:11:30,121 --> 00:11:33,213
The plate Kowalczyk called
in before the murder belongs
221
00:11:33,215 --> 00:11:35,916
- to a Calgary police officer.
- Get him in for questioning.
222
00:11:35,918 --> 00:11:38,185
We did hope of course
that the licence plate
223
00:11:38,187 --> 00:11:41,021
would be one really solid lead.
224
00:11:44,058 --> 00:11:46,513
When I found out that it was registered
225
00:11:46,515 --> 00:11:48,729
to a Calgary city policeman...
226
00:11:48,731 --> 00:11:50,831
it was of course shocking.
227
00:12:02,343 --> 00:12:04,244
Do you know why you're here?
228
00:12:04,246 --> 00:12:06,146
Not really.
229
00:12:06,148 --> 00:12:09,149
My CO told me I had
to get over here ASAP.
230
00:12:09,151 --> 00:12:12,486
Something to do with
the Kowalczyk murder.
231
00:12:12,488 --> 00:12:14,454
What kind of car do you drive?
232
00:12:14,456 --> 00:12:16,456
- It's a pickup.
- Colour?
233
00:12:16,458 --> 00:12:19,626
- It's light brown.
- What's the licence plate number?
234
00:12:19,628 --> 00:12:21,895
BLC 456. Why?
235
00:12:21,897 --> 00:12:23,730
Why?
236
00:12:23,732 --> 00:12:26,033
Because that was the plate
number Constable Kowalczyk
237
00:12:26,035 --> 00:12:28,502
called in last night
before he was killed.
238
00:12:34,976 --> 00:12:37,911
Uh...
239
00:12:37,913 --> 00:12:39,780
I... I don't...
240
00:12:39,782 --> 00:12:42,849
Look, I... I don't
know what to tell you.
241
00:12:42,851 --> 00:12:45,652
I was on patrol when that happened.
242
00:12:45,654 --> 00:12:47,588
My partner can confirm that.
243
00:12:52,994 --> 00:12:55,095
Does anyone else have
access to your truck?
244
00:12:55,097 --> 00:12:58,131
Only my wife.
245
00:12:58,133 --> 00:12:59,433
Might he, could he
246
00:12:59,435 --> 00:13:02,536
have been involved? It's possible,
247
00:13:02,538 --> 00:13:05,405
but he had a pretty good
alibi because he was working
248
00:13:05,407 --> 00:13:08,342
with another Calgary city
police officer at the time.
249
00:13:08,344 --> 00:13:10,944
Okay, honey, this is important.
250
00:13:10,946 --> 00:13:13,246
Do you remember seeing
anyone outside the house?
251
00:13:17,318 --> 00:13:19,953
Okay. Yeah.
252
00:13:19,955 --> 00:13:23,457
Thanks. Me too. I'll be home soon.
253
00:13:25,460 --> 00:13:28,362
She checked.
254
00:13:28,364 --> 00:13:30,263
Both plates are missing.
255
00:13:30,265 --> 00:13:32,265
Someone must have taken them
in the last couple of days.
256
00:13:32,267 --> 00:13:34,534
That's the last time
either of us drove it.
257
00:13:36,237 --> 00:13:37,337
Okay.
258
00:13:39,173 --> 00:13:42,075
His licence plate had been stolen.
259
00:13:42,077 --> 00:13:44,077
You don't steal someone's
260
00:13:44,079 --> 00:13:45,879
licence plates, so you could steal
261
00:13:45,881 --> 00:13:47,848
19 dollars and 56 cents' worth
262
00:13:47,850 --> 00:13:50,917
of gasoline. Doesn't add up.
263
00:13:50,919 --> 00:13:53,687
Constable Kowalczyk was killed
doing a routine vehicle check
264
00:13:53,689 --> 00:13:56,490
for theft of gasoline,
not a serious crime.
265
00:13:56,492 --> 00:13:59,326
But killing a police officer
is as serious as it gets.
266
00:13:59,328 --> 00:14:03,096
RCMP and city police began
a massive search of the area
267
00:14:03,098 --> 00:14:05,432
and set up roadblocks around the city.
268
00:14:05,434 --> 00:14:08,258
This afternoon, police
found the truck involved
269
00:14:08,260 --> 00:14:12,172
at this shopping mall. The stolen
vehicle had bullet holes in it
270
00:14:12,174 --> 00:14:15,142
indicating that there was
an exchange of gunfire
271
00:14:15,144 --> 00:14:16,900
before the officer died.
272
00:14:16,902 --> 00:14:19,046
Police say this truck
was used by the killer.
273
00:14:19,048 --> 00:14:22,749
At least four bullet holes
indicate that the RCMP constable
274
00:14:22,751 --> 00:14:24,907
did not die without a fight.
275
00:14:24,909 --> 00:14:27,825
Today, police concentrated their
search on this shopping mall
276
00:14:27,827 --> 00:14:29,960
where the stolen truck was later found.
277
00:14:39,967 --> 00:14:41,935
When we've got the truck,
278
00:14:41,937 --> 00:14:43,904
now we've got a big piece of the puzzle.
279
00:14:43,906 --> 00:14:46,106
We can start to put it
together a little better.
280
00:14:54,649 --> 00:14:56,550
Plate matches.
281
00:15:00,421 --> 00:15:03,724
The fact that the
perpetrators took the time
282
00:15:03,726 --> 00:15:06,460
to locate a vehicle similar to the one
283
00:15:06,462 --> 00:15:08,462
that they were operating and to steal
284
00:15:08,464 --> 00:15:11,098
a licence plate from
that showed planning
285
00:15:11,100 --> 00:15:13,100
and premeditation.
286
00:15:13,102 --> 00:15:16,837
Look at this. Bullet holes.
287
00:15:16,839 --> 00:15:19,700
Window's smashed.
288
00:15:19,702 --> 00:15:22,436
Looks like we were right
about him firing from inside.
289
00:15:24,245 --> 00:15:27,767
We didn't find any blood
inside the vehicle,
290
00:15:27,769 --> 00:15:30,383
and we have no reason to
believe that any bullets
291
00:15:30,385 --> 00:15:32,252
actually penetrated into the truck.
292
00:15:33,488 --> 00:15:37,491
So the perpetrator is alive, uninjured.
293
00:15:37,493 --> 00:15:39,426
They were out there somewhere.
294
00:15:41,863 --> 00:15:43,822
Well, look at that.
295
00:15:43,824 --> 00:15:47,868
It was a 12-gauge shotgun, the
same as at the murder scene.
296
00:15:47,870 --> 00:15:51,171
Those shotgun shells
were a big break for us.
297
00:15:53,708 --> 00:15:56,276
Normally, a shotgun casing doesn't
298
00:15:56,278 --> 00:15:59,613
give us that much, but in
this particular case, it did.
299
00:16:00,916 --> 00:16:03,884
Sir, I've got some good
news from ballistics.
300
00:16:03,886 --> 00:16:05,585
What's that?
301
00:16:05,587 --> 00:16:07,521
The scoring pattern, it's distinctive
302
00:16:07,523 --> 00:16:09,489
and deeply etched on all the shells.
303
00:16:09,491 --> 00:16:11,391
So the shells will match the weapon.
304
00:16:11,393 --> 00:16:14,294
And these patterns are obvious
enough that a layperson can make
305
00:16:14,296 --> 00:16:16,196
a match. There's no ambiguity here.
306
00:16:16,198 --> 00:16:18,598
Even better, the gun that fired them
307
00:16:18,600 --> 00:16:20,433
is pretty rare.
308
00:16:20,435 --> 00:16:22,469
What do you mean? It's a vintage weapon?
309
00:16:22,471 --> 00:16:25,305
- Specialized hunting rifle? What?
- No. Quite the opposite.
310
00:16:25,307 --> 00:16:27,641
It's a Defender, short-barreled,
311
00:16:27,643 --> 00:16:30,777
designed to inflict maximum
damage at a close range.
312
00:16:32,380 --> 00:16:35,354
It's a gangster's gun.
313
00:16:35,356 --> 00:16:38,351
When we realize it's a
Defender, that just kind of adds
314
00:16:38,353 --> 00:16:40,987
to that whole...
315
00:16:40,989 --> 00:16:43,657
scenario or suspicion
that we're dealing with
316
00:16:43,659 --> 00:16:45,892
probably a hardened criminal.
317
00:16:47,273 --> 00:16:49,263
This is not someone
318
00:16:49,265 --> 00:16:52,599
who is a duck hunter
that just used this gun.
319
00:16:52,601 --> 00:16:55,735
People looking for
trouble buy Defenders.
320
00:16:55,737 --> 00:16:58,271
Its only purpose is to kill people.
321
00:16:58,273 --> 00:17:00,841
The perpetrators had
322
00:17:00,843 --> 00:17:03,877
got rid of the licence plates,
they wiped the vehicle down;
323
00:17:03,879 --> 00:17:06,913
that to me strikes or smacks of
324
00:17:06,915 --> 00:17:08,815
an organized criminal.
325
00:17:11,285 --> 00:17:13,687
That's a biker's gun.
326
00:17:13,689 --> 00:17:15,589
A biker is capable
327
00:17:15,591 --> 00:17:17,724
of an extreme level of violence.
328
00:17:20,262 --> 00:17:22,996
Could it have been a biker or bikers?
329
00:17:22,998 --> 00:17:25,232
Maybe they were couriering
drugs somewhere,
330
00:17:25,234 --> 00:17:28,568
got stopped and chose
to fight their way out.
331
00:17:36,611 --> 00:17:39,813
At that time in Alberta, in Calgary,
332
00:17:39,815 --> 00:17:42,983
the biker scene was growing
and vibrant and violent.
333
00:17:49,290 --> 00:17:51,791
But they don't like to
get the extra pressure,
334
00:17:51,793 --> 00:17:54,294
the extra attention. They
already get lots of attention;
335
00:17:54,296 --> 00:17:55,962
we're gonna give them more.
336
00:18:08,209 --> 00:18:10,210
Like I said, I got nothing to tell you.
337
00:18:10,212 --> 00:18:11,645
No?
338
00:18:11,647 --> 00:18:13,980
Because I'm thinking
maybe one of your probies
339
00:18:13,982 --> 00:18:16,416
thought he could make his
bones by killing a cop.
340
00:18:18,453 --> 00:18:20,553
Nobody's that stupid in my club.
341
00:18:20,555 --> 00:18:24,257
You sure? The cop was killed
with a short-barrelled shotgun.
342
00:18:26,494 --> 00:18:29,741
You listen to me. I'm dealing
with the death of one of my own,
343
00:18:29,743 --> 00:18:32,666
- do you understand?
- Honestly, I don't know.
344
00:18:32,668 --> 00:18:35,969
If I did, I might tell you.
345
00:18:35,971 --> 00:18:38,538
Do you really think I want
to protect a cop killer?
346
00:18:40,408 --> 00:18:43,076
Well, you better start asking around.
347
00:18:43,078 --> 00:18:46,646
Rebels, Reapers, unaffiliated scumbags;
348
00:18:46,648 --> 00:18:48,782
if you hear of anyone...
349
00:18:48,784 --> 00:18:51,017
anyone getting trigger
happy with a shotgun,
350
00:18:51,019 --> 00:18:52,919
I wanna know about it.
351
00:18:57,959 --> 00:19:00,727
Have a good night.
352
00:19:00,729 --> 00:19:03,096
We've got a pretty good idea
353
00:19:03,098 --> 00:19:05,548
where most of these people live;
354
00:19:05,550 --> 00:19:07,634
we know where their clubhouses are at.
355
00:19:07,636 --> 00:19:09,636
So we may tend to do
356
00:19:09,638 --> 00:19:11,705
more checks of vehicles,
357
00:19:11,707 --> 00:19:14,541
search their bike a little more carefully
358
00:19:14,543 --> 00:19:16,886
looking for prohibited weapons
359
00:19:16,888 --> 00:19:19,878
or substances. We set
up surveillance on them.
360
00:19:19,880 --> 00:19:22,182
We're making them uncomfortable.
361
00:19:22,184 --> 00:19:24,551
We're turning up the heat.
362
00:19:24,553 --> 00:19:26,586
Sergeant Peters, sir.
363
00:19:26,588 --> 00:19:28,521
We just got a call from Calgary PD
364
00:19:28,523 --> 00:19:30,490
about a case they're
working. It involves
365
00:19:30,492 --> 00:19:32,492
a pair of felons who
escaped custody and they used
366
00:19:32,494 --> 00:19:35,362
shotguns to commit an armed robbery.
367
00:19:35,364 --> 00:19:38,198
They've escaped lawful custody;
they commit an armed robbery
368
00:19:38,200 --> 00:19:40,200
and a charge of attempted murder.
369
00:19:40,202 --> 00:19:42,068
We need to find them.
370
00:19:46,932 --> 00:19:49,467
When I found out
371
00:19:49,469 --> 00:19:51,502
that there was a shotgun robbery...
372
00:19:51,504 --> 00:19:53,271
We just got a call from Calgary PD
373
00:19:53,273 --> 00:19:55,173
about a case they're
working. It involves
374
00:19:55,175 --> 00:19:57,555
a pair of felons who escaped
custody and they used shotguns.
375
00:19:57,557 --> 00:19:59,944
These were striking similarities
376
00:19:59,946 --> 00:20:02,046
to our crime.
377
00:20:02,048 --> 00:20:04,840
Oresto Panacui and Jean Guy Dipietro
378
00:20:04,842 --> 00:20:07,818
were considered dangerous.
The two men had been at large
379
00:20:07,820 --> 00:20:10,755
for six months. They escaped
from the Remand Centre
380
00:20:10,757 --> 00:20:13,858
last summer smashing a
window and crawling down
381
00:20:13,860 --> 00:20:15,860
- these knotted bedsheets.
- I'm telling you,
382
00:20:15,862 --> 00:20:18,396
the timing, the MO; it all matches up.
383
00:20:20,032 --> 00:20:23,245
Jean Guy Dipietro, between 1985
384
00:20:23,247 --> 00:20:26,470
and 1986, he robbed 4
different banks at gunpoint.
385
00:20:26,472 --> 00:20:29,574
He was arrested and
held until he escaped
386
00:20:29,576 --> 00:20:33,104
7 weeks later with another
inmate, Oresto Panacui.
387
00:20:33,106 --> 00:20:34,812
Panacui was awaiting trial
388
00:20:34,814 --> 00:20:37,348
on a charge of kidnapping
a 12-year-old Calgary boy.
389
00:20:37,350 --> 00:20:39,624
They also matched the
descriptions of two men
390
00:20:39,626 --> 00:20:42,320
involved in two recent
Royal Bank heists.
391
00:20:42,322 --> 00:20:44,609
And then just a few weeks
before Kowalczyk's murder,
392
00:20:44,611 --> 00:20:46,924
they robbed a Brinks' truck.
They carried shotguns
393
00:20:46,926 --> 00:20:49,129
and they opened fire on all the guards
394
00:20:49,131 --> 00:20:50,861
before they even had
a chance to surrender.
395
00:20:50,863 --> 00:20:53,064
Police want them now for questioning
396
00:20:53,066 --> 00:20:55,499
in connection with two
Brinks holdups in the city
397
00:20:55,501 --> 00:20:58,002
in which a Brinks
guard, Wilford Rollman,
398
00:20:58,004 --> 00:21:00,494
- was critically wounded.
- What happened to the guards?
399
00:21:00,496 --> 00:21:02,440
- They survived?
- Barely.
400
00:21:02,442 --> 00:21:05,042
But they took a sidearm
off one of the guards
401
00:21:05,044 --> 00:21:06,559
just like Kowalczyk's.
402
00:21:06,561 --> 00:21:08,980
They shot that Brinks
guard at close range
403
00:21:08,982 --> 00:21:10,781
with a 12-gauge shotgun.
404
00:21:12,718 --> 00:21:14,752
These are two really bad guys.
405
00:21:14,754 --> 00:21:17,421
Does Calgary PD have any idea
where they might be right now?
406
00:21:17,423 --> 00:21:20,191
No, but they don't have
the resources we have.
407
00:21:20,193 --> 00:21:21,825
But I'm telling you we're going to focus
408
00:21:21,827 --> 00:21:23,794
all our resources on finding these two.
409
00:21:23,796 --> 00:21:27,098
These two fellas had
extensive criminal records,
410
00:21:27,100 --> 00:21:29,100
and they were unlawfully at large,
411
00:21:29,102 --> 00:21:31,902
so if they're recognized
412
00:21:31,904 --> 00:21:35,473
and stopped by Special Constable
Kowalczyk at night
413
00:21:35,475 --> 00:21:38,042
and on a lonely road...
414
00:21:38,044 --> 00:21:41,561
there's a very real chance that there
would be a violent confrontation.
415
00:21:49,788 --> 00:21:52,957
Dipietro and Panacui
were very violent men.
416
00:21:52,959 --> 00:21:54,959
Everybody, gather around.
417
00:21:54,961 --> 00:21:57,551
You've got to rally the troops
and get the message out
418
00:21:57,553 --> 00:21:59,655
to everybody that this is not over yet.
419
00:21:59,657 --> 00:22:01,599
Keep looking. Keep digging.
420
00:22:01,601 --> 00:22:04,969
Let's find them.
421
00:22:04,971 --> 00:22:07,738
We did learn through
confidential sources
422
00:22:07,740 --> 00:22:10,834
that they had spent some
time in northeast Calgary,
423
00:22:10,836 --> 00:22:12,943
which would put them
in very close proximity
424
00:22:12,945 --> 00:22:14,945
both of where murder occurred
and where the vehicle
425
00:22:14,947 --> 00:22:17,281
was dropped off. The only way
426
00:22:17,283 --> 00:22:19,417
to confirm it would
be to send in a team,
427
00:22:19,419 --> 00:22:21,819
look for them, and that's
exactly what we did.
428
00:22:24,686 --> 00:22:26,957
They may have had a camp
429
00:22:26,959 --> 00:22:28,959
in the foothills of the Rockies.
430
00:22:28,961 --> 00:22:31,629
Yeah, it'd be a great place to
hide out, there's lots of cover.
431
00:22:33,732 --> 00:22:35,766
We believe it's possible that they had
432
00:22:35,768 --> 00:22:38,803
been there at some point in
time, but there was no sign
433
00:22:38,805 --> 00:22:41,539
that they were there now or recently.
434
00:22:41,541 --> 00:22:44,108
Jean Guy Dipietro and Oresto Panacui...
435
00:22:44,110 --> 00:22:46,110
Beginning of a crime spree in Calgary.
436
00:22:46,112 --> 00:22:47,812
It's hard for someone to understand
437
00:22:47,814 --> 00:22:50,129
the amount of pressure. The fear is that
438
00:22:50,131 --> 00:22:51,849
is this the beginning
439
00:22:51,851 --> 00:22:53,884
of a murder spree? Who knows?
440
00:22:53,886 --> 00:22:56,053
Have you seen this?
441
00:22:56,055 --> 00:22:58,222
We made it to the front page.
442
00:22:58,224 --> 00:23:00,676
"Dipietro and Panacui still at large.
443
00:23:00,678 --> 00:23:03,082
Will the RCMP stop them
before they kill again?"
444
00:23:03,084 --> 00:23:05,447
It's not enough our higher-ups
are breathing down our necks,
445
00:23:05,449 --> 00:23:06,897
now the newspapers are weighing in.
446
00:23:06,899 --> 00:23:10,267
Look at this. "When are
they gonna arrest Panacui?
447
00:23:11,837 --> 00:23:14,305
Did Kowalczyk ever arrest Dipietro,
448
00:23:14,307 --> 00:23:15,973
and what are they doing to find Panacui
449
00:23:15,975 --> 00:23:17,575
- and Dipietro?"
- They're relentless.
450
00:23:17,577 --> 00:23:21,359
It's just distractions.
We gotta stay focused.
451
00:23:21,361 --> 00:23:23,262
One would naturally be concerned
452
00:23:23,264 --> 00:23:26,016
that we're not making
the headway we should,
453
00:23:26,018 --> 00:23:29,490
but if you get impatient,
you're gonna make a mistake,
454
00:23:29,492 --> 00:23:31,622
you're gonna miss something,
455
00:23:31,624 --> 00:23:34,058
and you're not gonna solve it.
456
00:23:34,060 --> 00:23:35,958
The flags are flying at half-mast
457
00:23:35,960 --> 00:23:38,662
at RCMP headquarters
expressing the shock
458
00:23:38,664 --> 00:23:41,198
and sadness of the dead
man's fellow officers.
459
00:23:41,200 --> 00:23:43,968
Several hundred police officers
from across Canada
460
00:23:43,970 --> 00:23:45,536
and the United States came to Calgary
461
00:23:45,538 --> 00:23:48,172
to pay their last respects
to a fallen comrade.
462
00:23:48,174 --> 00:23:52,109
When you see the row and row and row
463
00:23:52,111 --> 00:23:56,247
of police officers all
dressed in uniform...
464
00:24:04,089 --> 00:24:06,223
Constable Kowalczyk, married,
465
00:24:06,225 --> 00:24:07,347
with three young children,
466
00:24:07,349 --> 00:24:09,551
took a last salute from
his friends and colleagues.
467
00:24:12,130 --> 00:24:13,998
Gord Kowalczyk's children...
468
00:24:17,302 --> 00:24:20,104
... their dad is... should be to them
469
00:24:20,106 --> 00:24:23,073
and... and is a hero.
470
00:24:31,750 --> 00:24:34,084
Inside the church where
Constable Kowalczyk
471
00:24:34,086 --> 00:24:36,800
was baptized and married,
his parish priest
472
00:24:36,802 --> 00:24:38,942
described the death as
"senseless destruction".
473
00:24:40,169 --> 00:24:43,838
RCMP and Calgary police are
still trying to find his killer.
474
00:24:49,634 --> 00:24:51,635
I've been looking all over for you;
475
00:24:51,637 --> 00:24:53,637
what are you doing out here?
476
00:24:53,639 --> 00:24:55,940
I just needed a minute to myself.
477
00:24:55,942 --> 00:24:57,942
Just got a call asking for an update
478
00:24:57,944 --> 00:25:00,511
on Dipietro and Panacui.
It's every day now.
479
00:25:03,915 --> 00:25:06,684
Well, in that case, I've got good news.
480
00:25:06,686 --> 00:25:09,053
We heard from our team in Vancouver.
481
00:25:09,055 --> 00:25:11,355
They've been running
surveillance on a strip club
482
00:25:11,357 --> 00:25:13,791
that Dipietro and Panacui
used to hang out at.
483
00:25:13,793 --> 00:25:15,961
One of the girls mentioned taking a trip
484
00:25:15,963 --> 00:25:18,118
to see Dipietro.
485
00:25:18,120 --> 00:25:20,020
Sounds like she knows
where they're hiding.
486
00:25:22,133 --> 00:25:24,301
Well, I guess I better go pack a bag.
487
00:25:35,384 --> 00:25:36,951
We heard from our team in Vancouver.
488
00:25:36,953 --> 00:25:39,076
They've been running
surveillance on a strip club
489
00:25:39,078 --> 00:25:41,211
that Dipietro and Panacui
used to hang out at.
490
00:25:41,213 --> 00:25:43,537
We were able to come across a stripper
491
00:25:43,539 --> 00:25:46,607
that Dipietro and Panacui befriended.
492
00:25:46,609 --> 00:25:49,109
She seemed to know where
they were headed for.
493
00:25:56,284 --> 00:25:58,018
Bethany?
494
00:25:58,020 --> 00:25:59,786
The bartender said you
wanted to talk to me?
495
00:25:59,788 --> 00:26:02,798
Yeah, I'm Sergeant Peters with the RCMP.
496
00:26:02,800 --> 00:26:05,901
I wanna ask you a few questions
497
00:26:05,903 --> 00:26:09,124
about Jean Guy Dipietro
and Oresto Panacui.
498
00:26:09,126 --> 00:26:11,559
Well, we get a lot of guys
come through here, you know.
499
00:26:13,576 --> 00:26:15,614
Okay, Miss Vale,
500
00:26:15,616 --> 00:26:19,281
it's gonna be best if
you're straight with me.
501
00:26:19,283 --> 00:26:21,451
Right now, we're having
an informal conversation,
502
00:26:21,453 --> 00:26:23,218
and I'd prefer to keep it that way.
503
00:26:23,220 --> 00:26:25,921
I know that you've been
in contact with Jean Guy.
504
00:26:25,923 --> 00:26:28,557
If you prefer not to cooperate,
then I can charge you
505
00:26:28,559 --> 00:26:30,492
with aiding and abetting a fugitive.
506
00:26:30,494 --> 00:26:33,128
Is that what you want, Bethany?
507
00:26:33,130 --> 00:26:35,898
Lots of criminals find the necessity
508
00:26:35,900 --> 00:26:39,044
to brag about their past exploits.
509
00:26:39,046 --> 00:26:40,969
If they just learned to
510
00:26:40,971 --> 00:26:43,839
talk less, we'd probably have a
more difficult time finding 'em.
511
00:26:43,841 --> 00:26:46,141
They've hurt a lot of people.
512
00:26:48,278 --> 00:26:50,813
Jean Guy said they were going to Mexico
513
00:26:50,815 --> 00:26:52,548
to lay low.
514
00:26:52,550 --> 00:26:54,983
He promised to call
when they found a place.
515
00:26:54,985 --> 00:26:57,953
- Did he say where in Mexico?
- He had
516
00:26:57,955 --> 00:27:00,455
some friends in some city down there.
517
00:27:00,457 --> 00:27:04,426
I think it started with like, an M.
518
00:27:04,428 --> 00:27:06,795
An M?
519
00:27:06,797 --> 00:27:08,463
Uh-huh.
520
00:27:08,465 --> 00:27:10,365
- Mexicali?
- Mm-mm.
521
00:27:10,367 --> 00:27:12,701
Monterrey? Manzanillo?
522
00:27:12,703 --> 00:27:15,019
- Mazatlan?
- Yeah, that last one.
523
00:27:15,021 --> 00:27:16,939
I'm pretty sure that's it.
524
00:27:16,941 --> 00:27:18,740
Mazatlan.
525
00:27:20,743 --> 00:27:22,010
Thank you.
526
00:27:24,747 --> 00:27:26,748
Of course, the RCMP has got
527
00:27:26,750 --> 00:27:29,651
no jurisdiction in Mexico.
528
00:27:29,653 --> 00:27:31,778
How do we find them
529
00:27:31,780 --> 00:27:33,702
down there?
530
00:27:33,704 --> 00:27:35,990
_
531
00:27:38,229 --> 00:27:39,928
Gracias.
532
00:27:42,298 --> 00:27:44,233
Sergeant Peters?
533
00:27:44,235 --> 00:27:46,735
[Inspector Castellanos. Did you get]
534
00:27:46,737 --> 00:27:49,171
- the material I faxed to you?
- [I did.]
535
00:27:49,173 --> 00:27:51,740
I understand you have a couple
of fugitives you'd like us
536
00:27:51,742 --> 00:27:53,742
- to track down?
- [Yes, sir, That's right.]
537
00:27:53,744 --> 00:27:55,677
We believe they crossed into Mexico
538
00:27:55,679 --> 00:27:57,646
sometime in the last three weeks.
539
00:27:57,648 --> 00:27:59,982
They're wanted for a series
of violent armed robberies,
540
00:27:59,984 --> 00:28:02,651
and they're suspects in the
killing of a RCMP officer.
541
00:28:02,653 --> 00:28:05,053
I'm sorry to hear that. My condolences.
542
00:28:05,055 --> 00:28:07,821
[Thank you very much, sir.
We appreciate that.]
543
00:28:07,823 --> 00:28:10,025
So obviously, we want to
get them back to Canada
544
00:28:10,027 --> 00:28:11,860
to face trial, and we're wondering if...
545
00:28:11,862 --> 00:28:13,862
the Federales could help us find them.
546
00:28:13,864 --> 00:28:17,199
We'd be glad to help.
547
00:28:17,201 --> 00:28:19,301
It took them less than a week
548
00:28:19,303 --> 00:28:21,870
to locate Dipietro and Panacui.
549
00:28:24,407 --> 00:28:26,975
And I must say that the Federales
550
00:28:26,977 --> 00:28:29,411
could not have been more cooperative.
551
00:28:32,148 --> 00:28:34,449
We're dealing with someone who's
552
00:28:34,451 --> 00:28:38,020
killed a policeman, a cop
killer. I think they went
553
00:28:38,022 --> 00:28:40,622
further than they might
normally have gone.
554
00:28:40,624 --> 00:28:42,858
Sergeant Peters.
555
00:28:42,860 --> 00:28:45,594
- Inspector.
- Sorry for the wait.
556
00:28:45,596 --> 00:28:47,796
- Welcome to Mexico.
- I can't thank you
557
00:28:47,798 --> 00:28:50,232
and your department enough for
bringing them in so quickly.
558
00:28:50,234 --> 00:28:52,267
- Shall we?
- The irony
559
00:28:52,269 --> 00:28:54,803
of these two men fleeing to Mexico
560
00:28:54,805 --> 00:28:58,573
because they didn't want to
face justice here in Canada
561
00:28:58,575 --> 00:29:01,376
was that they went to a more violent
562
00:29:01,378 --> 00:29:03,145
police force.
563
00:29:09,419 --> 00:29:11,286
Here we are.
564
00:29:13,423 --> 00:29:14,856
Panacui...
565
00:29:21,264 --> 00:29:22,931
... and Dipietro.
566
00:29:24,767 --> 00:29:27,569
So I take it you've
already questioned them?
567
00:29:27,571 --> 00:29:30,930
- We have.
- I want to speak with them alone.
568
00:29:30,932 --> 00:29:33,208
Clearly, they had
sustained some injuries
569
00:29:33,210 --> 00:29:35,243
during the interrogation
570
00:29:35,245 --> 00:29:37,980
- with the Federales.
- Which one first?
571
00:29:37,982 --> 00:29:40,282
That one, Dipietro.
572
00:29:44,087 --> 00:29:46,455
We didn't and don't condone that,
573
00:29:46,457 --> 00:29:49,124
but, again, we don't
instruct them how to conduct
574
00:29:49,126 --> 00:29:51,593
policing in their country.
575
00:29:55,164 --> 00:29:57,899
Jean Guy Dipietro?
576
00:29:57,901 --> 00:30:01,370
Sergeant Peters from the RCMP.
I need to ask you a few questions.
577
00:30:01,372 --> 00:30:03,574
You're here to take us back to Canada?
578
00:30:03,576 --> 00:30:05,299
Now, there's an extradition in process,
579
00:30:05,301 --> 00:30:07,409
but that's gonna take a week or so.
580
00:30:07,411 --> 00:30:10,112
No. Can't take a week.
581
00:30:10,114 --> 00:30:12,814
You gotta get us out of here now!
582
00:30:12,816 --> 00:30:15,684
- Please!
- We could discuss that,
583
00:30:15,686 --> 00:30:18,587
but first I need to know where
you were three weeks ago,
584
00:30:18,589 --> 00:30:21,523
- on the night of the 25th.
- Well, I was here!
585
00:30:21,525 --> 00:30:23,392
With Oresto!
586
00:30:23,394 --> 00:30:25,394
We've been here over a month!
587
00:30:25,396 --> 00:30:27,696
If you don't believe
me, ask my landlady.
588
00:30:27,698 --> 00:30:29,798
We were renting a place on the beach.
589
00:30:29,800 --> 00:30:32,200
Was that right after you
murdered an RCMP constable
590
00:30:32,202 --> 00:30:34,503
- in Calgary?
- What are you saying?
591
00:30:34,505 --> 00:30:36,838
No! I... No!
592
00:30:36,840 --> 00:30:39,641
Jesus!
593
00:30:39,643 --> 00:30:42,174
They weren't even
in Canada when it happened,
594
00:30:42,176 --> 00:30:45,981
so they were pretty easy to alibi.
595
00:30:45,983 --> 00:30:48,350
Today, embassy officials in Mexico City
596
00:30:48,352 --> 00:30:51,520
confirmed both men
were arrested on Friday
597
00:30:51,522 --> 00:30:54,279
near the west coast resort
town of Mazatlan.
598
00:30:54,281 --> 00:30:56,304
When the two men return to Canada,
599
00:30:56,306 --> 00:30:57,859
they will face numerous charges.
600
00:30:57,861 --> 00:30:59,570
Whether they're responsible
601
00:30:59,572 --> 00:31:03,231
for the murder of Special
Constable Kowalczyk or not,
602
00:31:03,233 --> 00:31:05,267
they're unlawfully at large,
603
00:31:05,269 --> 00:31:07,536
we have to get them back to Canada.
604
00:31:07,538 --> 00:31:10,505
We're very disappointed
605
00:31:10,507 --> 00:31:12,574
to find out
606
00:31:12,576 --> 00:31:15,243
that... that too was another dead end.
607
00:31:21,862 --> 00:31:25,054
I just got this from Edmonton
PD responding to our call
608
00:31:25,056 --> 00:31:27,956
for a heads-up on crimes
involving shotguns.
609
00:31:27,958 --> 00:31:30,526
- What do they have for us?
- A holdup
610
00:31:30,528 --> 00:31:33,862
at a pizzeria last night. A
middle-aged woman threatened
611
00:31:33,864 --> 00:31:36,397
a cashier with a pistol
before the patrons chased her
612
00:31:36,399 --> 00:31:38,033
out into the parking lot.
613
00:31:38,035 --> 00:31:40,102
A young male accomplice was waiting
614
00:31:40,104 --> 00:31:42,003
in a getaway car. He fires a shotgun
615
00:31:42,005 --> 00:31:44,339
into the air scaring everybody off
616
00:31:44,341 --> 00:31:46,875
before those two escape
in a yellow Oldsmobile.
617
00:31:46,877 --> 00:31:48,910
- Did anyone get hurt?
- No. Just threats.
618
00:31:48,912 --> 00:31:51,146
That doesn't sound like our perps.
619
00:31:52,748 --> 00:31:55,584
They recovered a shell
from the scene. I had them
620
00:31:55,586 --> 00:31:57,552
run it over.
621
00:31:57,554 --> 00:31:59,888
It's a match.
622
00:31:59,890 --> 00:32:02,791
The scoring pattern, it's distinctive
623
00:32:02,793 --> 00:32:04,593
and deeply etched on all the shells.
624
00:32:04,595 --> 00:32:06,396
So the shells will match the weapon.
625
00:32:06,398 --> 00:32:07,452
And these patterns
626
00:32:07,454 --> 00:32:09,731
are obvious enough that a
layperson can make a match.
627
00:32:09,733 --> 00:32:11,600
So no, it wasn't
628
00:32:11,602 --> 00:32:13,802
the hardened criminals one would
629
00:32:13,804 --> 00:32:17,606
normally have assumed. In
fact, it's a mother and son:
630
00:32:17,608 --> 00:32:19,874
Linda Bowen and Andrew Kay.
631
00:32:23,079 --> 00:32:26,982
And we learned that they'd
rented a farmhouse out of town.
632
00:32:26,984 --> 00:32:29,951
I'm looking at it right now.
633
00:32:29,953 --> 00:32:34,338
Both have got pretty petty
criminal records; why would they
634
00:32:34,340 --> 00:32:36,573
progress to such a violent crime?
635
00:32:37,667 --> 00:32:39,891
Let's bring in the team.
636
00:32:39,893 --> 00:32:42,097
They have already murdered one
policeman; there's no saying
637
00:32:42,099 --> 00:32:44,366
that they wouldn't shoot yet another.
638
00:32:51,169 --> 00:32:54,538
We believed that Linda
Bowen and Andrew Kay are
639
00:32:54,540 --> 00:32:57,308
the people that killed Special
Constable Gord Kowalczyk.
640
00:32:57,310 --> 00:32:59,411
The holdup at a pizzeria last night;
641
00:32:59,413 --> 00:33:01,913
they recovered a shell from the scene.
642
00:33:01,915 --> 00:33:04,039
- It's a match.
- Let's bring in the team.
643
00:33:04,041 --> 00:33:06,798
This pair's way too dangerous to allow
644
00:33:06,800 --> 00:33:09,187
any chance that they could slip away.
645
00:33:15,494 --> 00:33:17,328
You were supposed to buy beer.
646
00:33:17,330 --> 00:33:20,398
We needed groceries.
I made you a sandwich.
647
00:33:20,400 --> 00:33:22,400
It's in the fridge if you're hungry.
648
00:33:22,402 --> 00:33:24,235
What about the cash from last night?
649
00:33:24,237 --> 00:33:27,172
We need that for the power.
You don't want them
650
00:33:27,174 --> 00:33:29,054
to cut us off now, do you, sweetie?
651
00:33:29,056 --> 00:33:31,676
Then we can do another job, huh?
652
00:33:31,678 --> 00:33:34,279
It's too risky.
653
00:33:34,281 --> 00:33:36,848
I thought you said we
were gonna take a break.
654
00:33:40,985 --> 00:33:44,010
The relationship that these two had
655
00:33:44,012 --> 00:33:46,711
most certainly was not normal.
656
00:33:46,713 --> 00:33:49,313
I think it defies explanation.
657
00:33:50,700 --> 00:33:53,698
Come on. It'll be fun.
658
00:33:53,700 --> 00:33:56,534
We could hit that burger
place I told you about.
659
00:33:56,536 --> 00:33:59,104
I don't want anything to happen to you.
660
00:33:59,106 --> 00:34:01,673
Nothing is gonna happen.
661
00:34:12,818 --> 00:34:14,953
You're my best boy.
662
00:34:14,955 --> 00:34:16,988
I know.
663
00:34:25,064 --> 00:34:28,700
All clear. Let's go!
664
00:34:40,012 --> 00:34:42,013
Team B in position.
665
00:34:47,187 --> 00:34:49,821
Hold position. Hold position.
666
00:34:49,823 --> 00:34:52,023
What the hell is wrong with you?!
667
00:34:52,025 --> 00:34:55,927
Shut up!
668
00:35:10,543 --> 00:35:12,811
Someone could get hurt here.
669
00:35:12,813 --> 00:35:14,202
Wait for my go.
670
00:35:14,204 --> 00:35:16,928
If somebody from the
house starts shooting at
671
00:35:16,930 --> 00:35:20,521
our people, well, they're
gonna return fire.
672
00:35:20,523 --> 00:35:23,154
Just a quick turn, the pull of
a trigger, and someone's dead.
673
00:35:23,156 --> 00:35:25,023
Go, go.
674
00:35:30,303 --> 00:35:32,261
Police!
675
00:35:32,263 --> 00:35:35,020
Drop your weapon! Get
on the ground! Do it now!
676
00:35:40,150 --> 00:35:42,541
Andrew!
677
00:35:42,543 --> 00:35:44,876
Andrew!
678
00:36:14,940 --> 00:36:16,941
Linda...
679
00:36:16,943 --> 00:36:19,844
I'm gonna need you to talk to me.
680
00:36:21,780 --> 00:36:24,249
It's too late for Andrew now.
681
00:36:24,251 --> 00:36:26,484
You need to focus on helping yourself.
682
00:36:26,486 --> 00:36:29,254
Of course it's too late
for him, you killed him.
683
00:36:29,256 --> 00:36:32,624
What do you mean? Andrew's fine.
684
00:36:32,626 --> 00:36:34,926
You're lying. I heard the shots.
685
00:36:34,928 --> 00:36:36,895
You people killed him
686
00:36:36,897 --> 00:36:39,964
right in our own front
yard like he was an animal.
687
00:36:43,369 --> 00:36:46,371
I promise we didn't
do anything to Andrew.
688
00:36:46,373 --> 00:36:49,240
If I showed you, will you trust me?
689
00:36:54,446 --> 00:36:56,547
Linda Bowen was
690
00:36:56,549 --> 00:36:59,250
extremely concerned about the welfare
691
00:36:59,252 --> 00:37:01,209
of her son. In my opinion,
692
00:37:01,211 --> 00:37:03,400
it was impossible to
continue with an interview
693
00:37:03,402 --> 00:37:05,703
with someone in that state of mind.
694
00:37:17,987 --> 00:37:21,246
Oh, my best boy.
695
00:37:21,248 --> 00:37:24,806
Once she saw him, a big burden
696
00:37:24,808 --> 00:37:27,408
was lifted off her shoulders.
697
00:37:31,183 --> 00:37:33,918
"My son's alive".
698
00:37:33,920 --> 00:37:35,486
I want a lawyer.
699
00:37:37,256 --> 00:37:40,024
So you've said.
700
00:37:40,026 --> 00:37:42,961
Do you understand that you're being
charged with first-degree murder?
701
00:37:45,664 --> 00:37:47,832
We have your rifle,
702
00:37:47,834 --> 00:37:49,701
and we can prove it
was the murder weapon.
703
00:37:56,976 --> 00:37:58,943
You killed an officer
in the line of duty...
704
00:38:00,713 --> 00:38:02,780
... that carries an
automatic life sentence.
705
00:38:02,782 --> 00:38:06,117
You're not getting out of this.
706
00:38:06,119 --> 00:38:08,553
The best thing you can do
for yourself is cooperate.
707
00:38:12,791 --> 00:38:15,026
I want...
708
00:38:15,028 --> 00:38:17,061
a lawyer.
709
00:38:19,398 --> 00:38:21,422
We've got people
710
00:38:21,424 --> 00:38:24,281
in custody. We conduct
a search of the house.
711
00:38:24,283 --> 00:38:26,773
We find the Defender shotgun.
712
00:38:26,775 --> 00:38:28,581
We've got them.
713
00:38:28,583 --> 00:38:30,373
We got the perpetrators.
714
00:38:30,375 --> 00:38:32,208
Now, can we prove it?
715
00:38:35,147 --> 00:38:38,583
The whole thing was
supposed to be real simple.
716
00:38:38,585 --> 00:38:40,952
We figured...
717
00:38:43,022 --> 00:38:45,456
... we'd hit a few places:
718
00:38:45,458 --> 00:38:47,392
gas stations,
719
00:38:47,394 --> 00:38:49,827
maybe a convenience store.
720
00:38:49,829 --> 00:38:51,636
Nothing big,
721
00:38:51,638 --> 00:38:54,262
just in an out.
722
00:38:54,264 --> 00:38:57,365
Take everything that they had
in the till and get out of there.
723
00:38:59,204 --> 00:39:01,105
And on the night of the murder?
724
00:39:03,208 --> 00:39:05,977
We didn't want to use our car,
725
00:39:05,979 --> 00:39:08,179
so we stole the truck the day before.
726
00:39:10,282 --> 00:39:14,252
Andrew had it because
I don't drive stick.
727
00:39:14,254 --> 00:39:16,320
I was following in our car.
728
00:39:18,457 --> 00:39:21,659
We checked out a few places
729
00:39:21,661 --> 00:39:25,296
and decided on the gas
station by the airport.
730
00:39:25,298 --> 00:39:27,598
He went and did the robbery.
731
00:39:27,600 --> 00:39:30,168
I waited in a grocery store.
732
00:39:30,170 --> 00:39:32,070
Why didn't you go in with him?
733
00:39:34,039 --> 00:39:36,007
I got scared.
734
00:39:37,743 --> 00:39:40,144
Andrew said he'd do it himself.
735
00:39:40,146 --> 00:39:43,381
And then what happened?
736
00:39:43,383 --> 00:39:45,349
He came back.
737
00:39:45,351 --> 00:39:48,352
20 minutes, maybe a half hour.
738
00:39:48,354 --> 00:39:50,388
He shows up with no money,
739
00:39:50,390 --> 00:39:52,390
says he killed a cop.
740
00:39:52,392 --> 00:39:55,493
At first, I didn't believe him.
741
00:39:57,062 --> 00:39:59,764
Then I seen the bullet
holes in the truck.
742
00:39:59,766 --> 00:40:01,566
Did he explain what happened?
743
00:40:04,002 --> 00:40:06,337
Alls he said is that he had to do it.
744
00:40:08,340 --> 00:40:10,208
I never asked again.
745
00:40:14,580 --> 00:40:17,315
One thing I don't understand;
746
00:40:17,317 --> 00:40:20,485
after the murders, why
wouldn't you just quit?
747
00:40:20,487 --> 00:40:22,420
Why would you keep taking that risk?
748
00:40:22,422 --> 00:40:24,755
I wanted to stop,
749
00:40:24,757 --> 00:40:27,024
but I knew Andrew wouldn't.
750
00:40:27,026 --> 00:40:29,994
He'd keep doing it with or without me.
751
00:40:29,996 --> 00:40:32,430
You want to keep him safe.
752
00:40:34,433 --> 00:40:36,601
I went
753
00:40:36,603 --> 00:40:38,569
because I knew if I didn't...
754
00:40:41,140 --> 00:40:43,174
... he'd hurt more people.
755
00:40:46,178 --> 00:40:48,513
He's my little boy.
756
00:40:54,119 --> 00:40:56,220
He's my little boy.
757
00:41:00,893 --> 00:41:03,161
A 21-year-old man, Andrew Kay,
758
00:41:03,163 --> 00:41:05,696
was charged yesterday
with first-degree murder
759
00:41:05,698 --> 00:41:08,888
in the January 26th shooting
death of Constable Kowalczyk.
760
00:41:08,890 --> 00:41:10,702
Kay is being held in a cell here
761
00:41:10,704 --> 00:41:12,960
at the Airdrie RCMP detachment.
762
00:41:12,962 --> 00:41:15,319
His 42-year-old mother
is also in custody.
763
00:41:15,321 --> 00:41:18,154
Linda Marie Bowen is
charged with her part
764
00:41:18,156 --> 00:41:20,646
in the brutal shooting death
of Constable Kowalczyk.
765
00:41:20,648 --> 00:41:22,971
Linda Bowen and her
son Andrew will be here
766
00:41:22,973 --> 00:41:25,583
at the Airdrie courthouse
tomorrow to face charges
767
00:41:25,585 --> 00:41:28,252
that could send them both to
prison for the rest of their lives.
768
00:41:28,254 --> 00:41:30,855
Court appearance is set for
10 o'clock tomorrow morning.
769
00:41:30,857 --> 00:41:33,324
Des Kilfoyle, CBC News.
770
00:41:33,326 --> 00:41:35,426
All of Gord's coworkers
have been visiting
771
00:41:35,428 --> 00:41:39,897
and bringing food, checking
up on the young kids,
772
00:41:39,899 --> 00:41:41,732
They've been really good to us.
773
00:41:43,502 --> 00:41:45,403
We caught them, Sylvia.
774
00:41:49,875 --> 00:41:52,376
Gord Kowalczyk wearing that uniform
775
00:41:52,378 --> 00:41:54,445
made him a target.
776
00:41:54,447 --> 00:41:57,982
That's why he was shot: because
he was wearing that uniform.
777
00:42:00,219 --> 00:42:02,220
It's an officer's worst nightmare.
778
00:42:04,656 --> 00:42:07,191
It's a reminder that
every time you go out,
779
00:42:07,193 --> 00:42:09,994
you may not make it home that night.
