''Nearly 60 years ago, students at a local independent school found Geraldine Pickford choked to death on the banks of Tannery Creek.
Pickford, 40, had spent four months working as a server at St. Andrew’s College before her murder, and despite considerable publicity, the person responsible for her death was never found.
But local historian David Heard aims to rekindle the cold case next Thursday, October 19, at 7 p.m. with a Gathering and Candlelight Walk, beginning at Machell Park, in Pickford’s memory.
“The 40-year-old was discovered by a group of students on September 20, 1965, at the all-boys boarding school,” says the York Regional Police. “At the time, the creek ran through the college grounds near the rugby and cricket fields. She was found completely nude, her clothes strewn about nearby among pieces of garbage. Working as a server in the college’s dining areas, Geraldine would clock in and clock out repeatedly throughout the day, as boys came and went to eat their meals. After clocking out for the last time and leaving the women’s quarters just after 9 p.m. on September 19, Geraldine was never seen alive again.”
York Regional Police have kept the case open, providing an online hub of information available on the murder, encouraging tips that might help identify the killer.''
