Today marks the 28th anniversary of the murder of Shane Darrell Siddle and the Special Investigation Section of the Integrated Criminal Investigation Division continues to investigate the case.
On December 12, 1994, police received a report that a patient at the Victoria General Hospital, Shane Siddle, had been admitted on December 7 with a serious head injury.

It is never too late to do the right thing and the smallest piece of information may be just what is needed to progress the investigation.
