Nova Scotia Rampage - Redacted Search Warrant ITOs (information to obtain) - Part 1

title card thin.jpg

In the time since the Nova Scotia shooting and arson rampage details related to the crimes have slowly became available via a variety of sources… eye witness accounts, insider leaks, investigative journalism have provided much of what we know, but the most complete version of the events are contained among the 142 pages of ITOs.

The ITOs (Information to obtain) are in essence search warrant applications in which law enforcement outline justification for a search warrant.

Several versions of these heavily redacted documents have become publicly available thanks to a legal battle being fought between the RCMP, who want to prevent release, and a group of media outlets, who demand the removal of the redactions.

As it stands presently, despite the redactions, a clear picture of the RCMP investigation into Gabriel Wortman’s killing spree is visible. Via the 142 pages, we see an outline of interviews with many key players in this story, a summary of Wortman’s online purchases, copies of emails/texts, and much more.

Below, you will can view the most complete version of the ITOs I’ve been able to find so far.
