   Doug Bruce continues to pore over the Ray Ginnetti file.
   ...
   Doug Bruce was among the herd of WVPD officers dispatched to the posh, Caulfeild Plateau home of the flamboyant stockbroker Ray Ginnetti on a sunny afternoon in May of 1990.
   ...
   Bruce, then a 14-year constable, recalls a crush of onlookers, neighbours and police vehicles at the scene that day. "There was a lot of interest at the time." Fourteen years later, Bruce is surrounded by stacks of banker's boxers full of evidence labeled "Homicide - Ginnetti." Since that fateful May afternoon, Bruce has risen to the rank of staff sergeant and been put in charge of the Ginnetti file. "It's one of those things that I have been following or involved with for years," said Bruce, a 29-year police veteran. Although a preliminary hearing date was set last week for Jose Raul Perez-Valdez, the Cuban national accused of killing Ginnetti, Bruce said the case is still open.
   ...
   There were others that hired him to commit the offence," explained Bruce, who has had the Ginnetti file since 1994.
   ...
   Bruce said Perez-Valdez has refused to talk to police investigators since his extradition to British Columbia.
   ...
   At times, Bruce explained, there have been as many as six WVPD investigators and surveillance unit assigned to the case.
   ...
   Bruce offered no comment when asked about persistent rumours that Ginnetti's murder was linked to local organized crime - either the Russian mob or Hells Angels. While Bruce said Ginnetti was known to be "friendly" with members of the Hells Angles he would not comment on whether he had any business dealings with the outlaw biker group. "We knew he was friendly with some members of the Hells Angels, but as far as business connections I can't comment on that." Bruce said police still have fresh leads and believes that more charges will be laid in the case.

   WVPD Staff Sergeant Doug Bruce told The North Shore Outlook last Thursday that the investigation of other parties involved in the murder of Ray Ginetti is ongoing, but couldn't elaborate any further.
   ...
   Bruce remained tight-lipped when asked if the WVPD has had a chance to interview Perez-Valdez since the extradition back to British Columbia.
   ...
   In an earlier interview with The Outlook, Bruce, who was among the WVPD officers first dispatched to the crime scene at Ginnetti's posh Caulfeild-area home, said the West Vancouver stockbroker was known to be "friendly" with the Hells Angels but didn't comment if there were any known business connections.
