Investigators in Edmonton say a string of vehicle thefts in Regina and Saskatoon are linked to a homicide in their city in 2011.

According to a news release from Edmonton, John Kwiatkowski, 29, was found in his home "the victim of a violent murder" in early April of that year. Police are refusing to say how Kwiatkowski died, saying they want to hold on to that information to protect their investigation.

On Tuesday, police said four vehicles, a sedan, SUV, Jeep and truck have yielded clues linking them to the man's death.

"Based on the timeline and geographic locations of each theft and recovery of the vehicles in question, we feel at least one of the persons involved in the homicide used these stolen vehicles to travel from Regina to Saskatoon, and then to Edmonton, just a few days before Kwiatkowski was killed on April 14, 2011," Det. Colin Derksen, a homicide investigator on the case, said. "Various property items found in the recovered vehicles further link them together."

Police added that in one of the vehicles, a stolen Jeep, they found family video associated with the man who was killed and a pair of his bloody shoes.

Anyone with information on the vehicles is being asked to call police.

The vehicles are:

  • 2009 Subaru Forester SUV, grey. Stolen from Regina in April 2011 and recovered in Saskatoon.
  • 2010 Ford Fusion Sedan, blue. Stolen from Saskatoon in April 2011 and recovered in Saskatoon.
  • GMC Canyon Truck, red. Stolen from Saskatoon in April 2011 and recovered in Edmonton.
  • 2006 Jeep Cherokee Laredo, red. Stolen from Edmonton in April 2011 and recovered in Edmonton.

Edmonton police added that their investigation has led them to some people "of interest" in Alberta and Saskatchewan. "Our attention is definitely focused on these individuals for additional information," Derksen said.

She's Going Places - A Song For Little Caylee Anthony

In light of the controversial acquittal of Casey Anthony, who was accused of killing her adorable 2-year-old daughter Caylee, Rascal Flatts' lead singer, Gary LeVox, co-penned a tribute song called 'She's Going Places' to the little girl. Country parody singer Cledus T Judd got serious, along with Jimmy Yeary, to co-write this piano-driven ballad. A Nashville demo singer also contributes vocals to the song. I do not own anything in the video, including the audio and photos. The credits belong to the respective owners. This video is purely fan-made, and will not be used for profit or illegal sharing. Thanks. She was just a baby, barely 2 years old A story that shouldn't have to be told See that little girl with big brown eyes Stole our hearts and touched our lives Now we cry, 'cause we can't understand You see she wanted to learn to play guitar, Be a ballerina or movie star She could've gone so far She can be anything that she wants to She can ride her bike every afternoon She can laugh and play With her dolls and games Just like all little girls should get to do Too young for her life to be taken She's going places I bet she'd spend her time skipping rope Drawing rainbows on streets that are paved with gold Get to ride a big wheel jumping curbs In a parking lot of a great big church And I wish I could see it all But her memory will live on right here Till i get over there And see her again She can be anything that she wants to She can ride her bike every afternoon She ...

Homicide victim found at vacant Everett house

EVERETT -- Police on Wednesday were canvassing the View Ridge-Madison neighborhood in Everett after a man was found dead there the night before. A neighbor spotted the man on the ground outside a vacant house at 22 Madison St. He called 911 about 6:20 p.m. The man had obvious signs of trauma to his torso, police said. He looked to be in his late 20s or early 30s. The Everett Major Crimes Unit is investigating the death as a homicide, Lt. Robert Goetz said. Detectives declined to say more about how they believe the man may have died. There are no identified suspects or motives. Detectives received a search warrant around 11:45 p.m. Tuesday and collected evidence at the scene. They returned Wednesday afternoon to look for clues in the daylight, Goetz said. The victim's identity had not been determined as of late Wednesday afternoon. The body was turned over to the Snohomish County Medical Examiner's Office.

Manslaughter charges possible in boy's death

Published: Thursday, August 23, 2012, 5:55 p.m. MONROE -- Detectives believe a 7-year-old Monroe boy's parents should face second-degree manslaughter charges in connection with his January overdose death. Monroe police this week wrapped up their probe into the boy's Jan. 30 death and forwarded the case to prosecutors to decide if his parents should face criminal charges. Snohomish County deputy prosecutor Lisa Paul likely will begin reviewing the case in the coming days. She doesn't expect to make a charging decision in the near future, however. "It's quite an extensive investigation, and I want to review it thoroughly before I make any decision," she said. The boy, identified as "A.J." in court papers, ingested a lethal amount of salicylates, a chemical common in aspirin and other over-the-counter drugs. The medical examiner declined to conduct an autopsy on the boy, making it difficult to determine how the drug ended up in the boy's system. A
