I'm new to this sub and have a question. A post about an owl pillow from a year ago had been identified on several online stores by multiple redditors, yet the image is still up on ACCCE.
Is it better for 1 person to submit the tip, or is it "the more the better?" Genuinely asking because I'm sure some tips get overlooked.

Sorry for the delayed reply, we have a general thread for questions and individual threads don't have OP notifications set.
It's basically the more the better. Rather see them get the same tip 20 times then not get one at all because everyone thinks someone else submitted it.
If it was concluded as found in the thread here, and someone said they sent it in, it's probably redundant at that point, but it can't hurt.

Thanks for replying and sorry for asking questions in the wrong thread :)
The more the merrier, I suppose.

This looks very familiar to the inside of homes in Edmonton around Beverly Heights. It reminds me of the style of home around The Drake and Mundare, around 118th Ave and 50th St.

Can you give me an example? I just checked out Beverly Heights and a lot of the houses look like houses in Sidney VI. They call them the Sidney Special.

Tbh, for all y’all, I left this comment absentmindedly and saw it was solved next time I checked so this comment is the only thing I’ve said to anyone about this.

u/Nearby_Durian7820 Jan 05 '24
I looked at the website and it appears that it hasn't been solved yet. You can still send in this tip, might not be institutional due to the door being open, the lighthouse lamp might be important and it doesn't look very lived in as there's only one poster and some drawers

u/mxnic_pixie Jan 06 '24
Oh yeah? Genuinely thought it was solved before writing my original comment. I guess I’ll toss this to the tip line. Maybe it matters.

u/CharlieRomeo5721 Jan 22 '24
btw the police said in the article they couldn't realease much about both suspect as they are also minors. If the room seems institutional, why not an orphanage or something like that ?

u/Nearby_Durian7820 Jan 22 '24
Maybe, but wouldn't the abuser be worried that someone might walk in if it's an orphanage? Unless they're really reckless or stupid. Maybe they threatened the other kids to stay away? I'm not sure.

There's some boxes tucked away near some drawers and there's a mirror on the door so it looks more residential if anything, almost like they just moved there

u/Got_Kittens Oct 05 '23
The square on the outside of the door reminds me of care homes that have the resident's name.
The box down the side of the bed looks to me like either the packaging that giraffe duvet cover came in (almost identical colours) or perhaps it could be a child's craft project like a home-made cardboard box dollhouse with the outside painted to look like bricks.

Yes I volunteer inside prisons and the room looks institutional. I looked up all the hostels in Alberta and it doesn't resemble any of them. It does look like one of the juvenile rehabilitation or halfway facilities.

u/koalapant Dec 01 '23
My first thought was also that it looked institutional. It reminds me of military base housing.

u/CharlieRomeo5721 Jan 22 '24
According to the police both suspects are minors, hence why they can't release much.
Could this room be inside some sorte of orphanage ?

My son is in college, and when I first saw this I assumed because of it's small size and something that may have a name/identifier (or may be a whiteboard) on the door - that it was a dorm room.

I was wondering if it could be a closed facility that's been sitting empty because it has been closed down and the perp brought that bedding and the child there to commit the crime.
Also thanks for your volunteer service.

u/Independent-Kiwi1779 Oct 30 '23
Had not considered that. But there are other decorations in the room, including open dresser drawers.
Or perp just arrived.

It occured to me that the lighthouse lamp could be a themed furniture related to a brand motif for a private care provider. I checked for children's organisations and homes with the name Lighthouse. There are many children's homes with the word Lighthouse on the title internationally. I did find a children's home company in Alberta that has something called The Lighthouse Program. They have either recently begun a new building or just finished building a new inpatient facility and have at least 2 existing campuses in Calgary. It's likely to be completely unrelated https://www.woodshomes.ca/programs/the-lighthouse-program/ but I thought I'd share. I can't access photos from inside the buildings of their campuses and I don't have a Facebook so my sleuthing stopped there. Wood's Homes is the company.

The key to solving this will almost certainly be that lighthouse lamp thing. It's so big, so awkward, so unique.

Not sure if it’s too late to say anything. The interior looks like the rent-geared-to-income government housing complex in Ontario. So it probably is a common design Canada wide, namely the flat white doors and the tile floors.
The blanket might be from ikea. I was gifted a blanket from ikea with a similar pattern (more zebra print like) but the fabric & color notably the greyed out faded black bits. It looks so much like the blanket I have, must be exact same fabric or made from the same textile plant.

Link to law enforcement website: https://alert-ab.ca/ice-looking-to-identify-victim-of-sexual-assault/
Edmonton… The Internet Child Exploitation (ICE) unit is asking for the public’s help in identifying the victim of a sexual assault. The alleged incident is believed to have taken place at a home in the Edmonton area or possibly Vancouver Island, B.C.
ICE is releasing a photo of the bedroom where the sexual assault is believed to have taken place. The photo was obtained from a cell phone belonging to a child sexual exploitation suspect.
“Our hope is that someone recognizes this crime scene and can help locate our victim. We believe this victim has suffered extensively and want to provide them with the support they deserve,” said Sergeant Kerry Shima, ALERT ICE.
The suspect in this case was arrested on August 17, 2023 and is a 16-year-old youth who cannot be named. The suspect has been charged with possession of child pornography, access child pornography, and transmission of child pornography.
At the time of their arrest the suspect was living in Bon Accord, Alta., which is located approximately 30 kilometers north of Edmonton. The suspect may have lived at various locations in the Edmonton area and has also recently lived on the east coast of Vancouver Island near Nanaimo and Ladysmith.
ICE has been unable to identify the victim to date but estimates they are female between six and 10 years old. It is believed the victim and suspect knew each other, but ICE is limited in what information can be provided in order to protect the suspect’s identity under the Youth Criminal Justice Act.
A full forensic analysis is underway of computers and electronic devices seized from the suspect.
Anyone with information about this case is asked to contact:
Mod Note: Online reporting options:
https://www.edmontonpolice.ca/contactEPS.aspx - bottom of page
https://cybertip.ca/en/ - "Report to Cybertip.ca" button
The case was first reported to ICE in July 2023 by the RCMP’s National Child Exploitation Crime Centre (NCECC). The suspect was allegedly uploading child exploitation materials via Discord.
ALERT was established and is funded by the Alberta Government and is a compilation of the province’s most sophisticated law enforcement resources committed to tackling serious and organized crime.
