A year later, life goes on along quiet Airdrie Road, just west of Laird Drive. The row of semi-detached houses on the east side of the tree-lined street are all occupied, including the one in which Lise Lebitka lost her life on New Year’s Day 2012. The brick semis that sit between Lea Ave. and Heath Street E are in contrast to the higher-scale semi-detached homes on the west side and a noticeable contrast to the many well-maintained middle class single families homes to see going either direction on Airdrie. Neighbors say there isn’t too much talk about the fateful events of that day. One woman recalled conversation occasionally turns to just when her boyfriend, Paul Hindle, will stand trial for Lise’s death. Some of the neighbors were friendly with the attractive 45-year-old mother of three. After her death, the stories about her relationship with Mr. Hindle suggested that she hoped to change him. In the days following Hindle’s arrest, neighbors began a blue ribbon campaign that saw many trees on the street decorated with this symbol of remembrance. There’s nothing like that to be seen today.
