Cameron Moffat, one of two men convicted of murdering Langford teenager Kimberly Proctor in 2010, has been transferred to a minimum-security facility in Mission after serving 16 years. The move signals he is one step closer to eventual release.
Proctor's family learned more than a month ago that Moffat had applied for a voluntary transfer and were invited to submit victim impact statements. Despite their appeals, the transfer was approved. The family was notified by phone by a Correctional Service of Canada victim services officer.
Proctor's aunt, Jo-Anne Landolt, disputed the decision-making process. "Knowing for sure is just a big shock, and it's a bit of a letdown knowing that Kimmy's no longer with us, and here he is going into minimum security already after 16 years. It's just not right," Landolt said. She said Moffat's warden alone made the transfer decision, and she believes multiple decision-makers—similar to a parole hearing process—should review such cases.
"And this bothers us, thinking that this is a stepping stone for him because he is moving through the system," Landolt added. "We know he's still incarcerated, but still, it's just not fair for victims. I don't think it's fair for Kimmy that he's able to move this quickly after such a horrific crime. I don't understand it."
Moffat and Kruse Wellwood, both teenagers at the time, lured Proctor, 18, to one of their homes where she was sexually assaulted and brutalized over several hours. Proctor was strangled and suffocated, and her body was found the next day beneath a bridge, badly burned. Both pleaded guilty in 2011 to first-degree murder and indignity to a dead body and were sentenced to life with no parole eligibility for 10 years—a maximum sentence available under the Youth Criminal Justice Act. Adults convicted of first-degree murder receive life sentences with no parole eligibility for 25 years.
Proctor would have turned 34 in January 2026. Correctional Service of Canada did not respond to a request for comment.
