Solve this crime!

This is hot off the presses and even has a couple of candidates for (possible) railroading.

Loretta Saunders last seen on February 13 The roommates of a pregnant missing Halifax university student have been charged with fraud and possession of stolen goods after they were found in Ontario with the missing woman’s car. The family of Loretta Saunders, a 26-year-old Inuit woman and criminology student studying incidents of murdered and missing aboriginal women in Canada, say they fear the worst. RCMP in Halifax say the couple, 25-year-old Blake Leggette and 28-year-old Victoria Henneberry, will return to court in Windsor, Ontario tomorrow for a bail hearing.

There are interesting details:

Quote:

Ms. Saunders, originally from Hopedale, N.L., had taken two roommates into her Halifax high-rise apartment on Cowie Hill Road to help cover her school expenses, said Mr. Saunders. He is not sure if she met the renters on Kijiji, an online advertising site, or was introduced to them by her boyfriend. “She was having a hard time getting her rent from them. It’s been a while since they paid her,” said Mr. Saunders. “She went to get her rent Thursday and said if they didn’t have it she’ll tell them they have to leave. When she got there they weren’t home. She phoned them, apparently, and told them they had to leave.” Video surveillance from the apartment shows her leaving the apartment on Thursday, Feb. 13, alone. It does not appear she was followed, said Mr. Saunders. My heart is breaking more and more as time passes The apartment management says the building has a controlled-access lobby and monitored security cameras. Alarmingly, text messages were sent from Ms. Saunders’ phone later that evening claiming she was locked out of her online banking and could not remember her mother’s maiden name to bypass security, the family said. The next day, Valentine’s Day, her phone was briefly in contact by text message with her sister, Ms. Terriak, around 1 p.m. “The conversation was suspiciously short,” Ms. Terriak said. By Feb. 17, the worried family reported the woman missing to Halifax Regional Police. Officers were soon knocking on doors in the apartment complex asking questions. Police won’t say what they learned, but investigators contacted the Ontario Province Police in Essex County about the case. It is thought that cellphone signals were traced to the area. On Tuesday evening, Ms. Saunders’ car was found in Harrow, Ont., south of Windsor, and two people — Ms. Saunders’ two roommates — were arrested on charges of possession of a stolen vehicle. On Wednesday afternoon, Leggette and Henneberry, 28, appeared briefly in a Windsor courtroom. They remain in Windsor jail.

and the two in custody seem like unsavoury types:

Halifax Constable Pierre Bourdages confirmed the pair know Ms. Saunders, but would not comment on the nature of their relationship. Mr. Leggette and Ms. Henneberry appear to be a couple in Facebook pictures, into heavy metal music, tattoos and body piercings. The two spent time in Alberta, with at least Ms. Henneberry attending Athabasca University. She has gone by different last names and was recently engulfed in an highly personal online feud on a gossip website with people accusing her of an unsavory lifestyle. THE CANADIAN PRESS/HOLoretta Saunders and her car were last seen on the morning of Feb. 13, near her high-rise apartment on Cowie Hill Road in a working-class neighbourhood. The apartment management says the building has a controlled-access lobby and monitored security cameras. Both were already wanted on outstanding warrants. Mr. Leggette has a warrant for failing to appear in court in Calgary and Ms. Henneberry for a threatening incident from January 2011, in Halifax. That incident did not involve Ms. Saunders, police said.

So they must be guilty.
