Gabriel Wortman is spotted on video surveillance changing his clothes in Millbrook on April 19, 2020. - Contributed - ContributedAn investigator from the Mass Casualty Commission could find no evidence Gabriel Wortman was an agent for the RCMP, according to a report produced for the public inquiry.
“There is no evidence to lead any reasonable person to believe that the perpetrator was an informant or involved in undercover operations for the RCMP.”While Wortman did drive to the Brinks outlet in Burnside to pick up $475,000 in cash weeks before he murdered 22 people in April 2020, Henkel said “the method in which he received such cash is not indicative of him being a police informant.”
“In an interview with the RCMP, Kevin von Bargen relayed to investigators that as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, the perpetrator was convinced the world economy was going to collapse,” Henkel said. “The evidence obtained to date confirms that the perpetrator, as a private citizen, requested the redemption of his GICs and CIBC facilitated the transfer of the $475,000 cash to him, using Brinks as an intermediary.”
Recruiting, handling and debriefing confidential sources “is conducted in a manner that is secretive, with the goal being the protection of the identity of the ‘informer,’” Henkel said.
