On the two year anniversary of the day Thelma Krull was last seen, Winnipeg police said “they’ve made critical, significant progress.”
“At this time police believe Thelma was the victim of foul play,” Cst. Jay Murray with the Winnipeg police said.
During a briefing Tuesday morning, police spoke about a possible sighting at Kimberly Avenue and Gateway Road on the day she disappeared. As first released in 2016, she was reported as being in the company of a “heavy set male, indigenous in appearance, 5’8″ in height, 270 pounds with a bowl style haircut.”
Murray said homicide investigators believe this person is a suspect and the informatiop has formed a “significant part of the investigation”, but said they don’t want to risk releasing “too much information”.
“You’ve got a lot of very experienced, probably some of the most experienced investigators in the homicide unit working on this,” Murray said. “So it’s a route they’ve determined to take and I think we can trust that it’s the right approach to take.”
Police once again asked for anyone with any information to contact investigators at 1-204-986-6508.
