CRIME HUNTER: Canadian Jane Doe slain in 1968 remains a mystery | Toronto Sun
''The last time anyone saw her alive, the woman in the green and white polka dot dress was walking along a two-lane rural stretch called the Ten-Ten Rd.
Aside from her killer, the next time she was seen she had been burned alive.''
''April 27, 1968 was one of those warm spring days in North Carolina. A fine day for a walk through the countryside in Wake County, south of Raleigh, in the western end of the state.
That was also the beginning of an enduring mystery that remains essentially unsolved to this day. The victim has never been identified but from the beginning, cops believed she had traveled down from Canada to meet a tobacco-picking paramour.
Which could mean she was from southwestern Ontario in the tobacco-growing regions of Tillsonburg, Delhi and Simcoe.''
''Robert Reagan was a local tobacco picker who had done the back-breaking work in Canada as well.
Detectives believed that the unknown woman had traveled from Canada to meet Reagan and then he killed her. At the time of the murder, he was brought in but never charged.
He was violent womanizer and boozehound, cops said.''
''Investigators believe the mystery woman died a day before she was found and was white with possibility some Native heritage. She was about 5-foot-3, weighed around 130 pounds, had black hair, small ears, and a surgical scar below the left side of her naval with an A positive blood type.''
