But there still may be some twists to the story. The police say the killer was from Edmonton now, but he got on the bus in Manitoba. The victim was from Manitoba, but got on the bus in Edmonton. Maybe it means nothing - just a couple of Mcguffins, as Hitchcock put it. Sort of fearful symmetry, though.

The public information so far indicates that the young victim was a harmless fellow, probably not involved in gangs or anything. A terrible thing for the father and mother.
