The next panel of witnesses to testify at B.C.’s missing women inquiry will feature four senior Vancouver police officers working in the years before serial killer Robert Pickton was arrested.
In the late 1990s, Inspectors Fred Biddlecombe and Dan Dureau, Sgt. Geramy Field and Deputy Chief Const. Brian McGuinness each had a hand in the search for dozens of women reported missing from the Downtown Eastside.
Their testimony before Commissioner Wally Oppal is slated to wrap up Wednesday.
The inquiry’s already heard praise for field from an outside investigator who described her efforts to solve the disappearances as “heroic.”
Biddlecombe, who was the former head of the VPD’s major crimes unit, has been criticized for initially dismissing the theory a serial killer was at work.
