GORD LOGAN

Two witnesses would strike a serious blow at the prosecution theory.

If Truscott and Lynn crossed the bridge taking Lynn north to the highway, he could not have killed her in the bush which was south of the bridge. And two witnesses insisted they saw them crossing the bridge ... riding double on his bike.

One was Gordon Logan who was 12, fishing in the river. He told police he looked up and saw Steven and Lynn ride by. Shortly afterwards, he saw Steven coming back alone, presumably after dropping Lynn off at the highway. His story is significant because he reported it to the police on Thursday morning ... before they found Lynn's body.

Later, when it became crucial to Steven's alibi, the police said he made it up to protect his friend ... that the bridge was too far away to see anybody on it clearly.

But the fifth estate discovered police records indicating the opposite.

To the right is the photograph the police took to test what Logan could see.

Police testified during the trial that Logan would not be able to see Truscott on the bridge. But in a real test, later, a policeman standing where Gord Logan stood precisely identified clothing and colours and concluded that someone the bridge would have been - "recognizable".
