It's been 13 years since Bob McIntosh walked into a neighbour's home to check on an unchaperoned teenaged New Year's Eve party only to be met with violence.
However the story of McIntosh's murder still provokes interest, most recently in the form of the made for TV movie Bond of Silence, starring Kim Raver of 24 and Grey's Anatomy.
The Lifetime Original Movie is being shot this month in Victoria, and is not set in Squamish, but rather a coastal town in Washington State.
It depicts McIntosh's widow Kay Hutchison as she tries to find out who murdered her husband and father of her twin sons.
The crime took five years to resolve, and Hutchison subsequently became an advocate for restorative justice, at times alongside the very man who killed her husband, Ryan Aldridge who received a five-year sentence for manslaughter five years after the crime.
The court found that Aldridge, 19 at the time of the party, was drunk and high on marijuana when he delivered fatal kicks to McIntosh's head.
Hutchison's experience was also depicted her own published account, Walking After Midnight: One Woman's Journey Through Murder, which received accolades from peace advocates, including the Dalai Lama.
Hutchison, now married to Victoria lawyer Michael Hutchison, moved back to Victoria in 1998 with her two children. She provided creative input for the film's original script by Oak Bay screenwriter B.D. Young, who bought the rights to her life story.
