The Murder of Beverley Rowbotham
MANITOBA, CANADA
In 2000, Beverley Rowbotham moved her family from Saskatchewan to Manitoba after her husband Mark Stobbe was offered a high-profile job there. But as they started settling into their new house, the problems started…. and the police received a phone call from Mark Stobbe reporting his wife missing.
“She had many adventures, jumping from airplanes (skydiving), traveling the world and teaching in Japan.
Her accomplishments included completing two university degrees and a successful career in the Saskatchewan Public Service.
Her greatest accomplishment - and the source of her greatest joy - was her raising of wonderful sons.”
- Obituary of Beverley Justine Rowbotham
1957 - 2000
