75 years ago...
JOAN SMITH, 3 years old
In the innocent post-war years, the murder of a child was virtually unheard of.
The little girl and her brother had been tucked in by their parents and left in the care of a teen babysitter. When they returned home, their child was missing.
...On May 4th, 1946, the body of Joan Smith, age 3, was found about 100 yards from her home at Minaki, District of Kenora. The child’s head had been crushed and the body was nude, with the exception of a pyjama coat...
The case remains unsolved.
