Stunning Revelation: Canadian Politician Confirms Trans Teen Behind Murder of 15-Year-Old Reese Stanzel (Video)

A shocking tragedy has struck the quiet, picturesque town of Perth, Ontario, shattering the peace of a community known for its close-knit and elderly demographic. The body of 15-year-old Reese Stanzel was discovered Friday afternoon on the town’s outskirts, leaving residents stunned and in mourning. The Ontario Provincial Police, responding to the scene near Herriot Street—a local hangout spot for youths—swiftly arrested a 16-year-old in connection with the death and charged them with second-degree murder.

The accused, protected under the Young Offenders Act and thus unnamed, is under 18. Former Ontario Member of the Provincial Parliament and advocate for truth, Randy Hillier, released a video shortly after the incident, revealing details about the alleged killer. Hillier disclosed that the accused is a young boy who identifies as a girl, a revelation that has added to the community’s sense of shock.

Perth, a small town with only about 6,000 residents, is often called “The Retirement Capital of Canada” for its serene, spread-out layout and elderly population. In such a community, an event of this magnitude is unheard of. Former mayor John Fenik, visiting the scene, reflected on the community’s reaction, describing a collective “shock and emotional numbness” that has overtaken Perth. “This is something that doesn’t happen here. It’s a safe, close-knit community. We look after each other,” he said.

Randy Hillier’s video further alleged that the accused had multiple aliases and a reputation for aggression and bullying. Earlier this fall, RAIR Foundation USA covered a protest against the influence of gender ideology in schools, where speakers voiced deep concerns over the impact of SOGI (Sexual Orientation and Gender Identity) education on young people. In Ontario, including towns like Perth, schools are mandated to provide education on SOGI topics as part of the provincial curriculum.

Critics of SOGI, such as Dr. Ann Gillies, argue that this curriculum can be harmful, particularly to impressionable young minds, by pushing complex gender ideologies that may not be developmentally appropriate. Dr. Gillies has expressed concern that exposure to these ideas may contribute to mental health issues and identity confusion, especially in vulnerable youth.

SOGI represents an ideological assault on children and families, pushed by radical left-wing activists determined to dismantle traditional family structures and parental rights. This curriculum indoctrinates young, impressionable students with extreme and confusing beliefs about gender and identity, robbing them of their childhood innocence. Far from fostering inclusivity, SOGI deliberately alienates parents by encouraging secrecy and sidestepping their role in their children’s lives, especially on matters as fundamental as identity. By enforcing this ideology in schools, educators are placing children’s mental health at risk, leading to identity crises, aggression, and confusion. Under the guise of ‘progress,’ SOGI policies systematically undermine the family unit and destabilize communities, turning schools into battlegrounds for extreme gender politics rather than places of learning. SOGI’s unchecked expansion threatens not only the health of children but the moral fabric of society, and communities like Perth are now bearing the tragic consequences.

Speaking at the SOGI protest in the fall, Gillies highlighted how recent studies suggest that individuals undergoing cross-sex hormone therapy and gender-transition procedures often experience “homicidal ideation”—a term describing murderous fantasies directed toward others. This, Dr. Gillies explained, is often accompanied by suicidal ideation, a documented challenge among those undergoing transformative processes.

Many argue that such ideologies may even have contributed to the troubling mindset seen in the young accused. The pressure to explore or adopt a new identity, they argue, leads to a fractured self-concept, particularly if children are introduced to life-altering concepts of gender before they have the emotional tools to process them. Critics say that by embedding gender ideology into schools, educators contribute to confusion, aggression, or mental health challenges in young people—concerns that resonate deeply within small communities like Perth, now grappling with the shocking consequences of youth violence and tragedy.

The victim, Reese Stanzel, was known and loved in the community. Friends described him as a “good, generous, loving soul” who was passionate about outdoor pursuits like fishing, hunting, and biking. Reese had volunteered with local initiatives, including efforts to establish Perth’s first dog park. Community member Tatianna Mosher, who worked alongside him, described the tragedy as deeply painful, calling him “a kind-hearted young man who loved to help.”

As the investigation continues, Perth mourns Reese’s loss and confronts questions about youth mental health and the broader social issues surrounding gender-transition treatments. This tragedy has left a lasting impact on the town, which continues to grapple with an overwhelming sense of loss and search for answers amidst its sorrow.

In the wake of this unimaginable tragedy, the community of Perth has united in an outpouring of support for Reese Stanzel’s family, honoring the memory of a young man known for his kindness, generosity, and dream of one day becoming a police officer to serve others. Through a GoFundMe campaign organized by Cory Wilson, friends, neighbors, and even strangers have come together to help Reese’s family navigate the financial burdens that follow such a profound loss. Already, $26,095 has been raised to assist his parents, Candi and Matt, his stepdad Andrew, sister Chelsie, and brother Ryan, as they face funeral expenses, missed work, and the many costs associated with this heartbreaking event.
