Windsor Murder Suspect Jesse Imeson Captured
Following Flight That Spanned Two Provinces

Jesse Norman Imeson has been captured near Renfrew Ontario. Imeson is the principal suspect in three murders, including the strangling death of Carlos Rivera in Windsor, Ontario, on July 19. Rivera was an immensely popular bartender at The Tap, a well-known gay nightclub in Windsor. Imeson is also suspected of killing an elderly rural couple, Bill and Helen Regier, near Mt. Carmel, Ontario, four days later. A Canada-wide manhunt ended Tuesday when the 22-year-old Imeson was arrested by Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) following the
break-in at a home where he was surprised by the owner. OPP closed in on the suspect in a wooded area where he surrendered. He had two rifles with him.

"People are relieved that this suspect has been apprehended," said Jeffrey Montgomery, Executive Director of Triangle Foundation. "It was an edgy time in the community while he was at large, given his wide-ranging flight and the allegations of death and mayhem he left in his wake. We all hope that some of the open questions about these crimes will now be able to be answered.

"Further, we know that the family and friends of Carlos Rivera and the
Regiers will find some satisfaction in knowing that Imeson will face the justice system and his responsibility for his alleged actions."
