Calgary cops have admitted to using a phony media event to try and lure an accused killer in a 2001 murder case.
Police testified yesterday, they told media they were searching for the gun that killed Corinne Belanger, when they had already recovered it.
Retired homicide detective Al Brown says despite their efforts, no one turned up to try and retrieve the weapon.
The Calgary Sun reports they were trying to get a lot of attention, in hopes the person responsible would slip up and do something.
Barry David Brown faces a first degree murder charge in Belanger’s death.
