CANADA Canada - Nicole Morin, 8, Toronto, 30 July 1985

[toronto_allie]

I read the article today too... hits close to home. I think of her often and pray she's somehow alright. I hope there's a break in the case soon.

At 1.26 approx. Nicole's father says something about a loose thread in the case is the mystery blonde woman who was apparently seen, on the day of Nicole's disappearance.
So who is the mystery blonde woman?

"Video: Nicole Morin’s father holds onto hope on thirty-year anniversary of her disappearance

“I never thought that it would run so long. You just keep going one year at a time, and you keep hoping,” Art Morin told CityNews Thursday.

"Nicole Morin, missing for 30 years, honoured with Etobicoke run, vigil
8-year-old went missing after leaving her apartment building

CBC News Posted: Aug 19, 2015"

"A community run and vigil is being Wednesday night in Etobicoke in honour of Nicole Morin, the little girl who went missing 30 years ago.

Morin was eight years old when she disappeared on July 30, 1985, after leaving her Etobicoke apartment building to meet a friend. Toronto police, who organized tonight's event, are hoping it could lead to more tips in the case, which has never been closed."

So there was a service elevator with a rear exit.

I also noticed that it was a media request about the blond woman and not a LE request. That makes me wonder even more who knows what.

Yes it is. I will not stop doing anything I legally can to bring her home.

My thought is that the people that were around that day need to recall every little detail of that day out loud with someone they can trust. Generally people try to remember something out of the ordinary that they might have seen, when there are times that they might have something important in an ordinary occurrence. It's sometimes the normal looking things you see that could make the difference. If you were around that morning search your memory. A few times.

May not be related. Human remains were found in Springwater township, North of Barrie off of a wooded trail of of Gill Street. This article mentions that this is near the area where police looked for Morin based on a tip a few years ago. Police have not mentioned how old they believe the remains are, if they belong to a man, woman or child. There is too much snow and ice in the area to access the scene completely.

RIP whoever you are.

The discovery is about 5 kms away from the search area at Horseshoe Valley Road and Old 2 Road North area from the tip submitted in October 2014.

Here is the story about the woman who called about what she remembered on August 1st 1885. She was 11 at the time. She heard a girl screaming, and so did her mother and neighbours in the area of Springwater Township. Police went back in 2014 to the same area again.

Video has photos of her childhood rural property.

In early October 2014, OPP joined forces with Toronto police to search the wooded area off Old Barrie Road North, about 10 minutes north of the Gill Road scene, to search for eight-year-old Nicole Morin who disappeared from her Etobicoke apartment building 30 years ago.


When asked about the possibility of Morin's body being found, Kinney said, “I'm really not in a position in this investigation to speculate on the identity of the individual we have found the remains of.”

This is precisely why photos and conversation concerning the missing and murdered, featured on this and other sites, can help keep cold cases alive and perhaps " trip a memory" perhaps generating important tips, imo.

From the link,

Billie: “I saw a photo of her probably about four years ago and it brought back the flood of memories and then I started having nightmares again and hearing the screaming in my head.”

Remains off of Gill Road are not Nicole Morin. RIP Jamiee Lee Miller. It is a homicide.

Well I am not sure how far we should go along tracing ethnicity and crime though obviously it is one kind of network: ...... So what about Alison Parrot did she have a French background? There are so many ways this could go though of course the criminal one and the theme about bikers and the rumour and I think it is only that that she was kidnapped by organized crime and taken to Florida and killed involves organized criminality.

Just rereading this thread after a long absence. A propos of Alison Parrott, yes, she had some kind of French background - she was enrolled at Ecole Publique Gabrielle Roi, the only Toronto School Board's French language (not French immersion) school. To be a student there, one or both parents had to be Francophone, though I heard rumours about people skirting around the rules. So it is likely one parent or both was French or bilingual by culture, whether "racially" (whatever that means) or not.

For some reason, I remember watching a program on Alison Parrott's case and think her mother actually spoke with a British accent?

I never actually considered the two cases to be related - thought that Roy had spotted Parrott at a track meet or practicing with her team and singled her out.

I was just thinking about Nicole today and I found this article which has a comment underneath it from May 2016 which says "I was there when they killed her". http://www.huffingtonpost.ca/2014/07/30/nicole-morin-missing-toronto-police_n_5634635.html

It might be just a troll, but I wanted to post it anyway. I looked at the commenter's facebook profile, and she appears to be from Ontario, Canada and seems a very ordinary person.

Yeah, that's odd.

2007 documentary with Lesley Parrott @ 1: 40 ( Scottish /British accent ), imo.

March 31, 2008

Would you be able to forgive someone who did something unspeakable to you – who killed someone you love, for example? That was obviously the question on filmmaker Johanna Lunn’s mind as she tackled the stories of four characters who have lived through brutal days only to resurface looking to make sense of what has happened to them.
The four tales in question are the most terrible imaginable: Lesley Parrott’s daughter was stalked, raped and strangled;
