Windsor suspects make Canada's 'most wanted' list
CBC
Several Windsor men — including one wanted for murder in the death of a 16-year-old — have been named on a new list of Canada's "most wanted" fugitives.
The list, which features 25 people wanted in connection with serious crimes across Canada, is part of a public awareness campaign called the BOLO or "be on the lookout" Program.
"Through the top 25 initiative launching today, the BOLO program is helping police services get more eyes on our cases, prompting more tips about wanted suspects," Toronto police chief James Ramer said at a press conference on Tuesday.
Three people on the list are wanted by Windsor police.
Nouraldin Rabee, who is No. 4 on the list, is wanted on charges of first-degree murder, kidnapping and forcible confinement in the 2018 death of Chance Gauthier, who was just 16.
His parents, Kim and Scott Gauthier, wrote a statement that was read aloud at the press conference.
They said that seeing the face of the man accused of killing their son all over the news and social media will cause them to relive their nightmare, but he must be caught.
"Someone, somewhere knows something. If that someone is you, please, now is the time to do the right thing," they said in the statement.
A reward of up to $50,000 is being offered in the case.
Andrew Randall, Windsor police inspector of investigations, said Rabee left the country after an arrest was made in the case. That person was later convicted of manslaughter.
An INTERPOL red notice has been issued for Rabee, asking law enforcement around the world to locate and arrest him.
He is believed to be somewhere in the Middle East, Randall said, but police don't know for sure.
"Our investigation led us to believe that he fled right to Egypt. He now does have friends and acquaintances in Jordan, Israel and the United States," Randall said.
For suspects like Rabee who aren't believed to be in Canada, there are no plans to make his face known worldwide but officials still think starting here will help.
