A list of communities where Gabriel Wortman lived or we think he lived

This is my current list of communities that Gabriel Wortman lived in  —-or might have lived.

In plausible chronological order, with date ranges as best I can determine to date.

Communities with question mark at end have been raised as possibilities by people who actually knew Gabriel, but as yet, have not been supported by documentary evidence.

Gabriel was conceived in October 1967 and born early July 1968. Court documents state that : but no birth certificate as yet, no definite proof as to when he was born or where, a month after the murder spree.

1968  Stoney Creek Ontario ?

Because only the Wortman last name was known, people naturally had to focus on GW’s father’s side.

But his mother Doris nee Scott had parents & lots of siblings in Stratford Ontario - her eldest son Neil was even born there and he went back there to go to university (in London very near by) and was still in Ontario - Beaverton - in 1977 when his father Stanley passed. Also not living far from Beaverton was GW’s uncle Donald and his family. We do know that GW’s brother Alan finished his high school years at Beaverton’s regional High School.

So Paul moving to Ontario to find work is hardly a stretch.

1968-1969 Cleveland Ohio ?

1969-1970 Fitchburg Massachusetts. News story uncontested by the Wortman family.

1972  Phoenix, Arizona  ?

By May 1974, Bridgedale, Riverview, New Brunswick. Electoral Records and telephone books.

1974  to  1987 and then 1987 to 1991. Bridgedale. (1987-1991, part-time, when not at UNB Fredericton.) Recollections of dozens of eye witnesses, High School yearbook.

1987-1991 UNB Fredericton - at least part of that time in  two different dorms, MacLeod House and Bridges House - exactly what years for each not known. Multiple eye witnesses in media and on social media.

1991 Moncton New Brunswick, in his parents’ new home ?

1991-2001 is an oasis of inconsistencies and unknowns.

By 1995, the registrar of NS Morticians Board told the media, Gabriel Wortman had complete a (18 month long ?) course to be a mortician but had not become licensed and his records had been transferred back to New Brunswick.

He may have completed that course at NSCC Kentville between 1993-1995 ?

Donnie Walker of Walkers Funeral Home Dartmouth NS told the media that he remembers employing him as an mortician assistant in the mid 1990s.

A girlfriend on social media remembers Gabe holding down two jobs at the same time, in this period : mortician and denturist.

Walkers Funeral Home was then in easy walking distant from the bottom of Pine Street, Dartmouth - as was the denturist clinic at 193 Portland Street.

(A vision of GW rushing between each job, while washing his hands as best he can.)

A fully licensed denturist today needs to complete an extensive 3 year course and the nearest Canadian schools are in southern Ontario ?

Since GW speaks repeatedly about America and has American relatives, (this from multiple media reports) a denturist school in Michigan remains a possibility ?

His grandmother Doris’s second spouse was from Michigan, had a big influence on GW and his uncle Glynn ; we don’t know his occupation, other than that he was “well educated” : might he be the reason GW switched to mortician or denturist after failing to get into the RCMP ?

From 1996 to 2001, GW did own a house at the bottom of Pine Street Dartmouth with Corinna Kincaid.

In this same period he owned some sort of residence at Lawrencetown Beach NS.

By 2001, court records show that GW was living in the rooms above his denturist clinic at 193 Portland Street. This was still his main residence when he died April 2020.

Sometime around 2002 GW brought property and then more and more property at Portapique NS and spent increasingly more time there as years went by. This summer home is where his murder spree began...
