Demand the resignation/termination of Detective Jared Buhler
The Issue
This petition is a call for an immediate, independent investigation into Edmonton Police Service (EPS) Detective Jared Buhler with a demand for termination/resignation for his grave misfeasance in public office, abuse of power, and intentional infliction of mental distress.
The Background: Journey to Justice For Eric
For over a year, our family has fought relentlessly for justice, truth, and transparency regarding the tragic death of my 13-year-old nephew, Eric Omeasoo on February 5, 2026.
As self-represented litigants at the time, on August 6, 2026 we took the extraordinary step of filing an Application for Judicial Review against the Edmonton Police Service and the Alberta Crown Prosecution Service and Minister of Justice; exposing what we put on the record as a severe misconduct, abuse of process and essentially the cover up of a child’s murder.
Because we refused to remain silent and actively brought these public bodies to court, my family became a target.
A Cruel Retaliation: The Timeline of Events
In what can only be described as a devastating, targeted act of retaliation, my husband Jason ‘JP’ Phillips was killed just two days (February 23, 2026) before our critical, long-awaited court hearing (February 25, 2026).
My husband was found in the aftermath of the Edmonton #RossdaleFire. He had been brutally assaulted in the abandoned building with injuries that rendered him immobile. We know this because the fire did not reach his remains.
His death was also concealed from the public.
As his legal wife of 14 years, the mother of his children, and his legal next-of-kin, I had an absolute legal right to be notified immediately. I was also identified in the autopsy due to multiple identifying tattoos.
Instead, Detective Jared Buhler abused his position of authority to execute a cruel, unlawful bypass of my rights:
Deliberate Non-Disclosure:
Detective Jared Buhler explicitly informed other members of the Edmonton Police Service on February 24, 2026 that he was going to notify me of my husband’s passing. He even STOPPED two other detectives from the task saying he would do it as he “knows who I am” . He NEVER did.
Bypassing the Legal Next-of-Kin:
In collusion with Alex Sinkovich of the Office of the Chief Medical Examiner, Detective Buhler bypassed me entirely. They even put an alert on my name for if and when I called the OCME.
He deliberately reached out to an estranged family member ON THE OTHER SIDE OF CANADA in an attempt to have my husband's remains shipped out of the city before I could even find out he was dead.
The Cruelty of Discovery: I did not find out about my husband’s death from the police, the medical examiner, or any official channel. Instead, two weeks after Jason’s death, I was contacted on Facebook Messenger by a youth who had heard about my husband’s death but was in denial because I didn’t know. Even this youth knew that a wife of 14 years and his children should have been notified immediately if it were true.
Why Detective Jared Buhler is a Liability and a Danger
This is not merely a procedural error; it is grave misfeasance in public office.
Detective Buhler weaponized the tragic death of a husband and father to inflict maximum psychological trauma on a grieving family, solely to interfere with and retaliate against our active court proceedings.
If a sworn detective is willing to exploit the dead and terrorize a grieving mother and her children to protect the police force from accountability, what else is he capable of?
He has already shown he has no low by participating in the denial of justice for a deceased 13-year-old child. Now, his actions have proven that he is a severe liability to the Edmonton Police Service, a threat to public trust, and a danger to the community he is sworn to protect.
Our Demands:
1. The Immediate removal of Detective Jared Buhler pending a full, independent external investigation into his conduct surrounding the death of my husband.
2. Systemic Oversight to ensure no other family in Alberta is subjected to this level of state sanctioned cruelty and retaliation.
Please sign and share to demand that Detective Jared Buhler if the Edmonton Police Service is held accountable.
Justice for all family’s impacted by this EPS member misconduct! Justice for Eric! Justice for Jason!
