Nova Scotia Shooter (PART 6, Adelheid)

Continuing on from my earlier post in this series, Nova Scotia Shooter (Part 4, Heidi), we return once again to Constable Heidi Stevenson.  While watching an interview with someone who knew 2 of the victims (they belonged to the same “Hockey family”)what stood out was that the person interviewed was named Heidi.   It occurred to me that Heidi is pronounced “hidee” ... where the word “hide” is  clearly seen.  Heidi is not that common a name in Canada, and so two cropping up is a prompt to investigate the name itself.  Note the following excerpt from the Behind the Name site regarding the name Heidi:

German diminutive of ADELHEID. This is the name of the title character in the children's novel Heidi (1880) by the Swiss author Johanna Spyri. The name began to be used in the English-speaking world shortly after the 1937 release of the movie adaptation, which starred Shirley Temple.

The origin of the name is Adelheid, and so communicating “Adel Hide... a dell hide”, and the info re Heidi, and Swiss author Johanna Spyri.  So we have our next lead, Johanna Spyri, and she’s also an addition to the recent “John...” pattern cluster... a definite twin heads upp, note from her wiki page:

Johanna Louise Spyri (12 June 1827 – 7 July 1901) 

Her birthday stands out given the following from my previous post: 

• Margit Buchhalter Feldman (June 12, 1929 – April 14, 2020) 
• Cyril Lawrence (12 June 1920 – 14 April 2020)  

The two born on June 12 stand out because this is also the birthday of my step grand daughter, the step daughter of my step son Gillm

Keep in mind as well that my birthday is June 13, and the birthday of President Trump is June 14.   And so expanding the clusters in the earlier post (Part 4):

• “June 8, __,  10, 11(x2), 12(x5), 13(x2), 14, ...,  17, __, 19,  ..., 22, ..., 25 ..., 28/ Date Sequence” pattern cluster. 
• “June 12(x5)” pattern cluster 

Note this next excerpt regarding the name Adelaid:

Means "noble type", from the French form of the Germanic name Adalheidis, which was composed of the elements adal "noble" and heid "kind, sort, type". It was borne in the 10th century by Saint Adelaide, the wife of the Holy Roman emperor Otto the Great. In Britain the parallel form Alice, derived via Old French, has historically been more common, though this form did gain some currency in the 19th century due to the popularity of the German-born wife of King William IV, for whom the city of Adelaide in Australia was named in 1836.

Note the following info re the notable persons mentioned: 

• Otto I (23 November 912 – 7 May 973)
• Adelaide of Italy (German: Adelheid; 931 – 16 December 999 AD)
• William IV (21 August 1765 – 20 June 1837)  
• Adelaide of Saxe-Meiningen (13 August 1792 – 2 December 1849) 

My mother was born on his birthday ... and so an addition to the “Targeting Family Birthdays” pattern cluster.  And the birthdays of my two sisters are December 14 and 18, and so Adelaide’s date of death generates a “December 14, 16, 18/Even Day Date Sequence” pattern cluster .  August 21 is one off from my fathers august 20 birthday and June 20 is one off from the birthday of this blog, and so 2 additions to the “Off By One” pattern cluster.
