On July 26 1983 three Americans were driving back from Canada to their homes in the State of Michigan. As the three individuals approached the International Bridge in Windsor, Ontario, another vehicle cut in front of them and forced them to stop. The driver and passenger of the vehicle got out of the vehicle and came over to the American’s car. The driver of the car punched one of the Americans while his passenger slashed all three with a knife. One victim had to be hospitalized because of the injuries. The assailants then departed before they could be apprehended.
The two less seriously injured victims were taken to the police station shortly after this incident for questioning and reviewed 800 photographs. From these, they chose 4 or 5 pictures that they believed “Looked-like” their assailant. …show more content…
The victims also described the vehicle of their attacker as being a blue, Ford Thunderbird, possibly manufactured during the years 1973 to 1975. The officer in charge of the investigation, Detective- Sergeant Larkin, escorted the victims out of the city of Windsor after the incident. Larkin then issued a police report, which contained a general description of the assailants and their vehicle based on what the victim had told them. Larkin then started investigating the activities of Cameron who the two victims had identified earlier. He found out that Cameron had not even been in the jurisdiction at the time of the assault. After further investigation, Cameron was eliminated as a suspect. Officer Larkin then turned to the “persons investigated” file which is kept by the Windsor police. He reviewed the file in order to locate vehicles similar to the one that the victims had described, since he knew that a 1973 to 1975 blue thunderbird was not a common car in the city of Windsor. As a result Larkin found that the appellant Storrey had been stopped numerous times driving a 1973 thunderbird. He then obtained a photo of Storrey form the files
