The Boozy Barber: The Story of Gilbert Paul Elsie

By Cindy Lee Gimnes

In Vancouver's Downtown Eastside, a predator hid in plain sight. For decades, women were found dead in hotel rooms and alleys - their lives dismissed as accidents, their stories ignored. Behind the mask of a harmless drunk, Gilbert Paul Jordan exploited vulnerable women, using alcohol as a weapon in a pattern of violence that went unnoticed for far too long. This book exposes the man known as the "Boozing Barber," tracing his life, his methods, and the systemic failures that allowed him to evade justice. Through a compassionate lens, it restores dignity to the women whose lives were overshadowed by his crimes - women who deserved protection, respect, and remembrance.
