Charges withdrawn in Byron Carr cold case after evidence lost
Original: Crown to withdraw charges in Byron Carr cold case murder after key evidence lost
The Crown is withdrawing charges in the decades-old killing of Byron Carr after key evidence was lost, CBC reports. Carr's 1987 murder in Prince Edward Island was one of the region's longest-running cold cases, and the collapse of the prosecution after so many years has drawn attention to how the evidence went missing and whether anyone will now be held accountable.
Why now: A long-running cold case prosecution has collapsed because of lost evidence, renewing questions about the investigation.
