Investigation ongoing after man is convicted in 1994 sexual assault case

Jul 6, 2018 | 6:12 PM

Grande Prairie resident, Randolph Byron Dunlop, was found guilty of Sexual Assault with a Weapon, Break and Enter to Commit an Indictable Offence and Forcible Confinement by a Provincial Court Judge on March 23, 2018.

A case, from 1994, found Dunlop was wearing a mask and brandishing a firearm broke into a Fort St. John woman’s home, tied her up and sexually assaulted her. Dunlop also cut all phone lines to the home before breaking in.

He fled the scene, but left his DNA behind, which Fort St. John RCMP used to link him to the crime. Dunlop was arrested at his residence in Grande Prairie in 2014. He was known to have worked in the Fort St. John area while residing in Alberta.

While a conviction had occurred in 1994, the Fort St. John RCMP are actively working with Alberta police to see if Dunlop is associated to other unsolved investigations.
