Investigators were able to combine information about relatives of the suspect with other existing evidence to identify Guy Greffard of Kelvington, Sask., who is now 65 years old, as the suspect.

Police say Greffard was arrested on Oct. 27 and is being charged with rape and acts of gross indecency as defined in the 1981 Criminal Code.
