York Regional Police released this image of a man walking by the residence a month after Sandy Gauthier's home was burned to the ground, killing Gauthier. Bradley Strickler has been sentenced to life in prison for the murder of Sandy Gauthier. The mobile police unit located near the home of Sandy Gauthier. The man who shocked a community by raping and then setting the home of an 85-year-old matriarch ablaze has been sentenced at Newmarket court. Bradley Strickler, 24, of Keswick, was found guilty of the first-degree murder of Sandra Gauthier on Feb. 11 and then sentenced to life in prison without the possibility of parole for 25 years on Feb. 20. When images of her burnt-out bungalow on Keswick’s quiet Miami Drive were released in January 2022, the community was left reeling at Gauthier’s passing. That turned to further dismay a month later when an autopsy confirmed that Gauthier died as the result of homicide. In February that year, York Regional Police released a grainy surveillance image of a man walking down the street, indicating investigators wanted to speak with the individual. In November 2022, Strickler, then 21, was charged with Gauthier’s murder, sexual assault and arson with disregard for human life. Police said Gauthier was identified using genetic genealogy and DNA testing. Gauthier, a grandmother of nine, was remembered as a “kind, gentle and caring soul.” She lived in that same home with her husband until his death in 2014. She was well known for her work gardening and chatting to neighbours. Your account has been registered, and you are now logged in.

The recent trend has sparked concern in communities unaccustomed to such incidents. “Given the area where this has happened, it is concerning,” Nebrija acknowledged. “It’s in a park in a neighbourhood. People are around, walking to school or wherever they may be going in the morning. That alone is concerning for us.” Erin Ambrose was named defender of the year in the PWHL’s inaugural season Article contentThe 30-year-old veteran of Canada’s national team was Montreal Victoire’s top blue liner in Year 1 of the league finishing with 18 points in Montreal’s second-place regular-season finish Ambrose is no stranger to the victory podium with three world championship golds an Olympic gold and an NCAA title with Clarkson In a season of firsts for everyone in the PWHL Ambrose set the bar for minutes played in a game logging 55:18 of ice time in Montreal’s triple-overtime loss to Boston in Game 2 of their PWHL semifinal “It took a long time to fall asleep afterwards We actually stayed in Montreal the next day and then travelled to Boston on the game day That was decided on before the game even finished “I think just how to manage the day-to-day but we have kind of been used to from the last time we played consistently in either the CWHL or college is you play every Saturday or Sunday or every weekend I think just getting into the groove of you have weekday games I think it was mostly learning how to take care of myself on the off-days and in the downtime as the year went on.” “I think my favourite part of it is it’s such a major city but it doesn’t seem all that busy all the time I’m pretty close to downtown and I can walk around down there and not be crowded at crosswalks but it doesn’t feel like a big one at the same time.” I think the group that we have had for the last few years but at the same time we are driven and we push each other in ways that are pretty special It is one of the most special groups I have ever been a part of “I think my ‘oh my gosh’ moment was her overtime winner in Calgary (2021) but then it happened more frequently than you would think Even last year in the PWHL to tie the game up against Toronto she literally went through all five players on the ice by herself She just does it so consistently that I shouldn’t even be surprised anymore.” you are probably going to say (one-time Leafs’ goalie) Curtis Joseph because he is probably the most well-known but for me it’s Sean Walker (Carolina Hurricanes) or Chris Tierney (former NHLer now with Dinamo Minsk of the KHL) He played with us on York-Simcoe Express.” “Probably my favourite one is stuffed peppers that I make probably because I can usually get a three-pack and have 11/2 each time and it’s two meals in a row.” if you would have asked me this five years ago I would have said zero because I wasn’t much of a napper I feel like with age I have become more of a napper and I am very much OK with it hopefully in some sort of management role once I’m done.” I feel like the better ones we don’t get to consistently use “I think it would be having someone consistently mic’d up just hearing what people have to say and getting it out there right away because a lot of mic’d up experiences are shown later on I think in-game stuff is pretty cool to see.” but I have always wanted to go to Wimbledon I mean obviously the bigger events ever and I would love to do it one time.” I like the snugger feel to it and I feel like when things get too loose He was my coach in junior and I had him for three years I believe and I think the way he saw how I saw the game he allowed me to kind of hone in on that and really make a big difference.” I think she is one of not just the best Canadian athletes I would do a lot of things to be able to sit down and have a dinner with her one time.” “I think one that really stands out is obviously the end result of (Olympic gold at) Beijing but more specifically there was a goal against Finland that I assisted on of Sarah Nurse’s I made a literal cross-goal-line pass to her I think honestly she shot it from below the goal line That is probably one of my favourite plays in recent memory.” “I would love to be able to play with (U.S national team and Boston Fleet player) Megan Keller I think she is one of the greatest in our game right now (Finland national team captain) Jenni Hiirikoski would be up there And then if I could throw in a former player I would say (Canadian national team player) Catherine Ward.” “Probably a grilled burger on the BBQ and some corn on the cob but nothing beats that at the cottage in the summertime.” mganter@postmedia.com Two Barrie men have been charged in connection
