In Memory of Reg.#3887, William 'Bill' Hayward


 

Question: What is the obvious clue in Mr. Bowen's photo which attracted the attention of our Toronto Vets and especially the eye of lead investigator Jack O'Reilly?
Answer: The shadow of a grave which never gave up its secret!
In the shadow of Mr. Bowen's grave was the final underground resting place of NWMP, Reg.#3887, Constable William Hayward.



The 'Mystery of the Mountie's Grave
which Required Minimal Maintenance'
In the investigation of a criminal case, particularily a serious one, it's not unusual that its forward momentum should stall -- for example, witnesses disappear or some are uncooperative. 

In the  most serious of cases which are not solved, the Criminal Operations Officer (CROPS) brings in a fresh team of investigators to review the entire case. The team questions themselves: 'What might have been overlooked?'

In the 'Mystery of the Mountie's Grave which Required Minimal Maintenance', the new team is most likely to ask this single question: 'Would this Mystery have been solved much sooner if, just if, neighbour Mr. Bowen had been interviewed?

As it turned out, Mr. Bowen's statement was not required. The case was solved by traditional means: hard work by our Toronto Vets and Jack O'Reilly!
