It’s been more than five years since Arlene Westervelt died while canoeing with her husband in Lake Country, but the story surrounding her death continues to unfold.
Former RCMP officer Brian Gateley has now filed a response to the lawsuit launched against him by Arlene’s family.
In the days after Arlene’s body was pulled from Okanagan Lake, Gateley took her cellphone and had another officer crack it using RCMP resources.
Gateley said that Bert had told him he wanted the pictures from his last day with Arlene.
The two men say their wives worked together and they knew each other as casual acquaintances, although Arlene’s family believes they were good friends.
According to court documents, the phone was hacked and returned to Bert before a murder investigation against him had been launched.
The civil response filed by the government says that four days after Arlene’s death, Gateley called Sgt. Craig Andrichuk, who was an investigator on the case and is also named in the lawsuit.
Gateley allegedly told Andrichuk that he’d been friends with the couple for years and had never seen any evidence of violence or abuse between them.
