''The store wasn’t far from her home, which was located at 813 St. Mary’s Rd. in Winnipeg's St. Vital neighbourhood.''
''Also, at the time, St. Vital was regarded as a really safe neighbourhood''.

''At 11 a.m. the next day, a relative discovered the little girl’s partially frozen body in a vacant lot at Fermor Avenue and St. Mary’s Road.''

''An autopsy revealed that Geraldine had been stabbed six times in the back and chest with a spring-blade (a type of folding knife) that was 15 to 18 centimetres in length and about two centimetres wide.
According to media reports from the time, Geraldine was fully clothed. Three buttons had fallen off her jacket but were later found under her body in the snow.''

''Leonard Settee told reporters that on the evening of Dec. 5, 1969, Geraldine had answered a mysterious phone call that left her feeling scared.
The next day, she fainted after the phone rang again, he said.''

''Geraldine was last seen on New Year's Day, walking from the family home on St. Mary's Road.
She was on her way to a nearby drugstore to buy pop and chips.
Geraldine didn't return home.''

''The Crown confirmed a youth was charged under the Juvenile Delinquents Act but that the charge was stayed in 1972 "because there was not sufficient evidence to support the Crown proceeding with charges," the Crown said in an emailed statement to CBC News.''

''It was only after her death the family learned two teens in the area had been threatened by a youth with a knife one week before she was murdered.

The family believes the same person is responsible for Geraldine's death.''
