At least 18 RCMP officers spent more than seven months on an elaborate “Mr. Big” sting operation that involved getting close to the suspect in an MMIWG cold case murder through going to Canucks games and skydiving, and staging a fake crime scene.

Undercover officers posing as a tight-knit group hung out at Kevin Queau’s favourite sports pub in Vancouver to get chummy with him, then slowly invited him into their activities until he was helping them move locked briefcases and cleaning up a hotel room staged to look like something violent had occurred.

Details of the sting are laid out in search warrant documents obtained from court by CBC News.
