Siding with Bad Guys

Activists targeting revolutionary crime-fighting tool

“The most terrifying words in the English language are: I’m from the government and I’m here to help.”— Former U.S. President Ronald Reagan

Particularly if you’re a crime victim in Canada.

One of the most revolutionary developments in solving murders, sex assaults, and identifying John and Jane Does has now come under the scrutiny of the Information and Privacy Commissioner of Ontario.

A nearly 10,000-word opus entitled, Guardrails for Police Use of Investigative Genetic Genealogy in Ontario, obtained by the Toronto Sun, is packed with bureaucratese. The commission wants “guardrails” to derail police snooping in DNA databases. But cops don’t do that now.

They are not allowed.

Internet Genetic Genealogy has been the big bang in homicide investigations. In Toronto alone, 59 murders and sexual assaults have been cleared, along with the identification of those nameless individuals who ended up dead.

You may know the names: Christine Jessop, Erin Gilmour, Susan Tice and scores of others.
For the report, the commission invited a wide swath of people and groups to give their input. That includes cops, community groups and a slew of activists.

Because every case deserves answers—and every victim deserves justice.

  A Life Interrupted: The Bright Promise and Tragic Mystery of Lynda White London, Ontario, 1968: Lynda White was a vibrant 19-year-old university student, brimming with promise. A gifted pianist and passionate scholar, Lynda dreamed of a future shaped by her love of literature, music, and creativity. But on a crisp November afternoon, after finishing a French exam at Western University, Lynda vanished without a trace. For nearly four years, her disappearance haunted her family and community—until a grim discovery in a remote Norfolk County woodland shattered the hope of her safe return.

The deliberate removal of her left arm hinted at a calculated, sinister act. Who took Lynda White?
