After consuming more alcohol at home, she took a taxi to a highway intersection outside the city, and told the driver she planned to hitch a ride to Jasper or Edmonton.
He then dumped her corpse in a water ditch near a logging road in Purden Lake, approximately 40 kilometers from Prince George.
[4] In the early morning hours of November 14, 1981, Roswitha Fuchsbichler, 13, left a house party in the foothills area of Prince George to meet an older man.
He proceeded to disrobe her body and sexually-mutilate it before dumping it in a wooded area behind the Hart Highway, about 20 kilometers from where the party was held.
[3] Due to the similar modus operandi, investigators immediately suspected her murder was connected to Kovacs', but they had no physical evidence to prove it.
Evidence suggested that the two engaged in sexual activity, and he strangled her with the cord of her jacket after she refused to perform a certain sex act.
The two moved Joseph's body to Freeman Park, where Isaac posed her spreadeagle and tied her legs to two trees.
At a preliminary hearing, witnesses testified that Isaac told them that he and his brother, Jim, took Kovacs to a secluded road, where they raped her, shot her, and mutilated her.
