This story is just rocking Canada right now... :-(

This is exactly what I thought when I read the OP, and still cannot fathom the total lack of clues.

Don't forget they just bought this cottage a few yrs ago. Their main home is in Ottawa where his wife also works. They didn't get down there every single weekend and hubby did go by himself when she couldn't get away drom work.
If everyone would have reported each and every incident it might have been solved before it turned to murder. I feel very sorry for his wife, the full impact is only starting to hit her now. Everyone feels sorry for her and only a handful of narrow minded people are hinting that she might have closed her eyes to this. Lots of women live in a happy happy bubble life but she wasn't one of them.

When I read the research posted by Catty, even then, the people said that there were things that didn't add up. Like you said, if everyone reported every thing, it might not have gone this far. Call me skeptical (but hardly narrow minded), I have seen/read/heard of too many stories where, upon reflection, it was all but blindness caused by love, those closest to the defendants, these people 'knew' something wasn't right. Not sure it was in the context of such horror as this situation, though.

If he still gets that pension, he should be charged whatever it cost to keep him in prison.. pay for his own keep there.

I really feel sorry for his wife and his close friends (if he had any). What I can't help but wonder is how long he has been doing this kind of thing.. You don't just wake up one day and decide to rape and kill.. What else is he hiding? He was apparently a master at hiding things, keeping secretes and fooling people.
