In this special update episode we’re joined by Beverley’s sister Barb Kilpatrick and niece Melanie to mark a milestone in one of the most high-profile cases the province has seen, reflect on the impact, and share new details - including some sad family news and a public plea for information.
25 years ago today, the body of 42 year old mother of two Beverley Rowbotham was found in the family car at an abandoned gas station in Selkirk, Manitoba. Beverley’s political advisor husband, Mark Stobbe, was acquitted of her murder 12 years later.
The case has remained unsolved. Beverley’s remaining family members hope to finally get answers and justice for Beverley.

Public plea to help locate a potential credible lead - “Paul and Ann from Calgary”
They are from Calgary, Alberta and drove to Rocky Mountain House in March of 2018 to deliver a handwritten note.
See an image of the Paul and Ann note,
Paul was very well spoken, Anne had a cane and walked with a bit of a limp. They indicated that they were scared, but needed to share their information in person.
