Leah Sousa (Unsolved Murder)

Send us a Text Message.

In the early hours of September 1st 1990 a person or persons unknown entered the Sousa family home in Cumberland Beach, Ontario, Canada. 13 year old Leah was assaulted in the living room before being dragged to the yard and killed. Her mother Lora was beaten and left for dead, but miraculously survived. Lora’s nine month old baby son was left unharmed in his cot. Despite police believing Lora saw her attacker’s face, the extent of her head injuries means she has no memories of that night. Leah’s murder is the biggest case in Ontario investigative history and, even thirty years on, can still be solved.
