Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) have charged 70-year-old David Alexander Snow with first-degree murder in connection with the 1991 homicide of 40-year-old Angelien Quesnelle near Apsley, Ontario. This charge comes 34 years after her body was found.
Snow, currently serving a life sentence for the 1992 murders of Toronto couple Ian and Nancy Blackburn, as well as other crimes in British Columbia, was identified following a lengthy investigation into Quesnelle’s death.
The OPP confirmed the charge last week but said further details are sealed as the case is before the courts. Constable Joe Brisebois declined to release more information on the ongoing investigation.
Angelien Quesnelle was reported missing in October 1991 after last being seen in Peterborough, Ontario. Her body was discovered by a hunter on November 15, 1991, and her death was ruled a homicide.
Detective Inspector Shawn Glassford expressed sympathy for the family, stating, “For 34 years, her family has lived without answers. This arrest represents an important step toward providing Angelien’s family and the community of Apsley with the long-awaited answers they deserve.”
The charge against Snow has not yet been tested in court.
