''HUNTER: Sex worker's 1990 cold case murder 'has multiple DNAs'​

The 1990 murder of sex worker Lyle Ford remains unsolved.

In the files of the Toronto Sun, there is nary a mention of Lilliane Lyle Ford.

''There are very few traces of her elsewhere for that matter. Cops offer a terse 199 words that are the summation of the 42-year-old woman’s time on this rock.

Ford’s appearance on the Toronto Police homicide page offers little flesh. She is one of the murder victims of September.
In her case, she was victim #0391990.

On Sept. 9, 1990, a couple walking their dog found her body around 7:30 a.m. in Crombie Park at the Esplanade and Sherbourne St. Her clothes were dishevelled and the pants she was wearing were pulled down.

An autopsy revealed that Ford — originally from the U.S. — had been strangled to death. She had suffered bite marks in the attack and had been sexually assaulted.

It had been a hard slide for Ford.

“She was separated and had developed an alcohol addiction,” Det.-Sgt. Steve Smith, of the cold case unit, told the Sun. “She had an apartment, but more often than not lived in women’s shelters.”
And she embarked on the perilous journey as a sex worker.


Smith added: “DNA was developed but at the time, it was insufficient. In fact, there were multiple DNAs from the bite marks and from semen.”
