Adam Palmer, Vancouver’s Police Chief, said in a statement that hundreds of witnesses were interviewed and thousands of exhibits processed in the four-year investigation.

“This arrest, coming more than four years later, should serve as a warning. No matter how long it takes, no matter what stands in our way, the men and women of the Vancouver Police Department will never stop their relentless pursuit of the truth, evidence, and accountability for those who commit violent crimes,” said Palmer.
