Burdett's Case Summary

In May of 2016 Tillman Station had received multiple cases of female victims being robbed at knifepoint in the High Point Terrace district. One of the cases involved a female that was walking to her vehicle from her home when she was abducted by a suspect armed with a knife and forced to drive to an ATM to withdraw cash. These robberies quickly became high priority cases. Det. Burdett was assigned as the lead investigator and was assisted by GIB Detectives A. Hutchison, D. Campbell, R. Hillyard, and T. Martin. Together this team worked countless hours for several weeks to develop and identify a suspect. These investigators researched many hours of surveillance video, re-interviewing witnesses, re-visiting crime scenes and following up on
several leads. After utilizing several computer databases including the sex offender registry and questioning several potential suspects, investigators were able to identify Canister Turks as the suspect responsible for these violent offenses. Canister Turks was a violent sex offender and just recently paroled from prison for aggravated rape and robbery. These Detectives continued to work diligently on these cases taking statements, preparing line ups, executing search warrants, and gathering valuable evidence. Canister Turks was eventually charged by Tillman GIB with multiple counts of Aggravated Robbery and Especially Aggravated Kidnapping. All this would not have been possible had it not been for the hard work and impressive investigative skills, from these Detectives. (Refer to Masterfile #1605005458ME)
