The first in my series about the international reach of BC gangs/criminal organizations. No paywall on the stories. Thanks to the Lieutenant Governor’s Journalism Fellowship, I was able to visit 6 countries to do research/interviews.

00:00 - Before I started the @VancouverSun 40 years ago today, all my jobs had been for less than a year! I never imagined I'd still be here 4 decades later! But I love being a reporter and writing about important issues in my city and province. #localnewsmatters
- Vancouver Coastal Health confirm accused mass murderer Adam Lo was "under the care of a mental health team and on extended leave in accordance with the Mental Health Act." So he had been in hospital but was out.
- Good news - the two 12-year-olds who were missing in Richmond have been found safe.
