The man currently sought by police in connection with the March 3 murder of a mother of five in Vancouver has a history of violence and rape in Chilliwack.
A $10,000 reward was put up for information leading to the arrest of Daniel Alphonse Paul, 42, who is wanted after 36-year-old Crystal Rose Paul was found dead in an East Vancouver basement suite.
Paul's criminal record goes back to 1987. It includes assault convictions in 1993, 1995, 1997, 1998, 2001, but his most violent crime was in 2002.
In 2003, a jury found Paul guilty of sexually assaulting a woman he knew in her Vedder Crossing home. He beat the woman, forced her to perform various sex acts, used a knife to scratch her neck and threatened to kill her.
After his conviction, Crown counsel sought to have Paul designated a dangerous offender, which carries with it an indefinite jail sentence.
The court heard that Paul's behaviour established a pattern of violence that put the public at risk.
However, while Paul met the definition of being a dangerous offender, Justice William Grist found that Paul also could be classified as a long-term offender. That designation requires long-term supervision after jail rather than an indefinite prison sentence.
While a clinical psychologist wrote that Paul scored "high" on the psychopathy index, and three psychologists found he presented a high or moderate-to-high risk of reoffending, one noted that the risk was lessened if he participated in treatment programs.
Grist stated that there was a "reasonable prospect" that his risk to the public could be managed and designated Paul a long-term offender.
Paul was sentenced to four years in jail (including two years time served), to be followed by five years of community supervision.
But in 2011, Paul was charged with breaching the conditions of his supervision four times—twice by consuming alcohol and twice by failing to reside as directed.
He was sentenced to 18 months in jail for that breach, and was back on the streets in 2013.
Police now believe Paul may have crossed the border into the U.S. and continues to evade authorities. Contrary to a report by American network CBS briefly online on Friday, Paul was not the individual shot dead by a U.S. border guard on March 20.
Paul is described as aboriginal, five feet, eight inches tall, with a medium build, brown eyes and short black hair. On his left arm, he has tattoos of an eagle, a rat, a knife, a skull and a buffalo. On his right arm, he has tattoos of a skull with a rose and a heart.
Anyone with information about Paul's whereabouts is asked to call 9-1-1 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477.
Thoughts? In case anyone was wondering, the man killed at the border was another murder suspect named Jamison Childress. The media, rather than waiting, apparently decided it was Paul before any confirmation. *sigh*
Also, for anyone wondering, Aboriginal just means native. It's just a different term than what the US uses for natives.
Paul has a very long and very violent criminally history, especially towards women. He MUST be caught.
