Do you remember this case?<\/em> This photo was published in the Toronto Star on May 10, 1982. The cutline reads<\/em>: Rough day’s work: The dense bush around Huntsville is no place for a novice to wander but this member of the OPP TRU [Tactics and Rescue Unit] team was one of those who tracked down murder suspect Ralph Morris.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The object of a four-day police manhunt in north Ontario’s resort area was in Parry Sound Jail Sunday, charged with a stabbing murder and eight cottage breakins, police said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A small army of police surrounded a cottage 12 kilometers south of Huntsville Saturday and arrested an armed fugitive, who surrendered without a struggle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Several warnings shots were fired, but there were no injuries, said Ontario Provincial Police Const. Ed Meyers. Police seized a shotgun and a rifle following the man’s surrender.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Specially-trained police squads — backed up by two dog teams and two OPP helicopters — had combed a 140-square-kilometer section of bushland for four days before the arrest.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The object of the manhunt, Ralph Whitfield Morris, 47, of Port Colborne, Ont., was wanted in connection with the fatal stabbing April 13 of his former common-law wife, Marion Levinski, outside a Port Colborne bowling alley.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He was to appear in provincial court in Huntsville Wednesday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Police said a recent series of cottage break-ins around Huntsville, 180 kilometers north of Toronto, convinced police the fugitive was hiding in the area.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

An all-out manhunt, involving some 50 police officers, began Wednesday night.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
