''Police in Hamilton say they are investigating the murder of a 79-year-old retired nurse who was found dead in her apartment after missing a check-in with her family.
Gladys Little’s family went to her apartment to check on her on Saturday around 4 p.m. after she missed her daily check-in with her son. They discovered her body after entering the apartment at 187 Park Street South and immediately called 911, police said Thursday.
In an interview, Hamilton police told CP24.com that Little was found with “obvious injuries.”
Hamilton police said they undertook a “complete canvass” of the 22-storey apartment building yesterday and are combing through security camera footage for clues.
Thom called the murder “strange” and advised people in the area to be vigilant.
“Obviously it’s disturbing that this type of thing has happened,” he said. “Until we have a better idea of what caused it and who’s behind it, just a reminder to people to maintain some vigilance when they’re out and about and when they have individuals knocking at the door.”
''He said criminals who wander into apartment buildings can sometimes take advantage of unlocked doors.''
''Investigators are asking anyone from the building who saw or heard any suspicious activity or people between 1 p.m. on Friday and 4 p.m. on Saturday to call the Major Crime Unit.''
