The husband of a Vancouver woman who was found dead in a Vancouver park says he has lost faith in the RCMP and their ability to solve the case.
"I've got no vendetta against the RCMP, I'm not trying to point fingers. I'm just trying to find out who the heck killed my wife," said Michel Beaudry in an interview Thursday.
Beaudry's wife, Wendy Ladner-Beaudry, was found on a path in Pacific Spirit Park near UBC in April.
Police have not said how she was killed, but she appeared to be out for a run when she was attacked.
Early on in the investigation, Michel Beaudry was a considered a suspect. RCMP later cleared him.
Michel Beaudry says the lead RCMP investigator told him that they were at a dead end and needed his help.
He says the investigator told him that if he didn't go to the media, the investigation was over. "It was that cut and dry."
But instead of a public appeal for help, Beaudry is speaking out about his frustration on the way the case is being handled.
"They tell me one thing, they tell the press another. They tell my in-laws another thing. I'm just totally confused over the investigation and really worried there is still a murderer out there."
RCMP officials deny they ever asked Beaudry to speak out.
"Mr. Beaudry has appealed to us on several occasions and said he wanted to speak to the media," said RCMP Cpl. Dale Carr. "Our request to him, if you want to do that, take into consideration what he knows about the investigation and don't say anything or do anything that could set us back in the investigation."
The RCMP say they empathize with Beaudry. A team of eight officers is still on the case, they say.
"I am not sure if I am a pawn in some kind of bigger game. But I know that my family is suffering through this," Beaudry said.
