Man convicted of killing Ontario couple now charged in cold case murder, police say
Provincial police say a man convicted of killing an Ontario couple in the early 1990s has now been charged in a cold case murder. Ontario Provincial Police say they've charged 70-year-old David Alexander Snow with first-degree murder, 34 years after the body of 40-year-old Angelien Quesnelle was found near Apsley, Ont. A spokesperson for the force confirmed the suspect is the same man who was convicted of the 1992 murders of Toronto couple Ian and Nancy Blackburn, as well as other crimes in British Columbia. Snow is currently serving a life sentence for the Blackburn murders. The latest charge against him has not been tested in court. The OPP say their continued investigation of Quesnelle's death over the years led them to charge Snow with murder last week. 'For 34 years, her family has lived without answers' Const. Joe Brisebois said Monday that police could not release further details about that investigation as the case is before the courts. Quesnelle was first reported missing in October 1991, after she was last seen in Peterborough, Ont. Police say a hunter discovered her body on Nov. 15, 1991 and her death was deemed a homicide. "For 34 years, her family has lived without answers," OPP Det. Insp. Shawn Glassford said in a news release. "This arrest represents an important step toward providing Angelien's family and the community of Apsley with the long-awaited answers they deserve."

‘House Hermit' David Snow charged in 1991 death of missing woman
An old image of David Alexander Snow, who was previously convicted in the murders of Ian and Nancy Blackburn. Provincial police confirm to CTV News Toronto that the man charged in connection with the death of a woman north of Peterborough is the same man who was convicted in the murders of Ian and Nancy Blackburn in the early '90s. In April 1992, the Blackburns were found dead in the trunk of their car, parked in their home's driveway in the Yonge and Lawrence area. A manhunt soon followed for David Alexander Snow, who came to be known as the 'House Hermit,' according to CTV News' reporting at the time. On Monday, Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) say they have charged 70-year-old Snow in connection with the murder of Angelien Josephine Quesnelle of Apsley, Ont., who was reported missing in October 1991. She was last seen at around noon on Oct. 7, 1991, in Peterborough and despite police's exhaustive search efforts, they said they could not find her. About a month later, on Nov. 10, police said they found Quenselle's vehicle in an abandoned quarry in the area of Ridge Road and Highway 620, located east of Coe Hill. Police say after conducting an extensive search, they found several items belonging to Quesnelle nearby. Five days later, on Nov. 15, OPP say a hunter found Quesnelle's body on McCoy Bay Road. Following a postmortem, police concluded Quesnelle's death was a homicide. Police said they have continued to investigate but years went by without any arrests. That was until last Thursday when Snow was charged with first-degree murder. The charge has not been tested in court. 'Angelien Quesnelle was murdered in 1991 and, for 34 years, her family has lived without answers. OPP investigators have never stopped searching for her killer, relentless in their pursuit of truth,' OPP Det.-Insp. Shawn Glassford said in Monday's release. 'This arrest represents an important step toward providing Angelien's family and the community of Apsley with the long-awaited answers they deserve.' Investigators are asking anyone with new information about this case to contact them at 1-705-742-0401 or Crime Stoppers anonymously.
