Summary:

 

She was ___ years-old at DFD, her blood alcohol level was __ at DOD.

During Gilbert’s trail, prosecution use the deaths of 10 un-named first nations women and 4 un-named first nations women that almost died during the 6 week surveillance to establish the same pattern Gilbert used to prey on vulnerable women who had their own addiction problems by offering them booze and sometimes offering to pay them to drink, which the Judge allowed to be entered under the believe that further charges would be placed against Gilbert for those crimes. Gilbert admitted to being with these women and providing them the alcohol and being the only one with them when they died. Gilbert admitted during his testimony that he paid the women to drink and to have sex with him. No further charges were ever laid against Gilbert for these deaths.

Shade was found dead from alcohol poisoning in a room Gilbert had rented in his name for them to drink in. Gilbert was not found at the scene and he did not report Shade’s death but his finger prints were left all over the scene and were a match to Buckner’s murder scene one mouth earlier.

There was no investigation into her death, Coroner’s report stats she died from alcohol poising and ruled her death as accidental. Even after it became apparent that her death was deliberate the case was not re-opened for investigation because she was a drinker they felt there was no need to investigate Gilbert for her murder.

Police placed Gilbert under surveillance for 6 weeks and intervened 4 times to save his intended victims from the same fate as Buckner and Shade. The first women saved had a blood alcohol level of 0.51 and the second women had a blood alcohol level of 0.43. The other two women their blood alcohol level is unknown.

Gilbert was arrested and was charged with Manslaughter for the death of Vanessa Buckner, on Dec-87. He was found guilty on 20-Oct-98 and was sentenced to 12 years in prison. On 26-Nov-91 his sentenced was reduced to 9 years. He was released in 1994 after serving 6 years on his 12 year sentence and moved to the Victoria, BC area.

He had a court ordered ban not enter or drink in bars or public placed where alcohol was served and not to be in the company of any women that are drinking or if he is drinking at any time. He was also confined to Victoria Island as part of his parole. He breached his probation many times and was deemed a ‘High risk offender’ but he was still allowed to walk free.

Gilbert died on 7-Jul-06 at the age of 75.
