Description
May 12–13 Edmonton Elaine Kuresh, a thirty-nine-year-old high school teacher and counsellor, committed suicide after being charged with gross indecency and three counts of contributing to the delinquency of a minor. The allegations of misconduct involved a sixteen-year-old female student who had lived with Kuresh and her husband. The resulting scandal was played up by reporter Eddie Keen in the Edmonton Sun, starting May 1, 1981, and also by articles in the Edmonton Journal, which may have contributed to Kuresh's death.
