Susan Tice moved to Toronto from Calgary, hoping to start anew after a recent divorce. Known for her compassion and dedication, Susan worked tirelessly in the social services sector, making a difference in many lives. Tragically, her career and dreams were cut short when she was found stabbed to death in her home on Grace Street on August 17, 1983. Despite an exhaustive investigation, the case went cold as leads dwindled and the murderer remained elusive.
Erin Gilmour was a young woman full of promise and vitality, dreaming big in Toronto’s bustling arts scene. The daughter of a prominent Canadian businessman, Erin had the world at her feet, balancing her time between modeling assignments and the hopes of making it big in the acting world. On December 20, 1983, Erin’s life was violently ended when she was discovered fatally stabbed in her upscale Yorkville apartment. Like Susan, Erin’s case perplexed investigators who found no immediate suspects or connections to other crimes.
