His death April 21571 994 18 SHLL UHSOIVECâ€"AN0 it ADDCALS The history in Sally Ward‘s eyes is _ the wheels of investigation are no farther terrible to behold. ahead now than they were a decade ago. First, her brother Bill Mcintyre, an And, if that isn‘t enough, his name Sister of slain OPP officer determined not to let her brother‘s memory slip away OTMH was left off a police association plaque recently installed in Ottawa | to commemorate the death of every police â€" officer killed in the line of duty â€" since Confederation. It § was put together Bill Mcintyre jointly by the Canadian Association of Chiefs of Police and the Canadian Police Association. Ward, despite her grief and her deterâ€" mination to see her brother‘s killer brought to justice, has written to the Ontario Provincial Police and is confiâ€" dent Bill‘s name will be placed on the plaque. After all, Mcintyre‘s name is on plaques in OPP offices in Toronto and Orillia. So Ward believes it was an oversight. She expects an answer from the police in the next couple of weeks. There are times when Sally feels she‘s the only person keeping her brothâ€" er‘s memory alive. Each line written about him bears personal hurt for the family, she says. But initially, Sally Ward was terribly upset at what has looked like a snub. Because as the years go by, it appears that the trail to nab her brother‘s murderâ€" er grows colder. Ward says her brother‘s case is periâ€" odically reviewed by Halton police but to her knowledge no new information is forthcoming. "They‘re words on a piece of paper to a writer or a reader but to me they are feelings," she says. _ _ To Mac‘s fellow undercover officers, she pleads "don‘t let him remain a throw away cop." This is because Ward has strong feelâ€" ings about her brother‘s professional serâ€" vice and his death. "They‘ve used him and now he‘s gone," she says. "He was in their service for 11 years. He was on call 24 hours a day, seven days a week and he worked anywhere from Thunder Bay to Ottawa." Ward‘s frustration is understandable to anyone who has had a relative murâ€" dered. The quest for the killer is paramount. The need to be apprised of the police investigation is crucial. Mcintyre was a 33â€"yearâ€"old OPP corporal with a special undercover unit when he was found dead in his Oakville apartment on Marlborough Court, April 21, 1984. There was good reason to believe McIntyre had been killed by the underâ€" He had been killed with a single gunâ€" shot through the forehead and was found facedown at the end of the apartâ€" ment hall.
