Case History
The victim and his unidentified brother, were located in a brush-filled area of Stanley Park in Vancouver, British Columbia Canada in January 1953.
Their heights, weights and eye colors are undetermined due to skeletal remains located at the scene.
The children were covered by what appeared to be a woman's raincape. The bodies were laying in a straight line with their feet almost close together and their heads at opposite directions.
A woman's shoe and an axe were also found at the scene. The axe was most likely used as the murder weapon in these cases, as one victim's skull had a wound to the back of the head which the axe fit in exact proportions. The other skull was fractured by what may have been the hammer of the axe.
This victim described in this Case File was initially believed to be a female child, as seen by the feminine hairstyle shown in the reconstructed image above. DNA testing conducted in 1998 proved that this victim was indeed male and the brother of the victim profiled in Case File 68UMBC.

Vancouver police wish to identify a woman & 2 boys who may or may not have been involved with this case. In 1949 or 1950, a man who worked in a logging camp, who was with his buddy, picked up a woman with 2 children. During the ride, she had told the men that she had been in trouble with the Mission police for vagrancy charges. They learned that either one or both her children at sometime attended Cedar Valley school and that she lived on Cherry Street in Mission, B.C. There is the possibility that the woman had meant "Vag C", which in the criminal code at that time meant prostitution. The only description available for this woman is that she had "red hair". The 2 boys who were with her were about 6 & 7 years old and at least one wore an aviator flying helmet. Because of this lead, the police managed to find the family name of "Grant" but this lead was exhausted after speaking to surviving family members.
