Police mum over
murder details

NORTH VANCOUVER RCMP are keeping the circumstances
surrounding the death of 39-year-old Julie Marr Smith close to
their chests.

Smith, a known prostitute, was found murdered Jan. 30 in her
West 19th Street apartment in North Vancouver.

Investigators found no sign of forced entry and believe the killer
was expected at Smith's main floor one-bedroom suite.

Investigating officer Sgt. Brian Guzda expects autopsy results to
be released once police are closer to identifying the murder suspect
or suspects.

“We're into the crucial part of our investigation. We can’t really
give anything,’* said Guzda.

Investigators say they have found no obvious connection be-
tween Smith’s killing and the two murdered caotic dancers
discovered buried on Mount Seymour December, 1986.

NORTH SHORE companies that
use second-class postal services
must now take all second-class
mail to the central Vancouver post
office for processing.

Canada Post began con-
solidating second-class mail ser-
vices in the main Vancouver office
in January and compieted the job
this week, according to corpora-
tion spokesman Sharon
Boykowich.

Companies holding second-class
mail registration numbers in North
and West Vancouver, Burnaby,
Richmond, New Westminster and
Coquitlam could, until the move,

drop their mail at designated post -

offices in their municipalities.

Boykowich said the move was
made because the personnel and
computer and verification equip-
ment required to handle second-
class mail is concentrated in the
main Vancouver post office.

The move, she said, will
streamline the handling of
second-class mail.
