"Murder sent woman into state of shock
Coping with a cold case has been harder for Carol Siegel, who went into what she called a years-long state of shock after her 21-year-old daughter's death. Susan Anne Siegel's battered body was found on a sidewalk near a set of railway tracks in an industrial part of Toronto in December 1984. She had been strangled.

News of her death sent Carol Siegel into a tailspin.

"I just lost it," she recalled of the day she learned the news. "I've never thrown anything before but I took the phone and I just threw it at my husband."

For the next 17 years, Siegel spent her life in a haze, wrecked by her daughter's death, frustrated with the lack of answers from police and unable to process her grief. It took another personal shock – a separation from her husband – to jolt her back to reality. The 75-year-old now says she's stopped hoping police will catch her daughter's killer.

"I had to make peace with the situation," she said softly. "Because 25 years is too long."

CRIME HUNTER: Cold cases prove December deadly | Toronto Sun
Eight days before Christmas in 1984, the body of sex worker Susan Siegel was found in the early morning hours near the former west end stockyards on Ethel Ave. She had been strangled to death.
But cops believed because of the absence of her clothes that she was likely murdered elsewhere and her body dumped at the remote site.''

TERROR ON THE STROLL: Scores of Toronto sex worker slayings unsolved

By the mid-1980s, the Inglewood Arms at 295 Jarvis St. in downtown Toronto had seen better days.

12 Nov '22
“We have DNA in 42 unsolved homicides and more than 100 sexual assaults. It’s only a matter of time. In the old days in sex worker murders it was often like looking for a needle in a haystack. Where would you start?”

Susan Siegel was murdered days before Christmas in 1984.

''The family of 21-year-old sex worker Susan Anne Siegel has been waiting decades for answers.
On Dec. 17, 1984, she was found strangled to death on a sidewalk near the old Toronto stockyards on Ethel Ave.
Cops believed because of the absence of her clothes that she was likely murdered elsewhere and her body dumped at the remote site.''

“Many of them are solvable but it does take time, particularly with the genealogical DNA,” Smith said. “We want to solve every last one of them — for the victims, their families and ourselves.”

Why do detectives believe Susan Siegel was a sex worker? Did anybody reliable confirm that or is it assumed the victim was a sex worker based on her age, a rumor, or how she was discovered naked?
