In 1979, a 27-year-old Proctor killed 21-year-old Catherine Cluney and raped then-15-year-old Tracey Walsh and a friend near Winnipeg. Walsh has since asked the courts to remove the publication ban on her name.
He was convicted years later because he spent more than a decade in a mental health facility, after being deemed unfit to stand trial.
