A12 - The Terrace Standard, Wednesday, February 10, 1999 Stabbing took place two months ago

Murder still unsolved

TWO MONTHS after Linda LeFrane was stabbed to death in her southside Braun St. townhouse on Dec. 9, 1998, Terrace RCMP aren’t any closer to figuring out who nvur- dered her, ,

“We're reviewing everythig we have,” said Staff Sgt. Bob Solvason, ‘‘We’re retracing our steps.’”

Four local general investigation officers are working on the case full-time while two serious crime investigators from Prince George left for home last week.

“They'll be back down here again,”’ said Terrace RCMP detachment commander Insp. Doug Wheler, adding the unit is busy handling cases’ across B.C.'s north,

Two local general duty officers have almost finished in- lerviewing people ‘who” live’ in’ the general area of LeFrane’s southside townhouse.

“They've only got five people left to talk to,’" Solvason - said last week.

Stil, the Terrace detachment is far from giving up or is-

suing a reward for information leading to the arrest of the een murderer. ; st ; ‘What we can do, we will do,” said Solvason.

Nisga’a Tribal

isn’t running a bogus raffle.

Problems began when the local didn’t sell enough tick- ets for a planned Noy. 1998 cash prize draw,

It, then received a draw date extension to Feb, 21 from the B,C. Gaming Com- mission but couldn’t afford to have new tickets printed.

Although people who pur- chase tickets are given memos regarding the exten- sion, council members have received phone calls from people accusing them of selling bogus tickets.

A licence amendment is also taped and posted to the tables wherever tickets are sold. ;

Caroline Daniels,.a trustee of the local, says people should be assured the tickets are still good. — :

Ticket sales are also slow because of the local econo- my, she said, ;

Marlene Robinson, the co- ordinator for the raffle, says people are also not buying lickets because it is a Nisga’a project.

In a letter 10 The Terrace Standard, Robinson wrote: “ve witnessed many limes and it hurts so much to be- turned away by peaple. who. we have supported in all these years,” ~

She explained that over the years the council has donated to- many: charities and services around town.

Personally, Iwas not brought up to treat people different because they are of a different race, different colour,’’ Robinson -. said, “My parents taught me to respect everyone for who they are, we all have the same blood.’’ ‘

Proceeds from tickets will help pay travel expenses for people travelling here this spring for the Nisga’a Tribal Council annual convention. It's being hosted by the Ter- race local.

The Terrace local of the tribal council is a non-profit group with more than 750 members,

First prize is $2,000; sec-
