00:00:22,255 --> 00:00:25,225 There was no forced entry attempt into the safe. 21 00:00:25,225 --> 00:00:27,160 Three knives had blood on the handle 22 00:00:27,160 --> 00:00:29,129 and blood on the blade as well. 23 00:00:29,129 --> 00:00:32,032 The piece of latex glove has 2 DNA profiles on it. 24 00:00:32,032 --> 00:00:33,566 Is the story accurate? 25 00:00:33,566 --> 00:00:36,036 Could we corroborate it with other evidence 26 00:00:36,036 --> 00:00:37,504 to solve this crime? 27 00:00:42,742 --> 00:00:44,210 When homicide investigators 28 00:00:44,210 --> 00:00:46,246 collect evidence from a crime scene, 29 00:00:46,246 --> 00:00:48,548 they hold the pieces of a puzzle. 30 00:00:48,548 --> 00:00:51,317 Only by connecting those pieces back together 31 00:00:51,317 --> 00:00:53,420 can they catch the killer. 32 00:00:58,425 --> 00:01:01,227 Barrhaven is a community located southwest 33 00:01:01,227 --> 00:01:03,196 of downtown Ottawa. 34 00:01:03,196 --> 00:01:04,130 In the past few years, 35 00:01:04,130 --> 00:01:06,599 Barrhaven has been growing tremendously. 36 00:01:06,599 --> 00:01:09,102 New schools, new stores, 37 00:01:09,102 --> 00:01:11,504 different type of grocery stores. 38 00:01:11,504 --> 00:01:12,772 Barrhaven has a large number of 39 00:01:12,772 --> 00:01:15,375 South Asian Canadians living in the area. 40 00:01:15,375 --> 00:01:17,644 There's also several commercial businesses 41 00:01:17,644 --> 00:01:20,580 that are owned by members of the Sikh community. 42 00:01:20,580 --> 00:01:22,816 And there's also a prominent Sikh temple 43 00:01:22,816 --> 00:01:24,751 in that Barrhaven area. 44 00:01:56,850 --> 00:02:00,120 The 9-1-1 call was placed at 12:58 PM 45 00:02:00,120 --> 00:02:02,355 by Bhupinderpal Gill. 46 00:02:02,355 --> 00:02:05,258 Paramedics arrive soon after to revive his wife, 47 00:02:05,258 --> 00:02:06,526 Jagtar Gill. 48 00:02:06,526 --> 00:02:08,428 She's found dead at the scene. 49 00:02:08,428 --> 00:02:10,396 But the decedent's injuries indicate 50 00:02:10,396 --> 00:02:12,599 she may have been attacked. 51 00:02:12,599 --> 00:02:15,201 So police dispatch homicide investigators 52 00:02:15,201 --> 00:02:18,104 to the residence. 53 00:02:18,104 --> 00:02:19,806 We arrive at the scene 54 00:02:19,806 --> 00:02:22,242 and enter the house. 55 00:02:22,242 --> 00:02:24,110 Jagtar is located in the living room area, 56 00:02:24,110 --> 00:02:25,612 on the floor. 57 00:02:26,846 --> 00:02:29,816 She had a gaping wound 58 00:02:29,816 --> 00:02:32,285 from ear to ear. 59 00:02:32,285 --> 00:02:34,454 And we could also see some slash marks 60 00:02:34,454 --> 00:02:36,623 on the side of her face. 61 00:02:36,623 --> 00:02:38,625 She had several cuts to her arms. 62 00:02:38,625 --> 00:02:41,361 And then we also saw some... 63 00:02:41,361 --> 00:02:44,264 stab marks around her abdomen area. 64 00:02:44,264 --> 00:02:46,199 It was quickly determined at this point that 65 00:02:46,199 --> 00:02:47,734 foul play was involved... 66 00:02:47,734 --> 00:02:49,569 and we're looking at a homicide. 67 00:02:54,574 --> 00:02:56,776 We get a statement from Mr. Gill 68 00:02:56,776 --> 00:02:59,579 at the Gill residence. 69 00:02:59,579 --> 00:03:01,514 Mr. Gill is extremely emotional over 70 00:03:01,514 --> 00:03:04,250 the death of his wife. 71 00:03:04,250 --> 00:03:06,319 His wife, Jagtar Gill... 72 00:03:06,319 --> 00:03:09,422 was a very loving mother of three children, 73 00:03:09,422 --> 00:03:11,891 aged 9, 12, and 15. 74 00:03:11,891 --> 00:03:13,860 Her life revolved around her children, 75 00:03:13,860 --> 00:03:15,795 taking care of her family. 76 00:03:15,795 --> 00:03:18,331 We ask her husband, Bhupinderpal Gill, 77 00:03:18,331 --> 00:03:20,800 to tell us what happened that morning when Jagtar 78 00:03:20,800 --> 00:03:23,770 is found on the floor of the living room. 79 00:03:23,770 --> 00:03:26,506 Speaking with Mr. Gill, we learned that Jagtar 80 00:03:26,506 --> 00:03:29,209 had hernia surgery on the 28th of January, 81 00:03:29,209 --> 00:03:31,211 one day before the murder. 82 00:03:31,211 --> 00:03:33,880 She's at home on the 29th recovering. 83 00:03:33,880 --> 00:03:35,782 She's resting on the couch. 84 00:03:37,917 --> 00:03:41,955 Mr. Bhupinderpal Gill and his 15-year-old daughter 85 00:03:41,955 --> 00:03:44,924 had been running errands throughout the morning, 86 00:03:44,924 --> 00:03:47,860 One of their last stop was to buy flowers 87 00:03:47,860 --> 00:03:49,462 because it was their... 88 00:03:49,462 --> 00:03:52,365 17th wedding anniversary that day. 89 00:03:52,365 --> 00:03:54,300 And then they also bought a cake. 90 00:03:54,300 --> 00:03:58,204 And then, they just returned home around 1:00 PM. 91 00:03:58,204 --> 00:04:01,741 The 15-year-old had entered the residence first 92 00:04:01,741 --> 00:04:04,611 as Mr. Gill was taking some groceries 93 00:04:04,611 --> 00:04:07,313 out of his vehicle. 94 00:04:07,313 --> 00:04:10,483 Eshana discovers her mom on the floor 95 00:04:10,483 --> 00:04:13,219 in the back of the family room. 96 00:04:13,219 --> 00:04:15,388 She tells her dad immediately... 97 00:04:15,388 --> 00:04:18,291 that there's something wrong with her mom. 98 00:04:18,291 --> 00:04:21,527 She's unable to move or unresponsive. 99 00:04:21,527 --> 00:04:24,264 Eshana makes an attempt to call 9-1-1. 100 00:04:24,264 --> 00:04:26,733 However, the phone doesn't seem to be working. 101 00:04:26,733 --> 00:04:29,669 Mr. Gill then uses his cell phone to call 9-1-1. 102 00:04:32,038 --> 00:04:33,439 The victim's husband 103 00:04:33,439 --> 00:04:35,441 and his 15-year-old daughter, Eshana, 104 00:04:35,441 --> 00:04:36,843 are sent to the police station 105 00:04:36,843 --> 00:04:39,579 to give more detailed statements. 106 00:04:39,579 --> 00:04:43,449 We started taking the photographs of the body. 107 00:04:43,449 --> 00:04:46,653 Noticed an injury to the left wrist. 108 00:04:46,653 --> 00:04:49,856 And we saw that there was additional injuries 109 00:04:49,856 --> 00:04:53,259 to the left palm and the fingers, 110 00:04:53,259 --> 00:04:57,630 which is an indication of defensive wounds. 111 00:04:57,630 --> 00:05:01,000 If someone's being stabbed, they'll have a reaction of 112 00:05:01,000 --> 00:05:03,703 protecting themselves by raising their hands up, 113 00:05:03,703 --> 00:05:06,039 trying to stop the attack. 114 00:05:06,039 --> 00:05:10,943 We also found extreme injuries all over her body. 115 00:05:10,943 --> 00:05:13,646 We also discovered a different pattern that was 116 00:05:13,646 --> 00:05:16,749 repeating itself over the victim's body. 117 00:05:16,749 --> 00:05:19,319 So, it was kind of like a linear pattern. 118 00:05:19,319 --> 00:05:22,555 So this was telling us that a blunt object was 119 00:05:22,555 --> 00:05:26,292 used to assault and hit Mrs. Gill. 120 00:05:26,292 --> 00:05:28,294 We saw that there was a lot of blood 121 00:05:28,294 --> 00:05:30,496 that was visible on the sofa, 122 00:05:30,496 --> 00:05:33,633 as well as on a loveseat that was positioned 123 00:05:33,633 --> 00:05:36,302 across from the sofa. 124 00:05:36,302 --> 00:05:39,505 We swab all the areas that we see blood 125 00:05:39,505 --> 00:05:41,908 to see if there's different bleeders, 126 00:05:41,908 --> 00:05:44,077 and if there were different bleeders, 127 00:05:44,077 --> 00:05:46,045 to identify these people. 128 00:05:46,045 --> 00:05:48,614 The side table overturned with a broken leg and 129 00:05:48,614 --> 00:05:51,484 having the victim laying on top of it, 130 00:05:51,484 --> 00:05:54,987 that was a sign of a struggle to us. 131 00:05:54,987 --> 00:05:57,724 The coffee table too was slightly moved to the side, 132 00:05:57,724 --> 00:06:00,993 also believed to be involved during the struggle as well. 133 00:06:03,730 --> 00:06:06,566 There was a piece of blue latex glove 134 00:06:06,566 --> 00:06:08,901 that was found approximately 135 00:06:08,901 --> 00:06:11,838 three feet from where the victim was found. 136 00:06:11,838 --> 00:06:14,907 We weren't sure if it was left by the killer, 137 00:06:14,907 --> 00:06:16,743 but we seized that piece of evidence 138 00:06:16,743 --> 00:06:18,845 since it was a little bit out of place. 139 00:06:20,546 --> 00:06:23,449 There was also some evidence found in the kitchen. 140 00:06:23,449 --> 00:06:27,387 There was some blood found on the pantry door. 141 00:06:27,387 --> 00:06:31,424 We also saw three knives that were located in the sink, 142 00:06:31,424 --> 00:06:34,093 and those three knives had blood on the handle 143 00:06:34,093 --> 00:06:37,463 and blood on the blade as well. 144 00:06:37,463 --> 00:06:40,466 We suspected that the knives that we found in the sink 145 00:06:40,466 --> 00:06:42,802 were potentially involved in the stabbing, 146 00:06:42,802 --> 00:06:45,938 but the blunt object used to strike Jagtar Gill 147 00:06:45,938 --> 00:06:47,774 was missing. 148 00:06:47,774 --> 00:06:50,943 I located the base for the home phone. 149 00:06:50,943 --> 00:06:53,012 And then I discovered that that base had been 150 00:06:53,012 --> 00:06:55,081 disconnected from the wall. 151 00:06:55,081 --> 00:06:57,083 It was believed that the killer would've unplugged 152 00:06:57,083 --> 00:07:00,119 the phone before the attack to prevent the victim 153 00:07:00,119 --> 00:07:02,655 from calling 9-1-1. 154 00:07:02,655 --> 00:07:04,824 As we examine the house further, 155 00:07:04,824 --> 00:07:06,826 upstairs on the second floor... 156 00:07:06,826 --> 00:07:09,862 in the bedroom, we discover blood. 157 00:07:09,862 --> 00:07:11,798 We saw some blood on the door of the 158 00:07:11,798 --> 00:07:15,067 master closet, as well as on the light switch. 159 00:07:15,067 --> 00:07:16,636 We find a safe... 160 00:07:16,636 --> 00:07:18,805 in the master bedroom. 161 00:07:18,805 --> 00:07:21,174 We check to determine if there's fingerprints that 162 00:07:21,174 --> 00:07:24,076 belong to any potential suspect that would have 163 00:07:24,076 --> 00:07:26,546 committed this crime. 164 00:07:26,546 --> 00:07:29,916 Mr. Gill provided access to his safe. 165 00:07:29,916 --> 00:07:32,118 In the safe, there was some gold jewelry, 166 00:07:32,118 --> 00:07:36,956 and there was about 4 to $5000 of cash. 167 00:07:36,956 --> 00:07:40,593 Mr. Gill advised that there wasn't anything taken. 168 00:07:43,095 --> 00:07:45,665 We thought that the house could have been targeted 169 00:07:45,665 --> 00:07:47,533 for a break and enter. 170 00:07:47,533 --> 00:07:51,170 However, there was no sign of forced entry that we noted. 171 00:07:51,170 --> 00:07:53,940 And the remainder of the house was extremely clean. 172 00:07:53,940 --> 00:07:55,808 Everything was at its place. 173 00:07:58,611 --> 00:08:00,680 As police are holding the home as a crime scene 174 00:08:00,680 --> 00:08:03,950 and processing evidence, entry is restricted to the 175 00:08:03,950 --> 00:08:06,018 investigators and forensic technicians. 176 00:08:06,018 --> 00:08:08,554 The entire family is displaced and required to 177 00:08:08,554 --> 00:08:10,456 move out until further notice. 178 00:08:12,191 --> 00:08:15,461 Jagtar's body is sent for an autopsy. 179 00:08:15,461 --> 00:08:18,831 She had several lacerations to her hands, 180 00:08:18,831 --> 00:08:21,067 wrists, her chest area. 181 00:08:21,067 --> 00:08:24,036 There was also 8 to 10 lacerations 182 00:08:24,036 --> 00:08:25,705 on her head. 183 00:08:25,705 --> 00:08:27,206 All the stab wounds that were located 184 00:08:27,206 --> 00:08:29,742 on her abdomen areas, 185 00:08:29,742 --> 00:08:32,645 as well as to her throat. 186 00:08:32,645 --> 00:08:35,781 And there's unique markings on her forearm, 187 00:08:35,781 --> 00:08:37,850 spiral shaped markings, 188 00:08:37,850 --> 00:08:40,620 that were caused by some form or weapon. 189 00:08:40,620 --> 00:08:43,723 They determine the cause of death was as a result of 190 00:08:43,723 --> 00:08:47,527 injury caused by blunt force trauma to the head, 191 00:08:47,527 --> 00:08:50,930 as well as lacerations to the body. 192 00:08:50,930 --> 00:08:52,832 We're aware of the knives found. 193 00:08:52,832 --> 00:08:55,768 However, we didn't find any blunt force weapons 194 00:08:55,768 --> 00:08:58,104 left at the scene. 195 00:08:58,104 --> 00:08:59,805 With no heavy weapon visible 196 00:08:59,805 --> 00:09:02,108 on the crime scene, and no forced entry, 197 00:09:02,108 --> 00:09:04,644 investigators theorize that the assailant entered the 198 00:09:04,644 --> 00:09:07,146 building holding a weapon, such as a crowbar, 199 00:09:07,146 --> 00:09:09,582 and fled the scene with it. 200 00:09:09,582 --> 00:09:12,184 It's now up to investigators to take every piece of 201 00:09:12,184 --> 00:09:14,921 evidence gathered from the body and from the crime scene 202 00:09:14,921 --> 00:09:17,557 and deduce who killed Jagtar Gill. 203 00:09:17,557 --> 00:09:20,226 The first clue they consider is the intact front door 204 00:09:20,226 --> 00:09:22,028 and the lack of forced entry. 205 00:09:22,028 --> 00:09:24,530 Whoever killed Jagtar didn't break in, 206 00:09:24,530 --> 00:09:26,265 but either came in through an unlocked door, 207 00:09:26,265 --> 00:09:28,167 or had their own key to the house. 208 00:09:30,136 --> 00:09:32,605 Given the fact that Mr. Gill resides in the home 209 00:09:32,605 --> 00:09:34,674 as well, has keys to the home, 210 00:09:34,674 --> 00:09:36,976 he's the first person of interest investigators are 211 00:09:36,976 --> 00:09:39,011 gonna have to eliminate in their inquiry. 212 00:09:39,011 --> 00:09:40,580 He's the 9-1-1 caller. 213 00:09:40,580 --> 00:09:42,682 He's the spouse of the victim. 214 00:09:42,682 --> 00:09:44,850 But we still have to look at him 215 00:09:44,850 --> 00:09:48,688 as potentially being involved in some capacity. 216 00:09:48,688 --> 00:09:50,022 Is there a reason that Mr. Gill 217 00:09:50,022 --> 00:09:52,058 would want his wife dead? 218 00:09:58,497 --> 00:10:01,400 the doors were potentially left unlocked. 219 00:10:01,400 --> 00:10:03,502 He's unsure whether the front door 220 00:10:03,502 --> 00:10:06,339 was left unlocked, as both Mr. Gill 221 00:10:06,339 --> 00:10:08,274 and Eshana left through the garage when they 222 00:10:08,274 --> 00:10:11,043 left for the series of errands that morning. 223 00:10:11,043 --> 00:10:12,812 We asked Mr. Gill if he knew anyone that 224 00:10:12,812 --> 00:10:15,214 would want to hurt his wife in any way, 225 00:10:15,214 --> 00:10:17,783 and he tells us he did not know anybody 226 00:10:17,783 --> 00:10:20,753 that would want to do this to his wife. 227 00:10:20,753 --> 00:10:23,055 We asked him to provide us a detailed account of 228 00:10:23,055 --> 00:10:26,792 everywhere he, he went that day, that morning. 229 00:10:26,792 --> 00:10:30,529 Mr. Gill said that the morning of January 29th, 230 00:10:30,529 --> 00:10:34,667 he got up and got the children ready for school... 231 00:10:34,667 --> 00:10:37,069 because the victim was recovering from 232 00:10:37,069 --> 00:10:38,738 hernia surgery. 233 00:10:38,738 --> 00:10:41,574 The two youngest kids left for school, 234 00:10:41,574 --> 00:10:45,678 and Mr. Gill was renovating in the dining room area... 235 00:10:45,678 --> 00:10:49,315 and just did a few things around the house. 236 00:10:49,315 --> 00:10:52,184 The 15-year-old daughter stayed at home a little bit 237 00:10:52,184 --> 00:10:53,853 because it was during exam time, 238 00:10:53,853 --> 00:10:55,721 and she wanted to study for her exam and 239 00:10:55,721 --> 00:10:58,190 care for her mother at the same time. 240 00:10:58,190 --> 00:11:02,094 Mr. Gill left the residence with his 15-year-old daughter 241 00:11:02,094 --> 00:11:05,498 to run some errands at 11 AM. 242 00:11:05,498 --> 00:11:07,867 He picked up his nephew at his school. 243 00:11:07,867 --> 00:11:10,236 And then he goes to the Sobeys grocery store 244 00:11:10,236 --> 00:11:13,372 to buy flowers and cake for Jagtar. 245 00:11:13,372 --> 00:11:15,441 And after the series of errands, 246 00:11:15,441 --> 00:11:17,810 returned his nephew to his home. 247 00:11:17,810 --> 00:11:21,213 And then Mr. Gill and his daughter returned home. 248 00:11:23,349 --> 00:11:25,685 So when Mr. Gill arrived and found his wife, 249 00:11:25,685 --> 00:11:27,453 he kneeled on the floor and tried to 250 00:11:27,453 --> 00:11:29,188 see what was going on, 251 00:11:29,188 --> 00:11:31,691 and noticed there was some knives around 252 00:11:31,691 --> 00:11:34,560 on the floor next to his wife. 253 00:11:34,560 --> 00:11:36,328 And then at the moment, he decided to 254 00:11:36,328 --> 00:11:38,898 grab the knives and put them in the sink. 255 00:11:41,400 --> 00:11:43,736 He said he did that because he didn't want his kids 256 00:11:43,736 --> 00:11:45,871 to touch the knives. 257 00:11:45,871 --> 00:11:48,574 Investigators know that under duress that 258 00:11:48,574 --> 00:11:51,243 it's not unreasonable for someone not knowing 259 00:11:51,243 --> 00:11:53,546 the rules of evidence to maybe take those 260 00:11:53,546 --> 00:11:56,582 extreme steps to shelter their children. 261 00:11:56,582 --> 00:11:58,918 At the same time, investigators are aware 262 00:11:58,918 --> 00:12:01,253 that these behaviours, even if well-intentioned, 263 00:12:01,253 --> 00:12:02,855 could ultimately harm the integrity of the 264 00:12:02,855 --> 00:12:04,924 investigation downstream. 265 00:12:08,394 --> 00:12:10,863 So when Mr. Gill left with his daughter, 266 00:12:10,863 --> 00:12:13,265 it was around 11:00 AM, 267 00:12:13,265 --> 00:12:18,504 and they returned to the house at 12:58 PM. 268 00:12:18,504 --> 00:12:21,474 So that gave us a two-hour window where we believe 269 00:12:21,474 --> 00:12:24,477 that that's when the murder happened. 270 00:12:24,477 --> 00:12:27,446 Detectives want to speak to Mr. Gill privately, 271 00:12:27,446 --> 00:12:29,315 without his daughter, to get more information 272 00:12:29,315 --> 00:12:31,283 about his relationship with Jagtar, 273 00:12:31,283 --> 00:12:34,286 and their family life. 274 00:12:34,286 --> 00:12:35,755 Things he might not be inclined to discuss 275 00:12:35,755 --> 00:12:37,389 in Eshana's presence. 276 00:12:47,500 --> 00:12:48,968 He explains he's been married with Jagtar 277 00:12:48,968 --> 00:12:51,270 for 17 years. 278 00:12:51,270 --> 00:12:52,772 It was an arranged marriage. 279 00:12:52,772 --> 00:12:55,574 They were both coming from the Sikh community. 280 00:13:00,746 --> 00:13:02,982 He was speaking how he had a great marriage... 281 00:13:02,982 --> 00:13:05,317 and it was a happy family. 282 00:13:20,966 --> 00:13:23,836 Mr. Gill was a local city bus driver. 283 00:13:23,836 --> 00:13:27,907 Also, he was in the business of flipping houses, 284 00:13:27,907 --> 00:13:29,942 so purchasing a house, doing some renovations, 285 00:13:29,942 --> 00:13:32,444 and selling it for a profit. 286 00:13:32,444 --> 00:13:35,548 At the time, Mr. Gill had three mortgages 287 00:13:35,548 --> 00:13:37,316 for three different properties. 288 00:13:37,316 --> 00:13:40,586 But Mr. Gill explained there was no financial issues. 289 00:13:40,586 --> 00:13:43,389 Mr. Gill did provide a detailed story of 290 00:13:43,389 --> 00:13:45,825 where he was that day. 291 00:13:45,825 --> 00:13:50,362 We attend all these locations that Mr. Gill provided. 292 00:13:50,362 --> 00:13:52,431 We collect video at the Sobeys. 293 00:13:53,999 --> 00:13:55,968 It was viewed that Mr. Gill had attended 294 00:13:55,968 --> 00:13:58,537 the Sobeys around 12:40, 295 00:13:58,537 --> 00:14:00,406 just before he returned home. 296 00:14:00,406 --> 00:14:02,975 So, Mr. Gill's alibi was checking in, 297 00:14:02,975 --> 00:14:05,511 within his timeline that he had provided us. 298 00:14:08,047 --> 00:14:09,582 With a confirmed alibi, 299 00:14:09,582 --> 00:14:11,784 detectives remove Mr. Gill as the prime suspect 300 00:14:11,784 --> 00:14:13,886 in the murder of Jagtar Gill, 301 00:14:13,886 --> 00:14:16,288 and begin to use him as an asset for information 302 00:14:16,288 --> 00:14:17,590 to help solve the crime. 303 00:14:28,000 --> 00:14:30,569 When I looked at Sobeys surveillance cameras 304 00:14:30,569 --> 00:14:33,305 again, around 12:40 PM 305 00:14:33,305 --> 00:14:35,875 as Mr. Gill is at the cash, 306 00:14:35,875 --> 00:14:39,445 we see another woman entering the Sobeys and 307 00:14:39,445 --> 00:14:42,882 walking directly towards Mr. Gill's location, 308 00:14:42,882 --> 00:14:45,985 where they engage in conversation. 309 00:14:45,985 --> 00:14:49,922 And they also exit the Sobeys together, talking. 310 00:14:49,922 --> 00:14:51,790 We discovered from Mr. Gill 311 00:14:51,790 --> 00:14:54,326 that the woman was Gurpreet Ronald, 312 00:14:54,326 --> 00:14:56,528 who was a neighbour, and she was established 313 00:14:56,528 --> 00:14:58,697 as being a family friend. 314 00:14:58,697 --> 00:15:00,666 We wanted to talk to Gurpreet. 315 00:15:03,102 --> 00:15:04,837 When we speak with Ms. Ronald, 316 00:15:04,837 --> 00:15:06,772 she was really emphasising 317 00:15:06,772 --> 00:15:09,942 on how they weren't that close of friends. 318 00:15:09,942 --> 00:15:12,778 Ms. Ronald and Mr. Gill have been working together 319 00:15:12,778 --> 00:15:15,447 for at least seven years for the same company 320 00:15:15,447 --> 00:15:17,383 as bus drivers. 321 00:15:17,383 --> 00:15:19,485 She says she knows from being at the park 322 00:15:19,485 --> 00:15:21,020 with her children and their children, 323 00:15:21,020 --> 00:15:23,088 and that's about it. 324 00:15:23,088 --> 00:15:25,991 But she speaks to the Gill family as being also 325 00:15:25,991 --> 00:15:28,327 a very loving and happy couple. 326 00:15:37,970 --> 00:15:39,471 We speak with Ms. Ronald about 327 00:15:39,471 --> 00:15:42,107 her interaction with Mr. Gill at the Sobeys. 328 00:15:42,107 --> 00:15:45,110 She told us she went to the Sobeys to get cauliflower, 329 00:15:45,110 --> 00:15:46,679 and then she saw Gill had three, 330 00:15:46,679 --> 00:15:48,047 so she said, "Oh, I'll just buy one off of him 331 00:15:48,047 --> 00:15:49,615 instead of buying my own." 332 00:16:04,596 --> 00:16:06,498 With no new leads from the Gills' neighbour 333 00:16:06,498 --> 00:16:08,867 as to who might have targeted Jagtar Gill, 334 00:16:08,867 --> 00:16:11,470 investigators consider the valuables found in 335 00:16:11,470 --> 00:16:12,972 the safe in the Gill household, 336 00:16:12,972 --> 00:16:15,774 which could suggest the murder was a botched robbery. 337 00:16:15,774 --> 00:16:17,810 Although they remained secure in the safe, 338 00:16:17,810 --> 00:16:19,812 someone may have been aware that the Gill's 339 00:16:19,812 --> 00:16:21,947 had valuables in their home. 340 00:16:21,947 --> 00:16:24,183 At the time of Jagtar's death, 341 00:16:24,183 --> 00:16:27,753 there had been a series of home break-ins 342 00:16:27,753 --> 00:16:30,823 that were targeting the South Asian community. 343 00:16:30,823 --> 00:16:33,125 And the individuals doing these 344 00:16:33,125 --> 00:16:35,461 were unknown to the police. 345 00:16:35,461 --> 00:16:38,163 If anyone would've been watching the Gill residence 346 00:16:38,163 --> 00:16:40,933 that day with the purpose of breaking into the home, 347 00:16:40,933 --> 00:16:43,836 they would've seen Mr. Gill leave 348 00:16:43,836 --> 00:16:46,739 with his daughter in the vehicle and believe 349 00:16:46,739 --> 00:16:49,441 that there was nobody home. 350 00:16:49,441 --> 00:16:50,843 Detectives begin to wonder whether or not 351 00:16:50,843 --> 00:16:53,112 this would be burglar managed to get into the home 352 00:16:53,112 --> 00:16:56,015 and was then interrupted by Mrs. Gill. 353 00:16:56,015 --> 00:16:57,616 Maybe things escalated, 354 00:16:57,616 --> 00:16:59,184 maybe she recognised him 355 00:16:59,184 --> 00:17:00,753 and could identify him and 356 00:17:00,753 --> 00:17:02,721 he was prepared to take drastic measures. 357 00:17:04,957 --> 00:17:06,658 Sometimes, you know, when we investigate 358 00:17:06,658 --> 00:17:09,128 break and enters, or even robberies at this point, 359 00:17:09,128 --> 00:17:10,896 you don't know the mindset of the suspect 360 00:17:10,896 --> 00:17:13,165 and how far they're willing to go. 361 00:17:13,165 --> 00:17:15,100 So we canvass the neighbourhood 362 00:17:15,100 --> 00:17:17,036 looking for information. 363 00:17:17,036 --> 00:17:20,539 We find out about a large white panel van 364 00:17:20,539 --> 00:17:23,108 with no windows on it that's parked across the street 365 00:17:23,108 --> 00:17:26,478 from the Gill residence the morning of the murder. 366 00:17:26,478 --> 00:17:29,081 Was that van there looking at the Gill residence 367 00:17:29,081 --> 00:17:30,983 or looking at any residence in that area 368 00:17:30,983 --> 00:17:33,685 waiting for people to leave to do break-ins 369 00:17:33,685 --> 00:17:35,554 or steal stuff from residents 370 00:17:35,554 --> 00:17:37,923 in that neighbourhood? 371 00:17:37,923 --> 00:17:41,593 Did this person come into the house for the purpose of 372 00:17:41,593 --> 00:17:45,497 stealing and was confronted by Jagtar 373 00:17:45,497 --> 00:17:49,568 and they ultimately killed Jagtar? 374 00:17:55,441 --> 00:17:59,211 casing a property, it's often done in broad daylight 375 00:17:59,211 --> 00:18:02,214 when burglars know people are at work. 376 00:18:02,214 --> 00:18:04,049 Investigators are now wondering if this is 377 00:18:04,049 --> 00:18:06,618 an organised crew that's pulling off these burglaries 378 00:18:06,618 --> 00:18:09,655 and whether or not this is part of a larger pattern. 379 00:18:09,655 --> 00:18:11,423 A police canvass of the neighbourhood turns up 380 00:18:11,423 --> 00:18:13,225 some witnesses who were able to identify 381 00:18:13,225 --> 00:18:16,428 a white panel van that was seen near the residence 382 00:18:16,428 --> 00:18:19,264 shortly before the murder. 383 00:18:19,264 --> 00:18:21,266 This is a new construction neighbourhood. 384 00:18:21,266 --> 00:18:23,001 Lots of homes under construction, 385 00:18:23,001 --> 00:18:25,938 lots of trades persons in the area. 386 00:18:25,938 --> 00:18:28,340 Individuals who were either involved in the trade or 387 00:18:28,340 --> 00:18:29,942 pretended to be involved in the trade 388 00:18:29,942 --> 00:18:32,344 would be in the area to case houses 389 00:18:32,344 --> 00:18:34,346 for the purpose of breaking into homes 390 00:18:36,682 --> 00:18:40,552 We identify the van that's parked across the street 391 00:18:40,552 --> 00:18:42,387 from the Gill residence, 392 00:18:42,387 --> 00:18:45,057 and we speak to builders in the area 393 00:18:45,057 --> 00:18:46,959 and ask them if they have a tradesperson 394 00:18:46,959 --> 00:18:49,128 that operates a similar vehicle. 395 00:18:49,128 --> 00:18:51,530 And we discover Marco. 396 00:18:51,530 --> 00:18:53,599 He lays tile. 397 00:18:53,599 --> 00:18:55,400 We interviewed Marco. 398 00:18:55,400 --> 00:18:58,070 He told us the reason why he was parked across the street 399 00:18:58,070 --> 00:19:00,672 from the Gill residence the morning of the murder. 400 00:19:00,672 --> 00:19:03,108 He had a scheduled job at a residence on that street 401 00:19:03,108 --> 00:19:05,177 to install ceramic tile 402 00:19:05,177 --> 00:19:07,746 and that job got cancelled that morning. 403 00:19:07,746 --> 00:19:10,082 He tells us that he left the neighbourhood 404 00:19:10,082 --> 00:19:12,451 approximate 9:50 AM. 405 00:19:12,451 --> 00:19:15,621 We confirm that he went to another job. 406 00:19:15,621 --> 00:19:17,723 As a result of Marco's information, 407 00:19:17,723 --> 00:19:20,559 he's ruled out as being a suspect at that time. 408 00:19:24,363 --> 00:19:26,198 Marco is now ruled out, 409 00:19:26,198 --> 00:19:29,434 but the possibility of a burglary gone bad is not. 410 00:19:29,434 --> 00:19:31,603 Investigators now consider whether one of 411 00:19:31,603 --> 00:19:33,272 Mr. Gill's own contractors 412 00:19:33,272 --> 00:19:35,274 could have targeted his home. 413 00:19:35,274 --> 00:19:37,309 Because Mr. Gill is a residential developer, 414 00:19:37,309 --> 00:19:39,478 his business associates may expect him to have 415 00:19:39,478 --> 00:19:42,381 cash in his home to pay them or other vendors. 416 00:19:42,381 --> 00:19:45,284 So is it possible one of Mr. Gill's associates 417 00:19:45,284 --> 00:19:47,586 planned to rob his home, but instead 418 00:19:47,586 --> 00:19:50,189 encountered Jagtar and killed her? 419 00:19:52,591 --> 00:19:54,760 We know that Mr. Gill has what can be 420 00:19:54,760 --> 00:19:57,629 considered a large amount of cash in his house. 421 00:19:57,629 --> 00:19:59,698 Is he dealing with individuals that know 422 00:19:59,698 --> 00:20:01,600 that money's there in the house? 423 00:20:01,600 --> 00:20:03,035 Is he telling other people 424 00:20:03,035 --> 00:20:04,636 that the money's in the house? 425 00:20:04,636 --> 00:20:06,638 So did someone else see him leave that morning 426 00:20:06,638 --> 00:20:08,607 and say, "Okay, here's my opportunity to go 427 00:20:08,607 --> 00:20:12,444 in the house and get that cash?" 428 00:20:12,444 --> 00:20:15,347 We looked closely at the safe, 429 00:20:15,347 --> 00:20:19,418 although there was blood on the door of the master closet 430 00:20:19,418 --> 00:20:21,186 and the light switch, 431 00:20:21,186 --> 00:20:24,056 there was no trace of blood on the safe. 432 00:20:24,056 --> 00:20:25,357 There's no tool marks on it, 433 00:20:25,357 --> 00:20:28,393 no forced entry attempt into the safe. 434 00:20:28,393 --> 00:20:30,362 In the master closet, there was some 435 00:20:30,362 --> 00:20:33,832 gold jewelry in boxes that wasn't taken. 436 00:20:36,535 --> 00:20:38,237 At this point, there's no evidence 437 00:20:38,237 --> 00:20:40,539 to indicate that this murder is motivated by money 438 00:20:40,539 --> 00:20:43,809 or any financial reasons at all. 439 00:20:43,809 --> 00:20:45,377 With the burglary-gone-bad theory 440 00:20:45,377 --> 00:20:47,446 ruled out, investigators need new leads 441 00:20:47,446 --> 00:20:50,182 to determine who killed Jagtar Gill. 442 00:20:50,182 --> 00:20:52,317 Fortunately, as word of the homicide spreads 443 00:20:52,317 --> 00:20:53,652 through the local media, 444 00:20:53,652 --> 00:20:55,554 detectives receive a phone call from a woman 445 00:20:55,554 --> 00:20:58,156 who claims to have information about the case. 446 00:21:01,293 --> 00:21:02,694 A couple days after the murder, 447 00:21:02,694 --> 00:21:04,663 we receive a call in the office from a female 448 00:21:04,663 --> 00:21:06,798 who identifies herself as Savannah Carter, 449 00:21:06,798 --> 00:21:08,567 a clairvoyant. 450 00:21:08,567 --> 00:21:11,870 She tells us that she heard about a murder that happened 451 00:21:11,870 --> 00:21:15,607 in Barrhaven on January 29th and that a voice told her 452 00:21:15,607 --> 00:21:18,110 that the victim was Jagtar. 453 00:21:18,110 --> 00:21:20,345 She informs us that she believes she has some 454 00:21:20,345 --> 00:21:23,448 information that might assist our investigation. 455 00:21:23,448 --> 00:21:24,783 Homicide investigators are often 456 00:21:24,783 --> 00:21:28,787 very leery of working with clairvoyants or 457 00:21:28,787 --> 00:21:31,123 self-described psychics. 458 00:21:31,123 --> 00:21:33,725 Sometimes, unfortunately, all these people are really 459 00:21:33,725 --> 00:21:35,827 trying to do is make a name for themselves, 460 00:21:35,827 --> 00:21:38,864 incentivized by potential celebrity to 461 00:21:38,864 --> 00:21:41,600 insert themselves in these cases. 462 00:21:41,600 --> 00:21:44,369 Based on the fact that most people believe 463 00:21:44,369 --> 00:21:46,338 that it's reading tea leaves. 464 00:21:46,338 --> 00:21:48,273 It's not factual based. 465 00:21:48,273 --> 00:21:50,409 It's not scientifically founded. 466 00:21:50,409 --> 00:21:53,145 But, at this point we decide to put away our doubts 467 00:21:53,145 --> 00:21:55,447 about Savannah Carter and clairvoyants, 468 00:21:55,447 --> 00:21:58,317 because Ms. Carter could provide valuable information. 469 00:21:58,317 --> 00:22:01,420 So we interview Savannah Carter. 470 00:22:01,420 --> 00:22:04,323 Savannah Carter tells us she had some conflict 471 00:22:04,323 --> 00:22:07,459 with Mr. Gill and his neighbour, Ms. Ronald. 472 00:22:07,459 --> 00:22:10,262 Savannah Carter was hired to be a consultant 473 00:22:10,262 --> 00:22:12,164 to do some staging inside 474 00:22:12,164 --> 00:22:14,333 both the Ronald residence and the 475 00:22:14,333 --> 00:22:16,702 Gill residence in order to sell these homes 476 00:22:16,702 --> 00:22:19,571 for a higher financial amount. 477 00:22:19,571 --> 00:22:22,240 But after the sale, Mr. Gill thought he didn't get the 478 00:22:22,240 --> 00:22:25,377 value that he was expecting to get for the sale of a home 479 00:22:25,377 --> 00:22:29,481 as a result of hiring Mrs. Carter. 480 00:22:29,481 --> 00:22:33,652 Mr. Gill accuses Mrs. Carter of scamming him. 481 00:22:33,652 --> 00:22:36,488 As a result of the conflict between Mr. Gill 482 00:22:36,488 --> 00:22:38,890 and Mrs. Carter, it created a conflict 483 00:22:38,890 --> 00:22:42,494 between Ms. Ronald and Mrs. Carter. 484 00:22:42,494 --> 00:22:45,497 And there was a verbal exchange between the two 485 00:22:45,497 --> 00:22:47,599 going back and forth with each other, 486 00:22:47,599 --> 00:22:50,402 accusatory towards her service. 487 00:22:50,402 --> 00:22:52,838 And then, after that, she proceeds to confess 488 00:22:52,838 --> 00:22:55,707 more details about that relationship between 489 00:22:55,707 --> 00:22:58,377 Mr. Gill and Mrs. Ronald. 490 00:22:58,377 --> 00:23:00,846 She tells us she believes both Gurpreet Ronald and 491 00:23:00,846 --> 00:23:02,914 Mr. Gill are potentially involved in 492 00:23:02,914 --> 00:23:05,484 the murder of Jagtar. 493 00:23:05,484 --> 00:23:07,352 That is strange to us. 494 00:23:07,352 --> 00:23:09,521 So, we asked her why she was thinking that. 495 00:23:09,521 --> 00:23:12,924 And then she tells us that Ms. Ronald had informed her 496 00:23:12,924 --> 00:23:15,861 that her and Mr. Gill were having an affair. 497 00:23:17,896 --> 00:23:20,599 She tells us that Ms. Ronald and Mr. Gill didn't know 498 00:23:20,599 --> 00:23:23,235 how they could deal with this affair situation as 499 00:23:23,235 --> 00:23:25,837 both of 'em were married with other individuals. 500 00:23:25,837 --> 00:23:27,939 Mr. Gill didn't believe that divorce 501 00:23:27,939 --> 00:23:29,441 was an option for him. 502 00:23:29,441 --> 00:23:32,477 Financially, he would be ruined, 503 00:23:32,477 --> 00:23:35,447 he would lose his house, his money, 504 00:23:35,447 --> 00:23:37,449 access to his children. 505 00:23:37,449 --> 00:23:40,786 And she tells us that that's why they murdered Jagtar. 506 00:23:43,422 --> 00:23:45,490 We didn't believe that because Mr. Gill 507 00:23:45,490 --> 00:23:47,292 had an alibi because he was 508 00:23:47,292 --> 00:23:49,027 out with his daughter running errands. 509 00:23:49,027 --> 00:23:51,730 And on the surveillance camera, 510 00:23:51,730 --> 00:23:55,934 seeing Ms. Ronald attending the Sobeys at 12:40 511 00:23:55,934 --> 00:23:57,702 on the day of the murder 512 00:23:57,702 --> 00:23:59,604 led us to believe too that she may have 513 00:23:59,604 --> 00:24:01,907 had an alibi that day as well. 514 00:24:01,907 --> 00:24:03,308 At this point, 515 00:24:03,308 --> 00:24:05,577 we're suspicious of Mrs. Carter. 516 00:24:05,577 --> 00:24:08,547 Is the information that Mrs. Carter is providing us 517 00:24:08,547 --> 00:24:10,549 accurate, and could we corroborate it 518 00:24:10,549 --> 00:24:12,350 with other evidence? 519 00:24:12,350 --> 00:24:14,853 Or, is this person just trying to inject themselves 520 00:24:14,853 --> 00:24:17,656 in the investigation to get revenge on Mr. Gill 521 00:24:17,656 --> 00:24:20,425 and Mrs. Ronald because of the conflict? 522 00:24:20,425 --> 00:24:22,461 And is that leading us down rabbit holes? 523 00:24:24,596 --> 00:24:26,031 As detectives consider Savannah Carter's 524 00:24:26,031 --> 00:24:28,567 story about Mrs. Ronald & Mr. Gill, 525 00:24:28,567 --> 00:24:30,702 the police lab completes forensic testing of 526 00:24:30,702 --> 00:24:33,572 evidence found on the crime scene. 527 00:24:33,572 --> 00:24:36,875 We have found that piece of latex glove and 528 00:24:36,875 --> 00:24:38,977 we weren't sure if it was a possibility 529 00:24:38,977 --> 00:24:41,713 that it was left by the killer. 530 00:24:41,713 --> 00:24:44,049 We get the lab results back for the 531 00:24:44,049 --> 00:24:46,318 piece of latex glove, and it has 532 00:24:46,318 --> 00:24:49,588 2 DNA profiles on it. 533 00:24:49,588 --> 00:24:52,958 One profile belonging to Jagtar Gill, 534 00:24:52,958 --> 00:24:56,661 the second profile belonging to an unknown female. 535 00:24:56,661 --> 00:24:59,831 Given the violent nature of this homicide, 536 00:24:59,831 --> 00:25:01,766 it was surprising that perhaps there was 537 00:25:01,766 --> 00:25:03,568 a female involved. 538 00:25:03,568 --> 00:25:05,370 Detectives now wonder if Savannah Carter 539 00:25:05,370 --> 00:25:07,572 was motivated by the conflicts she had with 540 00:25:07,572 --> 00:25:09,441 both Mr. Gill and Gurpreet Ronald 541 00:25:09,441 --> 00:25:13,478 to frame them for a murder she herself committed. 542 00:25:13,478 --> 00:25:15,413 Is Savannah Carter responsible for 543 00:25:15,413 --> 00:25:17,349 the murder of Jagtar Gill? 544 00:25:27,058 --> 00:25:30,128 someone with possible motive to carry out this murder. 545 00:25:30,128 --> 00:25:31,963 The question for investigators is, 546 00:25:31,963 --> 00:25:34,466 did she have the opportunity to commit this murder? 547 00:25:34,466 --> 00:25:37,068 So what investigators need to determine is 548 00:25:37,068 --> 00:25:39,437 the whereabouts of this clairvoyant 549 00:25:39,437 --> 00:25:41,840 between the hours of 11:00 AM and 550 00:25:41,840 --> 00:25:45,477 1:00 PM on Wednesday, January 29th. 551 00:25:45,477 --> 00:25:47,879 We looked into what Savannah Carter did 552 00:25:47,879 --> 00:25:50,081 that morning and that afternoon. 553 00:25:50,081 --> 00:25:52,851 As a result, we confirmed that Savannah Carter was 554 00:25:52,851 --> 00:25:55,987 not in Barrhaven the day of the murder of Jagtar Gill. 555 00:25:55,987 --> 00:25:57,455 She had conducted 556 00:25:57,455 --> 00:26:00,025 a clairvoyant session that morning. 557 00:26:00,025 --> 00:26:02,494 Savannah Carter was removed as a suspect 558 00:26:02,494 --> 00:26:04,362 in the murder of Jagtar Gill. 559 00:26:07,365 --> 00:26:10,635 There was two female profile that were generated from 560 00:26:10,635 --> 00:26:13,939 blood on that piece of glove- the victim, Jagtar Gill, 561 00:26:13,939 --> 00:26:16,408 and the other profile was an unknown female. 562 00:26:16,408 --> 00:26:19,210 Now we definitely look closer to 563 00:26:19,210 --> 00:26:22,447 Ms. Ronald as being a suspect. 564 00:26:22,447 --> 00:26:25,450 And, Ms. Savannah Carter did tell investigator that 565 00:26:25,450 --> 00:26:28,286 Mr. Gill and Ms. Ronald were having an affair. 566 00:26:32,190 --> 00:26:33,925 Was Ms. Ronald involved in 567 00:26:33,925 --> 00:26:36,428 the murder of Jagtar? She has a motive. 568 00:26:36,428 --> 00:26:38,997 It's the wife of the man she's having an affair with. 569 00:26:38,997 --> 00:26:41,066 Did she want to get her out of the picture? 570 00:26:41,066 --> 00:26:43,501 We look into Gurpreet Ronald. 571 00:26:43,501 --> 00:26:45,537 We canvass the neighbourhood 572 00:26:45,537 --> 00:26:47,672 asking about Ms. Ronald. 573 00:26:47,672 --> 00:26:50,942 We learn that her marriage isn't going well. 574 00:26:50,942 --> 00:26:53,511 Her husband sometimes doesn't stay at home. 575 00:26:53,511 --> 00:26:55,180 It looks like he has a girlfriend 576 00:26:55,180 --> 00:26:57,048 outside of the marriage. 577 00:26:57,048 --> 00:26:59,317 She is already in an affair with Mr. Gill. 578 00:26:59,317 --> 00:27:02,220 They seem to be motivated by the same things, financially, 579 00:27:02,220 --> 00:27:05,023 that's make profit off the sale of a house. 580 00:27:05,023 --> 00:27:08,159 And for us, it's a natural course of the investigation, 581 00:27:08,159 --> 00:27:10,662 let's look at this person that has everything 582 00:27:10,662 --> 00:27:13,131 to gain by eliminating Jagtar 583 00:27:13,131 --> 00:27:16,001 out of the equation. 584 00:27:16,001 --> 00:27:18,269 Detectives need evidence that can corroborate 585 00:27:18,269 --> 00:27:20,305 Savannah Carter's claim about the connection 586 00:27:20,305 --> 00:27:22,507 between Mrs. Ronald and Mr. Gill. 587 00:27:22,507 --> 00:27:24,209 And when it comes to infidelity, 588 00:27:24,209 --> 00:27:27,112 frequency of calls and texts are often good indicators 589 00:27:27,112 --> 00:27:30,015 of a relationship's closeness. 590 00:27:30,015 --> 00:27:31,716 We obtained production orders for 591 00:27:31,716 --> 00:27:34,185 phone records for both Ms. Ronald and Mr. Gill. 592 00:27:34,185 --> 00:27:36,254 We don't have the actual text messages 593 00:27:36,254 --> 00:27:37,455 or the phone calls. 594 00:27:37,455 --> 00:27:39,691 We just have the number of communications 595 00:27:39,691 --> 00:27:42,327 between Ronald and Gill. 596 00:27:42,327 --> 00:27:44,396 There's a lot of communication between 597 00:27:44,396 --> 00:27:46,498 Mr. Gill and Mrs. Ronald. 598 00:27:46,498 --> 00:27:49,734 These communications may be simply work-related, 599 00:27:49,734 --> 00:27:53,271 maybe communications related to their pastime of 600 00:27:53,271 --> 00:27:55,473 flipping homes and doing home renovations. 601 00:27:55,473 --> 00:27:57,676 But it's like several hours of communication 602 00:27:57,676 --> 00:28:00,445 through a month between Gill and Ronald. 603 00:28:00,445 --> 00:28:02,313 If a male was speaking to another female that 604 00:28:02,313 --> 00:28:03,615 wasn't their wife for that amount of time, 605 00:28:03,615 --> 00:28:05,350 it better be their mother. 606 00:28:07,552 --> 00:28:09,421 From the time that Mr. Gill left the residence 607 00:28:09,421 --> 00:28:12,424 at 11, and when Ms. Ronald was seen 608 00:28:12,424 --> 00:28:14,759 entering the Sobeys at 12:40, 609 00:28:14,759 --> 00:28:18,063 we have to establish if she had enough time 610 00:28:18,063 --> 00:28:20,565 to go and commit this murder. 611 00:28:21,766 --> 00:28:25,437 Gurpreet Ronald is a neighbour around the corner. 612 00:28:25,437 --> 00:28:28,239 There is a possibility that she sees Mr. Gill 613 00:28:28,239 --> 00:28:30,575 leave that morning with his daughter. 614 00:28:30,575 --> 00:28:32,510 So she knows that 615 00:28:32,510 --> 00:28:34,245 Mr. Gill's now away from the house and 616 00:28:34,245 --> 00:28:37,382 that Jagtar is home alone recovering from surgery. 617 00:28:37,382 --> 00:28:39,617 So there's an opportunity there for her to attend 618 00:28:39,617 --> 00:28:42,120 the Gill residence and kill Jagtar. 619 00:28:42,120 --> 00:28:44,322 And she has motive to do that. 620 00:28:46,057 --> 00:28:47,525 That would have left Gurpreet Ronald more than 621 00:28:47,525 --> 00:28:51,162 90 minutes, between 11AM and 12:40 PM, 622 00:28:51,162 --> 00:28:54,032 when she arrives at the Sobeys, to commit the crime. 623 00:28:54,032 --> 00:28:56,668 If detectives can match her DNA to the sample of the 624 00:28:56,668 --> 00:28:59,671 unknown female's DNA on the blue latex glove, 625 00:28:59,671 --> 00:29:02,307 they can put her at the scene of the murder. 626 00:29:02,307 --> 00:29:07,045 But the missing link is a DNA sample from Mrs. Ronald. 627 00:29:07,045 --> 00:29:09,414 That's where the surveillance team is 628 00:29:09,414 --> 00:29:13,184 responsible to follow Ms. Ronald's move every day 629 00:29:13,184 --> 00:29:15,653 and to see if she's discarding any items 630 00:29:15,653 --> 00:29:19,357 that could potentially generate her DNA and be 631 00:29:19,357 --> 00:29:22,327 compared to the one that we have at the scene. 632 00:29:22,327 --> 00:29:25,396 That could be a cup that she drinks from, 633 00:29:25,396 --> 00:29:28,500 or a piece of gum that she discards 634 00:29:28,500 --> 00:29:32,604 on the sidewalk, etc. 635 00:29:32,604 --> 00:29:35,406 Our surveillance team followed her to this 636 00:29:35,406 --> 00:29:40,078 parking lot in a remote area in the west end of Ottawa. 637 00:29:40,078 --> 00:29:42,847 She goes into the trunk of her vehicle and then 638 00:29:42,847 --> 00:29:47,218 proceeds to walk a short distance down a nature trail. 639 00:29:47,218 --> 00:29:51,222 She returns to her car and leaves the area. 640 00:29:51,222 --> 00:29:52,223 What was she doing? 641 00:29:52,223 --> 00:29:53,391 Was she just going for a walk? 642 00:29:53,391 --> 00:29:54,459 We don't know. 643 00:29:54,459 --> 00:29:57,595 The surveillance officer then decided to go 644 00:29:57,595 --> 00:29:59,731 to see if she had discarded anything, 645 00:29:59,731 --> 00:30:01,833 and nothing was found at the time. 646 00:30:01,833 --> 00:30:03,535 We're suspicious of Mrs. Ronald, 647 00:30:03,535 --> 00:30:05,503 but we have zero evidence linking her to 648 00:30:05,503 --> 00:30:07,839 the murder of Jagtar Gill. 649 00:30:07,839 --> 00:30:10,108 Investigators are at a crossroads. 650 00:30:10,108 --> 00:30:12,510 Gurpreet Ronald is a serious person of interest, 651 00:30:12,510 --> 00:30:14,879 but so far there's no proof she's the killer. 652 00:30:14,879 --> 00:30:17,315 The Gill residence, however, is still under 653 00:30:17,315 --> 00:30:19,684 police supervision as an active crime scene, 654 00:30:19,684 --> 00:30:22,253 and Mr. Gill and his children continue to reside 655 00:30:22,253 --> 00:30:23,488 outside the home. 656 00:30:23,488 --> 00:30:26,758 So detectives return to the crime scene to search for any 657 00:30:26,758 --> 00:30:28,693 fragment they may have been overlooked 658 00:30:28,693 --> 00:30:31,629 that might implicate Gurpreet Ronald. 659 00:30:31,629 --> 00:30:33,364 But at this point we still don't know 660 00:30:33,364 --> 00:30:37,569 what inflicted the blunt force trauma to Jagtar. 661 00:30:37,569 --> 00:30:40,538 I still have the tread pattern on her body kept 662 00:30:40,538 --> 00:30:44,776 in mind while searching the residence. 663 00:30:44,776 --> 00:30:48,179 We spent several days in the residence 664 00:30:48,179 --> 00:30:50,281 not only looking for evidence, 665 00:30:50,281 --> 00:30:53,418 but also looking for the second weapon 666 00:30:53,418 --> 00:30:56,254 that would've inflicted those injuries. 667 00:30:56,254 --> 00:30:59,657 Searching the basement, I came across a large box 668 00:30:59,657 --> 00:31:01,893 that had a fake Christmas tree in it. 669 00:31:01,893 --> 00:31:04,429 And then once I opened that box, 670 00:31:04,429 --> 00:31:07,799 there was a metal weightlifting bar that's 671 00:31:07,799 --> 00:31:10,201 about two feet long 672 00:31:10,201 --> 00:31:13,171 and had the tread pattern on each end 673 00:31:13,171 --> 00:31:17,375 where you would've had to screw in the weights. 674 00:31:17,375 --> 00:31:19,777 It matched the injuries that Jagtar Gill 675 00:31:19,777 --> 00:31:22,313 had on her forearms and her legs. 676 00:31:24,382 --> 00:31:26,317 When I looked at it, there was a significant 677 00:31:26,317 --> 00:31:28,553 amount of dry blood on the bar. 678 00:31:28,553 --> 00:31:30,755 There was also a little bit of dark hair 679 00:31:30,755 --> 00:31:32,857 on the bar as well. 680 00:31:32,857 --> 00:31:36,227 So we carefully seized it for DNA analysis. 681 00:31:38,763 --> 00:31:40,732 Once we received the analysis of that bar 682 00:31:40,732 --> 00:31:41,799 it was established that it was 683 00:31:41,799 --> 00:31:43,801 Jagtar's blood on the bar. 684 00:31:43,801 --> 00:31:45,503 So we had found our second weapon 685 00:31:45,503 --> 00:31:47,772 that was used on the murder. 686 00:31:47,772 --> 00:31:50,308 Who put the bar there in this Christmas tree box? 687 00:31:50,308 --> 00:31:51,876 And how are we going to find out? 688 00:31:51,876 --> 00:31:53,444 We can't leave the bar there. 689 00:31:53,444 --> 00:31:54,846 It's valuable evidence. 690 00:31:54,846 --> 00:31:57,982 So we find a replacement bar to put in the box. 691 00:31:57,982 --> 00:32:02,654 We put sheep's blood on it, we put some hair on it, 692 00:32:02,654 --> 00:32:04,656 and we put it back in the Christmas tree box and 693 00:32:04,656 --> 00:32:07,325 put that scene back the way it was. 694 00:32:07,325 --> 00:32:09,894 We get a warrant to install a hidden camera 695 00:32:09,894 --> 00:32:12,530 in the basement to secretly record 696 00:32:12,530 --> 00:32:15,533 anyone who comes into the basement to retrieve that, 697 00:32:15,533 --> 00:32:17,936 uh, that steel bar. 698 00:32:17,936 --> 00:32:20,905 We wanted to see if Mr. Gill had 699 00:32:20,905 --> 00:32:23,274 any knowledge about the bar. 700 00:32:23,274 --> 00:32:26,010 Once the forensic examination of the house was completed, 701 00:32:26,010 --> 00:32:27,979 Mr. Gill was advised that he could return home 702 00:32:27,979 --> 00:32:30,615 and was given his house keys back. 703 00:32:30,615 --> 00:32:32,583 But the one thing that Mr. Gill doesn't know 704 00:32:32,583 --> 00:32:34,585 is that we have surveillance cameras 705 00:32:34,585 --> 00:32:36,854 installed in his basement. 706 00:32:36,854 --> 00:32:38,723 That's when we saw something 707 00:32:38,723 --> 00:32:40,558 that was a shock to us. 708 00:32:49,467 --> 00:32:51,269 at our police office. 709 00:32:51,269 --> 00:32:54,005 We observe Mr. Gill go down into his basement, 710 00:32:54,005 --> 00:32:56,441 walk straight over to the Christmas tree box, 711 00:32:56,441 --> 00:33:00,178 and he removes the bar from the box. 712 00:33:00,178 --> 00:33:02,213 He appears to be looking for a way to hide it on 713 00:33:02,213 --> 00:33:05,216 his person to get the bar out of the basement. 714 00:33:05,216 --> 00:33:08,186 He doesn't seem to be able to find a way. 715 00:33:08,186 --> 00:33:10,989 Gives up and puts the bar back at the exact same spot 716 00:33:10,989 --> 00:33:13,391 that it was in the Christmas tree box. 717 00:33:13,391 --> 00:33:15,460 We kind of started questioning whether 718 00:33:15,460 --> 00:33:18,162 Mr. Gill had a role in this. 719 00:33:18,162 --> 00:33:19,864 On a subsequent day, 720 00:33:19,864 --> 00:33:21,899 Mr. Gill goes to the basement. 721 00:33:21,899 --> 00:33:23,501 Once again, removes the bar. 722 00:33:23,501 --> 00:33:26,404 This time, puts it down his pants, 723 00:33:26,404 --> 00:33:28,806 and he appears to be doing 724 00:33:28,806 --> 00:33:30,375 a test on whether he can 725 00:33:30,375 --> 00:33:33,111 walk around with this bar down his pants. 726 00:33:33,111 --> 00:33:35,947 And ultimately, he walks out of the basement, 727 00:33:35,947 --> 00:33:38,416 up the stairs with the steel bar down his pants. 728 00:33:41,185 --> 00:33:45,289 Mr. Gill exits his house with the steel bar on his person. 729 00:33:45,289 --> 00:33:47,191 We have undercover surveillance officers 730 00:33:47,191 --> 00:33:49,060 out front who watch Mr. Gill 731 00:33:49,060 --> 00:33:51,195 as he opens the trunk, 732 00:33:51,195 --> 00:33:54,932 and is seen putting the steel bar in his trunk. 733 00:33:58,069 --> 00:34:00,171 Mr. Gill drives away a short distance, 734 00:34:00,171 --> 00:34:02,240 a few kilometres up the road. 735 00:34:02,240 --> 00:34:04,575 He's observed removing the steel bar from the trunk of 736 00:34:04,575 --> 00:34:07,378 his car and throwing it into a field 737 00:34:07,378 --> 00:34:09,180 from the side of the road. 738 00:34:09,180 --> 00:34:10,848 And then he drives away. 739 00:34:10,848 --> 00:34:12,950 And then that's when we attend and retrieve 740 00:34:12,950 --> 00:34:16,287 that fake bar that Mr. Gill had disposed of. 741 00:34:16,287 --> 00:34:19,190 Investigators now have evidence that Mr. Gill 742 00:34:19,190 --> 00:34:22,093 is an accessory in the murder of his wife. 743 00:34:22,093 --> 00:34:24,295 But they hold off on arresting Gill until they can 744 00:34:24,295 --> 00:34:27,832 also confirm he had motive and opportunity to kill his wife, 745 00:34:27,832 --> 00:34:30,368 or hired someone to do so. 746 00:34:32,437 --> 00:34:34,439 We look into the Gill marriage. 747 00:34:34,439 --> 00:34:38,342 And we speak to friends of Jagtar. 748 00:34:38,342 --> 00:34:40,845 They tell us that Jagtar wasn't happy. 749 00:34:40,845 --> 00:34:43,915 Mr. Gill was keeping her away from her extended family. 750 00:34:43,915 --> 00:34:46,284 And she wanted to get out of this arranged marriage 751 00:34:46,284 --> 00:34:48,252 that she was in. 752 00:34:48,252 --> 00:34:50,988 Divorce would've been a very costly way 753 00:34:50,988 --> 00:34:53,491 for Mr. Gill to end his marriage to Jagtar, 754 00:34:53,491 --> 00:34:56,227 given that she was legally entitled to 755 00:34:56,227 --> 00:34:58,396 50% of his net worth. 756 00:34:58,396 --> 00:35:01,966 We now know that Mr. Gill had a motive to be 757 00:35:01,966 --> 00:35:05,870 involved in the execution of the death of his wife. 758 00:35:05,870 --> 00:35:08,406 But we don't know who actually did this murder. 759 00:35:08,406 --> 00:35:11,909 Was it Gurpreet Ronald? 760 00:35:11,909 --> 00:35:15,379 Although Ms. Ronald is a suspect in this crime, 761 00:35:15,379 --> 00:35:17,548 we don't have any hard evidence 762 00:35:17,548 --> 00:35:20,251 to link her to the homicide. 763 00:35:20,251 --> 00:35:21,919 To confirm their theory, 764 00:35:21,919 --> 00:35:24,555 police still need a DNA sample from their suspect, 765 00:35:24,555 --> 00:35:27,158 to compare to the unknown female sample found on 766 00:35:27,158 --> 00:35:30,628 the severed glove tip recovered at the crime scene. 767 00:35:30,628 --> 00:35:32,964 We continue surveillance on Ms. Ronald 768 00:35:32,964 --> 00:35:35,399 in hopes that she discards anything 769 00:35:35,399 --> 00:35:38,169 that would contain her DNA. 770 00:35:38,169 --> 00:35:40,037 The surveillance team follows Ms. Ronald 771 00:35:40,037 --> 00:35:42,974 for almost two weeks without being able to get 772 00:35:42,974 --> 00:35:45,143 a castoff sample from her. 773 00:35:45,143 --> 00:35:46,511 We didn't want to tip our cards that 774 00:35:46,511 --> 00:35:50,114 we were looking at her as a suspect. 775 00:35:50,114 --> 00:35:52,183 So we needed to come up with a new way 776 00:35:52,183 --> 00:35:55,086 to collect her DNA. 777 00:35:55,086 --> 00:35:57,922 We decided to write a general warrant 778 00:35:57,922 --> 00:36:00,525 that would give legal permission to go onto 779 00:36:00,525 --> 00:36:03,094 Ms. Ronald's property and kind of do 780 00:36:03,094 --> 00:36:06,230 an undercover play to obtain her DNA. 781 00:36:06,230 --> 00:36:09,133 The undercover officer goes to her house 782 00:36:09,133 --> 00:36:12,470 portraying herself as working for one of the 783 00:36:12,470 --> 00:36:15,106 home builder in the area conducting a survey 784 00:36:15,106 --> 00:36:17,175 with the new homeowners. 785 00:36:17,175 --> 00:36:19,310 Ms. Ronald fills out the survey. 786 00:36:19,310 --> 00:36:22,380 The undercover officer asked Ms. Ronald to 787 00:36:22,380 --> 00:36:25,316 seal her survey into the envelope 788 00:36:25,316 --> 00:36:27,518 and lick the envelope, which she did. 789 00:36:27,518 --> 00:36:29,554 And this is how we successfully got 790 00:36:29,554 --> 00:36:31,422 Ms. Ronald's DNA. 791 00:36:33,324 --> 00:36:36,727 We send the envelope to the lab to have it 792 00:36:36,727 --> 00:36:40,131 analysed and develop a DNA profile to compare to 793 00:36:40,131 --> 00:36:43,000 the DNA profile at the scene. 794 00:36:43,000 --> 00:36:45,036 As a result of that examination, 795 00:36:45,036 --> 00:36:48,706 Gurpreet Ronald is identified as the source of 796 00:36:48,706 --> 00:36:51,042 the unknown female blood at the crime scene. 797 00:36:56,347 --> 00:36:57,715 Gurpreet Ronald is charged with 798 00:36:57,715 --> 00:37:01,152 first degree murder for the murder of Jagtar Gill. 799 00:37:42,159 --> 00:37:44,528 Gurpreet Ronald ultimately refuses to 800 00:37:44,528 --> 00:37:47,231 cooperate and disclose what role, if any, 801 00:37:47,231 --> 00:37:50,701 Mr. Gill had in his wife's murder. 802 00:37:50,701 --> 00:37:52,570 We think Bhupinderpal Gill believes 803 00:37:52,570 --> 00:37:55,740 he's gotten away with any culpability of 804 00:37:55,740 --> 00:37:59,543 being involved in the murder of his wife. 805 00:37:59,543 --> 00:38:01,579 For now, all investigators can prove 806 00:38:01,579 --> 00:38:03,714 is that Mr. Gill had a financial motive to 807 00:38:03,714 --> 00:38:05,750 kill his wife and that he concealed and 808 00:38:05,750 --> 00:38:08,152 disposed of evidence in his basement. 809 00:38:08,152 --> 00:38:10,187 But they still have no hard proof he was 810 00:38:10,187 --> 00:38:13,491 directly involved in the execution of the murder. 811 00:38:13,491 --> 00:38:16,060 But investigators have the advantage. 812 00:38:16,060 --> 00:38:17,528 With Mrs. Ronald in custody, 813 00:38:17,528 --> 00:38:20,131 Mr. Gill has no idea what she might say to them 814 00:38:20,131 --> 00:38:21,832 about his involvement in the murder. 815 00:38:21,832 --> 00:38:23,668 So detectives continue to delay 816 00:38:23,668 --> 00:38:27,338 arresting Mr. Gill and devise a new plan. 817 00:38:27,338 --> 00:38:30,574 We create a situation where he's going to 818 00:38:30,574 --> 00:38:32,610 demonstrate his involvement 819 00:38:32,610 --> 00:38:34,545 in the murder of his wife. 820 00:38:34,545 --> 00:38:36,814 We do a media release about the replacement bar 821 00:38:36,814 --> 00:38:39,250 asking if anyone had any information about 822 00:38:39,250 --> 00:38:41,752 a steel bar that was found in a farmer's field. 823 00:38:41,752 --> 00:38:44,155 We kind of hint to the media 824 00:38:44,155 --> 00:38:46,357 that it may be related to the Gill homicide. 825 00:38:46,357 --> 00:38:49,393 So, let's see how Gill reacts to this information. 826 00:38:49,393 --> 00:38:51,095 Is he going to think that Ronald told us the 827 00:38:51,095 --> 00:38:54,131 whole story and he's going to try to get in front of it? 828 00:38:56,801 --> 00:38:59,337 At this stage, we had already made a decision 829 00:38:59,337 --> 00:39:00,838 if he reaches out to us, 830 00:39:00,838 --> 00:39:02,606 we're going to arrest him. 831 00:39:02,606 --> 00:39:03,841 He calls us. He says, 832 00:39:03,841 --> 00:39:06,143 "I want to talk to you guys about the bar." 833 00:39:06,143 --> 00:39:07,812 Police arrest Bhupinderpal Gill and 834 00:39:07,812 --> 00:39:10,548 charge him with first degree murder in relation to 835 00:39:10,548 --> 00:39:12,683 planning the murder of his wife 836 00:39:12,683 --> 00:39:15,252 and attempting to dispose evidence. 837 00:39:18,356 --> 00:39:20,424 We begin an interview process with him 838 00:39:20,424 --> 00:39:22,226 after his arrest. 839 00:40:09,306 --> 00:40:10,441 We present him with various facts 840 00:40:10,441 --> 00:40:11,542 of the investigation. 841 00:40:54,351 --> 00:40:55,519 He doesn't confess. 842 00:40:58,522 --> 00:41:00,424 Even though Mr. Gill doesn't confess, 843 00:41:00,424 --> 00:41:02,726 we now know exactly what happened that morning. 844 00:41:05,262 --> 00:41:08,532 Around 11 AM, Mr. Gill ensured that 845 00:41:08,532 --> 00:41:12,536 no one was going to be present at the house. 846 00:41:12,536 --> 00:41:13,904 That's when he invited his daughter 847 00:41:13,904 --> 00:41:16,707 to accompany him to run errands. 848 00:41:16,707 --> 00:41:17,908 Mrs. Gill's on the couch, 849 00:41:17,908 --> 00:41:22,313 most likely sleeping as she recovered from the surgery. 850 00:41:22,313 --> 00:41:24,014 Mr. Gill instructs his daughter to leave 851 00:41:24,014 --> 00:41:26,684 through the garage, which she does. 852 00:41:26,684 --> 00:41:29,954 We believe he leaves the steel bar at the front door 853 00:41:29,954 --> 00:41:33,757 and the front door was left unlocked allowing access 854 00:41:33,757 --> 00:41:37,528 for Gurpreet Ronald to enter the house undetected. 855 00:41:37,528 --> 00:41:40,664 He drives past Gurpreet Ronald's house. 856 00:41:40,664 --> 00:41:41,999 He waves to Gurpreet Ronald, 857 00:41:41,999 --> 00:41:45,436 signaling to her that the coast is clear. 858 00:41:45,436 --> 00:41:47,404 Then Ms. Ronald entered the unlocked 859 00:41:47,404 --> 00:41:49,373 front door, grabbed the bar... 860 00:41:49,373 --> 00:41:51,475 And then attacked Jagtar Gill, 861 00:41:51,475 --> 00:41:54,645 and striking her repeatedly over the head. 862 00:41:54,645 --> 00:41:57,381 But it's not sufficient enough to kill her. 863 00:41:57,381 --> 00:41:59,950 She decides to grab a knife... 864 00:41:59,950 --> 00:42:02,620 and then starts stabbing Jagtar and then keeps 865 00:42:02,620 --> 00:42:06,590 continuing with the stabbing, killing Jagtar. 866 00:42:06,590 --> 00:42:08,359 Gurpreet Ronald cuts herself. 867 00:42:08,359 --> 00:42:10,594 She bleeds on a piece of latex glove 868 00:42:10,594 --> 00:42:12,963 that's left behind at the scene. 869 00:42:12,963 --> 00:42:16,433 And goes and notifies Gill at the Sobeys. 870 00:42:19,770 --> 00:42:23,374 In 2016, Bhupinderpal Gill and Gurpreet Ronald 871 00:42:23,374 --> 00:42:24,942 are convicted of first degree murder, 872 00:42:24,942 --> 00:42:28,312 both sentenced to life in jail without 873 00:42:28,312 --> 00:42:30,447 the possibility of parole for 25 years. 874 00:42:34,552 --> 00:42:37,655 This case was heavily involved with forensic 875 00:42:37,655 --> 00:42:40,491 and investigative techniques. 876 00:42:40,491 --> 00:42:42,726 The phone records, the steel bar, 877 00:42:42,726 --> 00:42:45,796 the video surveillance, the DNA at the crime scene. 878 00:42:45,796 --> 00:42:47,064 We gathered the evidence. 879 00:42:47,064 --> 00:42:48,766 We got the conviction. 880 00:42:48,766 --> 00:42:51,802 And it was successful all around. 881 00:42:51,802 --> 00:42:53,671 This is one of the most 882 00:42:53,671 --> 00:42:56,807 tragic homicide that I've worked on. 883 00:42:56,807 --> 00:42:59,443 And the reason why I do what I do 884 00:42:59,443 --> 00:43:01,812 is to be able to provide answers 885 00:43:01,812 --> 00:43:03,781 to the victim's family. 886 00:43:03,781 --> 00:43:06,083 And in this case, give the Gill family peace 887 00:43:06,083 --> 00:43:08,686 to continue with their grieving for the loss of 888 00:43:08,686 --> 00:43:10,120 Jagtar Gill.
