User:Geo Swan/Calvin Hoover

Calvin Hoover was a Canadian man who lived in Queensville, Ontario, in 1984, when his neighbour, Christine Jessop, was abducted, raped and murdered. Another neighbour, Guy Paul Morin, was tried and convicted of the girl's murder, and spent years clearing his name. In spite of having a criminal record Hoover was never a suspect.

Toronto Police Services had requested Othram, a consumer genetic tracing firm in Texas, to compare DNA collected from cold cases with the DNA in its database, to see if any of its clients were related to the perpetrators. Othram's terms and conditions allowed this kind of cooperation with law enforcement agencies.

CBC News reported their sources said Hoover's 2015 death was through suicide. Kenney Jessop, Christine's older brother, says he believes Police interviewed Hoover shortly before he took his own life.

Kenney described his family and Hoover's visiting one another for barbeques, and playing with Hoover's children.
