Photos released regarding the death of Maple Batalia

On January 13 the Integrated Homicide Investigation Team (IHIT) requesting help from the SFU community in identifying bystanders from two security camera screenshots.

The email, with the subject line, “Maple Batalia Investigation”, explained that the email was being sent to SFU students on behalf of the lead investigator on the case. It also explained that due to newly obtained security tape footage, they have screenshots of people who were present near the time of the incident. They believe these individuals can be of assistance in the case and are requesting the help of the SFU community to identify them.

SFU’s Director of Public Affairs and Media Relations Don MacLachlan made it clear that those in question are not person’s of interest of suspects in the case.  In an interview with The Province he said, “They just happened to be in the general area of where the crime was committed around the general time.

“What IHIT is hoping is that maybe one of them saw something, heard something, noticed something, spotted a stranger        . . . anything, absolutely anything that might enable IHIT to put that tiny piece of information together with another piece of information and make another step forward in the investigation.”

The IHIT needs help from the SFU community and if there is any information on the people in these photos, tips will be accepted at the IHIT Tip Line at 1-877-551-4448, or through Corporal Mike Pacholuk at 1-607-702-4069.

Sometimes, the latter two approaches become no longer effective when cancers become drug resistant, allowing the cells to further spread. At the University of Calgary, however, promising developments in immunotherapy intervention seek to provide alternative treatment when common therapies are not viable.  Cells continually divide to replenish dying cells, but certain gene mutations can create cancer cells, which divide and spread in an uncontrolled manner. The human body naturally defends itself from cancerous cells, though sometimes they can “hide from the immune system and avoid being destroyed,” according to the Canadian Cancer Society.
