Transfixed!



Kathy Tomlinson, a CBC producer for the fifth estate, had previously disclosed that RCMP Sgt. Tidsbury had admitted during a CBC interview that Shannon Murrin was a police informant. She later went on to say that her bosses would not pursue the story and told me that the admission was "off the record". After being told that, I attempted to gather as much information and evidence as I could to at least prove that this admission did occur and was being covered up.

Paisley Woodward – A CBC attorney and former associate of Kathy Tomlinson,  was lured to Kelowna to meet with Al, a man acting as a go between. Al had submitted a story concerning Tony Gallup and Charles Horvath to a producer for the short lived CBC show “disclosure" and took (me) his un-named confidential source along with him to the meeting. Woodward was informed that the CBC had a confession on file concerning Tidsbury and Murrin and was encouraged to find it as part of the story.

There were four recorded interviews made in which Paisley was told the entire story of Shannon Murrin and his past relationship with Sgt. Tidsbury. At various junctures along the way, she was questioned about the recorded interview with Sgt Tidsbury. She did not know that she was being recorded at first. In the first recording she finds and discloses the the name of the reporter and the date of the Tidsbury interview. She claimed that there were no field tapes left and that there are also no informant laws in Canada that would prevent or prohibit the CBC from airing this story. I was dismissed as a conspiracy theorist for even suggesting such a thing. 

 

She researched and disclosed the reporter's name but claimed that both Tomlinson and the reporter disputed that Tidsbury had admitted Murrin was an informant. I did not tell her at the time that I had a recording of Tomlinson admitting the opposite.

On the second recording she says that the reporter said that Tidsbury had denied that Murrin was an informant. She claimed that Tomlinson had also said the same.

In the third recording Woodward begins soliciting more details and clearing up misconceptions about our first oral conversation. She can be heard typing in the background. She asks if I am recording her and I admit that I am. We discuss Tomlinson's admission that the Tidsbury interview was "off the record". After I told her she was being recorded,  she then changed her story and said that Tdsbury did not say one way or the other if Murrin was an informant but was still adamant  that there was no off the record comment. I told her that I had Tomlinson on tape saying so.

She was about to leave on holidays for the next twenty days. I was to contact her again on Aug/21/02
recording- 

It was left that she was still supposed to contact Tomlinson at the CBC for confirmation that the admission from Tidsbury was obtained off the record.. It was left that I would contact her if and when I could come up with more information on Elizabeth.

What happened to Elizabeth matches exactly with what has since been disclosed in media reports on how the RCMP obstructs justice for their agents. The press has now admitted that they are in fact prohibited from reporting the identities of RCMP informants and agents.
