Media reaction

Crawford is discussed in Warren Goulding's book, "Just Another Indian, A Serial Killer and Canada's Indifference" with the message that crimes by marginalized minorities go unheeded by an uncaring society at large. The theory is posited that Crawford's case was played down by the media because his victims were Aboriginal women.
