Who was the woman in the concrete floor? The unanswered questions behind one of Toronto’s oldest cold-case mysteries

''Who was the woman in the concrete floor? The unanswered questions behind one of Toronto’s oldest cold-case mysteries

''Sun., Feb. 14,
The body of the smallish woman appeared when demolition workers tore up the floor of Robertson Motors at Danforth and Coxwell Avenues on May 19, 1995.

She had been hidden from sight for decades entombed in concrete.

How she got there was a mystery. An autopsy showed she died from a severe beating, after suffering massive head injuries.

“She actually has been kind of mummified,” Det.-Sgt. Jim Crowley said at the time. “The air would never have gotten to her.”

Soon, Crowley found himself oddly bonded to the anonymous woman found under the auto dealership, which had been converted into the Robertson Parkette.

Ideally, he wanted to catch her killer, but he knew this was unlikely, given the passage of time.''
