Description

Just shy of 70 years ago, two little skeletons were found by a groundskeeper in Stanley Park in Vancouver, BC.  From the very morning of their discovery, all the way until February 2022, the search for their identities and their killer stretched over 7 decades, multiple investigators, and threatened to remain just a Vancouver horror story until a young woman started asking questions about old family photos.  This is the story of the 1953 Babes in the Woods case of Vancouver, BC.
