On October 18th of 1945 an 18-year-old girl went missing when she was headed to a school dance at the Technical High School in Sault Ste Marie, Ontario, Canada. Her disappearance would quickly turn into a murder case and the case itself and the story around it would actually span nearly fifty years. This week we talk about the disappearance, the grizzly discovery of the body, the confession and the subsequent fallout of the confession nearly fifty years later.
