Case History
On the morning of May 3, 1975, this victim was located floating face down in the Nation River about 100 yards from the Highway 417 bridge. The Nation River is west of Casselman, Ontario and just thirty five miles east of Ottawa.
After recovering the body, it was discovered that the victim's wrists were bound together in front using a man's necktie. Two other neckties had been used to secure the ankles.
The victim's head was wrapped in 2 fringed green cloths. Upon removal of the cloths, investigators found that a kitchen towel had been knotted in the back to form a ligature around her neck. A television cable wire had also been wrapped around the victim's neck, over top of the kitchen towel.
Blood evidence found on the bridge suggested that the victim had been killed 1 to 4 weeks prior to discovery. After a recent (2005) re-examination of the case, experts have suggested that the victim may have entered the Nation River as early as the summer of 1974.
The police recovered the following items with the victim's body:
"Irish Toast" towel: This item was manufactured in Ireland, exported to Toronto, Ontario and distributed to stores in Ottawa, Toronto and Montreal. They were sold at $1.39 (Canadian) each and had been stocked in stores for some time. The towel had Irish Gaelic printing on it, spelling out a traditional Irish toast.
A decorative necktie known as a 'Canadian Tie' and bearing three Canadian emblems on a navy blue background. The necktie was manufactured in Montreal and had been sold by various stores in the province of Quebec and in the eastern part of Ontario.
Partial dentures: Initially, it was believed that the woman's dentures had been manufactured abroad. However, it has now been suggested that the dentures were fairly common in Southern Ontario and Canada in terms of quality and materials.
A blue and gray necktie.
A red and white necktie.
2 fringed green cloths: each 70 inches long and 48 inches in width.
Flat black plastic-covered wire: This was the typical wire used in cable television hook-ups. The plastic wire had a slight splattering of gray paint. Subsequent investigation revealed that the cable was manufactured in Renfrew, Ontario and distributed in the Ottawa, Hull, Montreal and Brockville areas.
The only real clue was a vague report from a store clerk in Marmora who remembered selling a provincial necktie to a man and woman couple. The woman matched the victim's description, but the store clerk could not remember a date for the sale.
The male with the woman at that time could only be described as possibly 5'4"-5'6" and about 35 years of age.

Nation River slaying victim had webbed feet: police
Last Updated: Friday, November 3, 2006 | 1:32 PM ET
CBC News
Police have released an intriguing detail in an effort to identify a slain woman in a 30-year-old cold case — the victim had webbed feet.
The slaying of the Nation River Lady has become one of the province's oldest cold cases.
(CBC)
The woman is known to police as Jane Doe, but many also call her the Nation River Lady.
In 1975, a farmer found her body floating in the Nation River, about 60 kilometres east of Ottawa.
She was clad only in an undershirt, a television cable was wrapped around her neck, her feet were bound with neckties and a tea towel was wrapped around her face.
Police believe she was thrown from the eastbound lanes of Highway 417.

The Ontario Provincial Police criminal investigation branch reopened her case a year ago. At the time, they released a sketch of her face and offered a $50,000 reward for information about her.
Police have offered a $50,000 reward for information about the victim.
(Ontario Provincial Police)
Now, police hope the new information will bring in fresh leads.
OPP Det. Insp. Phil George, who is in charge of the case, said someone who was afraid to speak 30 years ago may now be able to do so.
He said he finds it hard to believe that someone didn't know the victim.
"Maybe we just didn't reach out to the right people or they did contact us and we didn't listen," he said this week. "Maybe we just missed it somehow."
Police believe the woman's body was thrown into the Nation River from Highway 417. Those captivated by her story still search the river banks for clues.
(CBC)
Police aren't the only ones searching for clues about the case. The story of the Nation River Lady has touched many people and become an obsession for some.
Among them is Joseph Peltier, who was working as a detective for the OPP's Casselman detachment in 1975 and was first called to the river after the woman's body was discovered.
The subsequent OPP investigation was not able to identify her.
"It was a very frustrating experience — frustrating and heartbreaking, to be quite honest," said Peltier, who is now retired.
Joseph Peltier was a young detective with the OPP on the day the woman's body was pulled from the Nation River after a call from a farmer.
(CBC)
Three decades later, Peltier said the case still affects him deeply and he loses sleep wondering who the victim is.
"Having worked so long and so hard and not to be able to identify the person makes it some kind of emotional issue," he said.
'I've been around I don't know how many times just in case [I] might find a piece of evidence.'
-Retired OPP detective Joseph PeltierPeltier often visits the banks of the Nation River in search of answers.
"I've been around I don't know how many times just in case [I] might find a piece of evidence," he said. "One day I might be lucky and find something."
Toronto grave marked with only a number
Lusia Dion of Ottawa is someone else who visits the river often in search of clues about the Nation River Lady.
Dion is a full-time volunteer with the Doe Network, an international organization devoted to identifying missing persons and unidentified bodies.
For the past three years, she has collected documents, newspaper articles and leads about the case that has become the focus of her efforts.
She said she is very close to her family. She wonders about who might be missing the Nation River Lady and feels someone should.
Lusia Dion said she hopes the number marking the Nation River Lady's grave will one day be replaced with a name.
(CBC)
"It almost touches on immortality in some ways because the generations that follow us are the ones who keep our memories alive," she said.
"It's important for us to take up the cause where there may not be a direct relative to do it," she added, noting that she herself has no children.
One of oldest unsolved slayings
In 1987, the Nation River Lady's body was buried in a Toronto cemetery, where it is marked with a numbered metal plate.
Dion said she hopes that number can one day be replaced with a name.
The Nation River Lady is considered one of the province's oldest unsolved slayings and is one that Ontario police hope will move forward with the help of the "Resolve" Initiative.
The project has a website that lists and describes Ontario's missing persons and unidentified humans remains cases.
According to the Canadian Police Information Centre, more than 8,000 Canadians are listed as missing persons. The Nation River Lady is one of 400 cases of unidentified human remains across the country.

OPP Seeks Public's Help in 30-year-old Murder
CASSELMAN, ON, Nov. 8 /CNW/ - On May 3, 1975, the body of a woman was
found floating in the Nation River near the bridge at Highway 417,
approximately 60 kilometres east of Ottawa. Investigators believe she may have
been in the water since the previous fall of 1974. Despite numerous public
appeals by the OPP during the past 30 years, the woman has never been
identified.
What investigators do know is that she had been strangled with cable
television wire. Her hands and feet had been bound with men's neckties one
described as the 'Canadian Tie' and bearing three Canadian emblems on a navy
blue background.
The OPP is now hoping that the release of a new sketch of the woman,
combined with a $50,000 reward, will trigger someone's memory and provide
investigators with the information they need to identify the victim and to
find the person or persons responsible for her murder.
The victim is described as being a white female between 25 and 50 years
of age, 5'3" (160 cm) tall, weighing 100 pounds (45 kg), with dark brown
shoulder length hair that had been dyed reddish blond. She was wearing a blue
body suit. The woman had had extensive dental work and had had her appendix
removed at some time in her life.
Investigators are also asking the public to consider the possibility that
the victim may be from Quebec because of the proximity to the Ontario-Quebec
border.
It is possible that when the woman was murdered 30 years ago,
acquaintances may not have realized she was missing, or those closer to her
may have been too young to understand.
Anyone with information is asked to call the OPP at 1 888 310 1122 or
CrimeStoppers at 1 800 222-TIPS (8477).

Additional Information : On the morning of May 3, 1975, the victim was located floating face down in the Nation River about 100 yards from the Highway 417 bridge. The Nation River is west of Casselman, Ontario and just 60 km (35 miles) east of Ottawa.
Police discovered that the victim's wrists were bound together in front using a man's necktie. Two other neckties were used to secure her ankles. The woman's head was wrapped in 2 fringed green cloths, described only as being 178 cm (70") by 122 cm (48") in length. After removing the cloths, investigators found that a kitchen towel had been knotted at the back to form a ligature around her neck. A television cable wire had also been wrapped around the victim's neck, over top of the kitchen towel.
Blood evidence found on the bridge suggested that the victim had been killed 1 to 4 weeks prior to discovery. In 2005, the evidence was re-examined by forensic experts. It was suggested that the victim may have entered the Nation River as early as the late summer of 1974.
Police recovered a number of items with the victim's body. These items are described below:
An 'Irish Toast' towel manufactured in Ireland, exported to Toronto, Ontario and distributed to stores in Ottawa, Toronto and Montreal. The towel sold for $1.39 (Canadian) each and was stocked in stores for some time. A traditional Irish toast was printed on the towel and read "For centuries food and drink have been mixed together and this can be ascertained with facts".
A decorative necktie known as a 'Canada Tie'. The tie had a Canadian emblem that appeared in three places. The necktie was manufactured in Montreal and sold by various stores in the province of Quebec and eastern part of Ontario.
Other neckties recovered from the victim are more common in design. One is described as blue and grey. The other has been described as having a red and white diamond-type pattern.
A flat black plastic-covered wire of the type typically used in cable television hook-ups. The wire had a slight splattering of grey paint. Subsequent investigation revealed that the cable was manufactured in Renfrew, Ontario and distributed in the Ottawa, Hull, Montreal and Brockville areas.
Partial dentures worn by the woman were initially thought to have been manufactured abroad. Recent information suggests that the dentures were fairly common in southern Ontario and throughout Canada in terms of quality and materials used.
During the course of the initial investigation, a store clerk in Marmora recalled selling a Canada tie to a couple. The woman matched the victim's general description. Unfortunately, the store clerk could not remember the date of the sale. The male accompanying the woman could only be described as approximately 163 - 168 cm tall (or 5'4" to 5'6" tall) and about 35 years of age.

Prank letter writers charged in “cold case” murders
November 13 2008
by vision@eap.on.ca
Two Orillia men now face charges of mischief for anonymous letters they sent to the police more than a decade ago about the “Nation River Lady” murder case and another separate murder investigation in the Orillia area.
The “Nation River Lady” is the name given to the case involving an unidentified woman found in The Nation River near Casselman on May 3, 1975. The unknown victim was wearing just an undershirt. She had television wire wrapped around her neck and her hand and feet were bound with three neckties.
The other case is the Leah Sousa murder in Orillia. Sousa, 13, was found dead on Cumberland Beach near Orillia. The girl and her mother, Lora, were both at home asleep on Sept. 1, 1990 when they were attached by unknown assailants.
Both received severe head injuries. The mother recovered but the girl died as a result of the attack.
Both murders remain unsolved. During the early and mid 1990s, police received several anonymous letters about the two cases purporting to provide information. Police investigation has since proven the information bogus and also determined the identities of the senders.
Two Orillia men, both in their 60s, are now charged with public mischief and scheduled to appear in court in Orillia.
Police are still looking for information on the Sousa home invasion murder and clues to help solve the identity of and close the case on the “Nation River Lady”.

Prank letter writers charged in “cold case” murders

Two Orillia men now face charges of mischief for anonymous letters they sent to the police more than a decade ago about the “Nation River Lady” murder case and another separate murder investigation in the Orillia area.
The “Nation River Lady” is the name given to the case involving an unidentified woman found in The Nation River near Casselman on May 3, 1975. The unknown victim was wearing just an undershirt. She had television wire wrapped around her neck and her hand and feet were bound with three neckties.
The other case is the Leah Sousa murder in Orillia. Sousa, 13, was found dead on Cumberland Beach near Orillia. The girl and her mother, Lora, were both at home asleep on Sept. 1, 1990 when they were attached by unknown assailants.
Both received severe head injuries. The mother recovered but the girl died as a result of the attack.
