Edmonton Police Ask for Help After a Teen Was Sexually Assaulted by a Stranger in the River Valley

Edmonton police are asking the public for help identifying a man who sexually assaulted a teenage girl in the river valley west of Grand View Drive on the evening of June 23. The girl broke away and ran to a nearby neighbourhood. Investigators have released a description of the suspect and want to hear from anyone who was in the area.

The family of the woman shot and killed by Calgary police on Deerfoot Trail on June 21 has named her as Melanie Hambrook, a 53-year-old insurance broker, painter, and mother. They say she was in a mental-health crisis, not a criminal one, and they want to know why she died. ASIRT, which says she was armed with a knife, is still investigating.
