Murder charge expected in slaying
Police won't say if they found the body of a missing Sarnia woman
By Amanda ROBINSON, Sun Media, Wed., August 8, 2007
A Sarnia man and a Wyoming woman face charges in the slaying
of a missing Sarnia woman.
Sarnia police would not say yesterday if they found the body
of 45-year-old Shelley
MATHIEU-
READ, reported missing by a family
member on July 29.
The family member hadn't seen her since May.
MATHIEU-
READ was a drug addict who was living at 64 Finch Doctor in
Sarnia, police said.
Police▼ said foul play was involved in
MATHIEU-
READ's death but
they did not release details about the cause.
A 36-year-old Sarnia man was arrested yesterday morning in downtown
London and will be charged with murder, police said.
A 54-year-old Wyoming woman was arrested at a Wyoming home and
will be charged with being an accessory after the fact of murder.
More details about about the case will be released at a news
conference today, police said.

Help sought to find body
Sarnia police have charged the slaying victim's common-law husband
and his sister.
By Jennifer
O'BRIEN, Sun Media, Fri., August 10, 2007
Sarnia -- Police are urging rural landowners to search properties
between Watford and Wyoming for a slain woman believed dumped
in the area in the spring.
But even without the body of Shelley
MATHIEU-
READ, 45, Sarnia
police said yesterday they had enough evidence to charge her
common-law husband, Thomas
MOFFIT, with second-degree murder.
MOFFIT, 36, is in custody on the charge. His sister, Kathy
LONG,
54, of Wyoming, is charged with being an accessory after the
fact.
"I can't get into the evidence, but there is certainly evidence&hellip
to determine Shelley
MATHIEU-
READ has met a violent death," Sgt. Scott
MacLEAN said at a news conference yesterday.
MATHIEU-
READ, formerly of London, and
MOFFIT, her partner of
about six months, have a "history of domestic violence," he said.
MacLEAN said police believe there was a "domestic disturbance"
in mid-May and
MATHIEU-
READ was killed.
Police▲ have a daunting task in the search for
MATHIEU-
READ's
body. They think she was dumped in mid-May, when the terrain,
now blanketed by tall cornfields and overgrowing bush, was sparse.
More than 20 officers from Sarnia police searched a 39-hectare
woodlot in the area yesterday.
"That's just one small sample of the area we're searching,"
MacLEAN
said. Earlier in the week, Lambton Ontario Provincial Police
assisted Sarnia police in a search on Churchill Line between
Wyoming and Watford.
"It really is overwhelming. The landowners know their properties
better than anyone, so we are asking for their assistance,"
MacLEAN
said.
"We are looking for any signs of disturbances on their property
tire tracks or areas that may have been disturbed as a possible
gravesite."
MATHIEU-
READ, a mother and grandmother known as a heavy drug
user, was last seen by a neighbour on May 10, police said.
"Shelley was a sibling, a mother and a grandmother," said
MacLEAN.
"She struggled her whole life with drug addiction, but she kept
in contact with her family. She was a very loved person."
MATHIEU-
READ's daughter, Robin
HARDMAN of Saint Thomas, reported
her missing on July 29.
HARDMAN hadn't seen her mother since
May.
MATHIEU-
READ moved to Sarnia from London in March. She and
MOFFIT
moved into a Finch Street apartment building in a well-kept complex.
Though MATHIEU-
READ's daughter has said her mom moved to Sarnia
to get "clean," neighbours in the 10-storey apartment building
said yesterday both she and
MOFFIT were known drinkers and drug
users.
"We would hear them fighting all the time," said a woman who
lives next to
MOFFIT's apartment on the building's fourth floor.
The neighbour said
MATHIEU-
READ had been there only a short time
when the two women shared an elevator.
"She was holding a PlayStation, and she had a book bag on her
back, and she was bawling," the neighbour said.
In the elevator,
MATHIEU-
READ said she was sick of her boyfriend's
drinking.
"She was crying and she said, 'I'm so lonely, I'm from London
and I don't know anybody around here,' " said the neighbour,
who asked not to be named.
After that, the woman said, another woman seemed to be living
with MOFFIT, who remained in his apartment until last week.
Police said
MOFFIT had once been charged with assaulting
MATHIEU-
READ
but she didn't appear in court and the charge was dropped.
MOFFIT is known to Lambton Ontario Provincial Police, said spokesperson
Const. John
REURINK.
"We did investigate a sudden death where he was involved in the
relationship with the deceased, but it was deemed that no foul
play was suspected,"
REURINK said.
He said that case could be reopened if there were enough similarities
to the MATHIEU-
READ slaying.
How To Help Police
- Police believe a black 4X4 Ford F250 was used to to dump Shelley
MATHIEU-
READ's body somewhere off Churchill Line between Wyoming
and Watford. They ask Churchill Line landowners in southeast
Lambton County and western Middlesex County between Wyoming and
Watford to check their properties.
- They also ask anyone who saw the truck to call Sarnia police
at 519-344-8861 ext. 6077 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477.

HARTLEY,
Strachan, B.Sc., M.Sc., M.D.
After a courageous 21 months, Strachan lost his battle against
Non-Hodgkins Lymphoma July 5th, 2007 at the Royal Victoria Hospital

joy as an M.D. pursuing his orthopedic surgery residency at McGill.
Strachan is survived by his devoted wife

parents Mary Ann and Michael, and loving siblings Aimee-Noel,
Wyatt and Blythe. Sharing their daughter's loss are parents-in-law
Pierre YVES and Françoise
ROUMAIN of Haiti and sister Stephanie

HARTLEY,
Aunt
Catherine LOUVET and cousins Camille and Lauren feel a particularly

by his grandparents Herb and Simone
HARTLEY and Ralph and Isabelle

legacy of Friendship, sport and scholarship in Edmonton, Vancouver
and Montreal. His captaincy of the 1997 Vanier Cup Champion University
of British Columbia Thunderbirds football team and subsequently
of the McGill Redmen football team are testament to his leadership
and commitment to others. Earning All-Star status in both leagues,
5-time Academic All-Canadian Honours, the Russ Jackson Award
as the top community, academic and athletic achiever in the Province
of Quebec and twice bestowed with the prestigious Canadian Interuniversity
Sports Award as one of the Top 8 most outstanding academic, leadership
and athletic performers in Canadian sports are tributes of his
tremendous work ethic and strength of character. His successful
completion of medical school while battling cancer speaks to
the bravery and determination of this truly remarkable man who
wanted to make a difference in this world. But most of all, Strachan
will be remembered for his warm sense of humor, compassion and
integrity. All who knew him cannot wonder what might have been.
Why, when he had so much to give, was he taken from us? Sleep
in peace wonderful Prince. We will carry you always in our hearts.
The family wishes to acknowledge all the amazing Friends and
community members who supported Strachan during his life and
illness. Your overwhelming caring and compassion touched him
and the family deeply and helped soothe his burden. In lieu of
flowers, the Hartleys have requested that Friends honour Strachan's
memory through the Strachan Hartley Legacy Foundation. The Legacy
Foundation is designed to further Strachan's life goal of making
a difference in the world. All donations will receive a tax deductible
