To amateur and professional cold case investigators: Your assistance   is urgently  needed to help identify this long neglected victim!

 The victim’s remains were discovered on July 16, 1980, on the  Eleventh Concession near Steeles Avenue in Markham, Ontario and he is believed to have died approximately 3 years earlier.  In 1983, three years after the body was found, for some unknown reason, the body and the clothing found with it were buried at Mount Pleasant Cemetery essentially causing all physical evidence to disappear.

 In 2007, the remains were exhumed, believing a possible connection with the murders of Richard Hovey and Eric Jones who were identified through massive media coverage of facial reconstructions. (Please see links below).

The skull of The Man in the Red High Heels had been virtually reassembled from  fragmented remains and recreated in  3d on a rapid prototype printer at John Abbott College, QC. The facial reconstructions were completed within 3 weeks and delivered to York Regional Police Cold Case Unit in July 2009.  The facial reconstruction of The Man in the Red High Heels has been exposed once on the national news in Dec 2009 at approximately 8:10 am. (News coverage is to the best of the artist’s information).

To date, the facial images and clothing sketches have never been posted on the unidentified bodies site belonging to the Ontario provincial authorities. While there may have been more local media releases in the Toronto area, it is the artist’s opinion that news coverage of any cold case file must be extensive and repeated in order that just one person out there with the knowlege of the deceased can recognize the images and the story.

The 2d reconstruction has never been seen as a 3d photo was incorrectly posted instead on the police website.

The full body clothing sketch is the artist’s initial impression received from a meager available description. Although the shoes were described as pink and red, the pink portion could never be pin-pointed. Specific details of the shirt and jeans are only an impression as no examples were offered at the time of the drawings.

The Lady in the Well:  Unidentified skeletal remains.

The Lady in the Well is Saskatoon Police Services' oldest cold case file. In June 2006 a body was found in what used to be an old well in the area that was once called Sutherland Saskatchewan and is now part of Saskatoon..

 
The murderer sawed the victim's arm in order to fit the body into a barrel before tossing it into the well.  Forensic investigations by Saskatoon Police and archaeologist Dr. Ernie Walker determined that the Lady in the Well died between the years of 1920 to 1924. She was a healthy white female, approximately 5 ft, 1 inch in height with light brown to reddish brown hair, possibly middle class.  Her jaw bone was not found so in life she could have had a larger or smaller chin. Eye colour is unknown.

Local historians and textile experts were able to assemble a clothing recreation from the remnants discovered in the well. A broken 18 karat gold chain, missing its pendant was found with the remains. Gold of this quality would have been a rarity in the Prairies a century ago and likely came from Europe or Eastern Canada.

Saskatoon Police Services are determined to solve this case. You can help if you have a missing family member whose story fits the details and /or possibly recognize the face from old family photos.
