Provincial police say a man convicted of killing an Ontario couple in the early 1990s has now been charged in a cold case murder.
Ontario Provincial Police say they’ve charged 70-year-old David Alexander Snow with first-degree murder, 34 years after the body of 40-year-old Angelien Quesnelle was found near Apsley, Ont.
A spokesperson for the force confirmed the suspect is the same man who was convicted of the 1992 murders of Toronto couple Ian and Nancy Blackburn, as well as other crimes in British Columbia.
Snow is currently serving a life sentence for the Blackburn murders.
The latest charge against him has not been tested in court.
The OPP say their continued investigation of Quesnelle’s death over the years led them to charge Snow with murder last week.
‘For 34 years, her family has lived without answers’
Const. Joe Brisebois said Monday that police could not release further details about that investigation as the case is before the courts.
Quesnelle was first reported missing in October 1991, after she was last seen in Peterborough, Ont.
Police say a hunter discovered her body on Nov. 15, 1991 and her death was deemed a homicide.
“For 34 years, her family has lived without answers,” OPP Det. Insp. Shawn Glassford said in a news release.
“This arrest represents an important step toward providing Angelien’s family and the community of Apsley with the long-awaited answers they deserve.”
