Renewed call for help in solving cold case murder

Sarnia-Lambton Crime Stoppers is appealing for help in solving a cold case murder.

Tuesday marks the 20th anniversary of the death of 22-year-old Robert "B.J." Raymond.

He was stabbed at The Border Club on Christina Street in Sarnia at around 2:15 a.m. December 28, 2001.

Crime Stoppers said B.J. left the bar and, after buying a hotdog from a vendor in the lot, observed a fight where weapons were being used. He recognized his friends amongst the melee, realized they were outnumbered and immediately went to their aid. Minutes later he was on the ground after being stabbed. Efforts to revive him on scene were unsuccessful.

Sarnia Police recovered the weapon believed to have been used. An extensive investigation was launched. Several hundred statements were taken from the numerous patrons who were in attendance that night from all over Lambton County as well as those from United States.

The killer has never been located.

Anyone with information on this case is asked to call Crime Stoppers at 1-888-222-8477 or online at www.p3tips.com.
