Dudley, Pauline Ivy

Unsolved: The Murder of Pauline Ivy Dudley

Any information, call Halton police at 905-465-8768 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-TIPS (8477)

Pauline Dudley left her parents home on Lakeshore Dr. in Oakville around 10 p.m. to hitchhike her way back to the apartment she shared with her boyfriend in Milton. Her decomposed body was found by a farmer in his Oakville field August 28, 1973.

Here’s are facts and speculations about the case:

Her killer was probably a stranger that picked her up while she was hitchhiking
Robbery was not a motive as her wallet was found at the scene
Her boyfriend has been totally cleared as a suspect in the case
DNA evidence was recovered from the scene although it is not known if it is too degraded to test

Seventeen-year-old Pauline Dudley had settled down in a Milton apartment with her boyfriend after they had spent some time travelling. She was looking forward to finding a job and had recently filled out applications for secretarial work in the area.

She spent some time with friends on Monday, August 10, 1973, before she was dropped off at her parents home on Lakeshore Drive, in the Bronte area of Oakville. Her mother saw her off around 10 p.m. that evening as Pauline planned to hitchhike home to Milton, but her boyfriend said she never arrived. He reported her missing the next day.

A farmer found her fully-clothed body in his Oakville wheat field at Lower Base Line and hwy #25 on August 28, 1983. Her killer had partially concealed her body under hay and her wallet was found lying close by.

Her body was too decomposed to established cause of death or whether she had been sexually assaulted, although it was reported that she suffered a hairline fracture to her jaw. Police collected DNA evidence from the scene.

Possible Suspects

Larry Talbot (pseudonym)

In his book, “A Viable Suspect:The Story of Multiple Murders and How a Police Force’s Reach Proved Too Short for Canada’s Most Notorious Cold Case”, retired OPP officer Barry Ruhl believes a serial killer he calls Larry Talbot could be responsible for the death of Pauline Ivy Dudely, as well as many other girls and women in southwestern Ontario.

At the time of Pauline’s murder, Ruhl was the prime suspect in the case.

In 1971, Talbot broke into Ruhl’s Sauble Beach cottage and attacked his fiancée. Luckily, Ruhl interrupted the assault and arrested Talbot at the scene.

A traveling salesman, Talbot frequented the highways of southwestern Ontario and a “rape kit” was found in his car, but he died before he was thoroughly investigated for any unsolved murders, including:

Lynne Harper, 12, from Vanastra. Her 1959 murder saw Steven Truscott wrongly convicted.
Lynda White, 19, went missing from London in 1968. Her remains were found in Norfolk County in 1973.
Jacqueline English, 15, went missing from London in 1969. Her body was found near Tilsonburg.
Christine Prince, from Toronto, was killed in 1982. Her body was found floating in Toronto’s Rouge River.
Delia Adriano, 25, from Oakville, was killed in 1982. Her body was found in rural Oakville west of Campbellville.
Leah Sousa, 13, from Cumberland Beach, was killed in 1992. Her body was found in her back yard.
Valerie Stevens, 19, from Toronto, murdered in 1992. Her body was found in Burford.
Cindy Hallaway, 17, last seen in Midland, was murdered in 1992. Her body was found near Phelpston.

Prince, Christine

Unsolved: The Murder of Christine Price

Any information, call Toronto Homicide at 416-808-7400 or homicide@torontopolice.on.ca, Case File #24/1982
Call anonymously to Crime Stoppers 416-222-TIPS (8477)

In the early hours of Monday, June 21, 1982, 25-year-old Christine Prince was abducted from downtown Toronto, taken to a hidden lane along the Rouge River in Scarborough, where she was sexually assaulted and murdered.

Here is what police think:

Christine was cautious and would never had accepted a ride from a stranger.
Christine was abducted from the east sidewalk outside of 18 Pinewood Ave. where her umbrella was found.
It is likely there was more than one assailant because the abduction was so quick and noiseless, and to subdue Christine for the 30 km drive to Rouge River.
The assailants were very familiar with the back roads along the Rouge River
Christine’s missing jewelery could have been given as a gift to wife, mother or girlfriend of the assailant.
Tire tracks belonging to a four-wheel drive Toyota were found near the crime scene that may or may not be connected to Christine’s murder.
Police do have DNA evidence collected from the scene.

Help bring Christine’s killer to justice!!

On Sunday, June 20, 1982, Christine Prince met up with her friend, Gloria Betts, to watch a movie at the Yonge- Bloor cinema. Both women had traveled from their homeland of Wales to work as live-in nannies for families in Toronto.

After the movie, they walked to the Four Seasons Hotel to meet up with Christine’s boyfriend, David Curtis-Smith, who was finishing work as a chef at the hotel. The three then went to a cafe nearby for donuts before heading home.

Between 1-1:30 a.m., Monday, June 21, 1982, Christine and Gloria got on the Bloor St. subway heading north to St. Clair St., while David traveled east. Exiting the subway at the St. Clair station, the women caught the westbound St. Clair streetcar. Gloria got off at Bathurst St. leaving Christine to travel two stops to Wychwood Ave., where she got off the streetcar, walked a very short distance to Pinewood Ave. and headed north towards the Kruzick residence.

Her distinctive umbrella was found at 6 a.m. by a woman walking south on Pinewood past Humewood park. Noticing the umbrella was in good condition, she picked it up and hung it on the doorknob of a shop located at St. Clair Ave. W. and Christie St.

The Kruzicks became worried when Christine had not returned by 7:30 a.m. and contacted the police.

Around 9 a.m., Dominic Dodds, a city worker cutting the grass beside HWY 401 near Meadowvale Rd., found Christine’s wallet.

On the morning of Tuesday, June 22, 1982, people walking to work along Sewell’s Rd. spotted Christine’s nude body floating face down in the Rouge River. She had been sexually assaulted and murdered.

Investigators identified the crime scene along a hidden lane that runs beside the Rouge River, about 200 metres upstream from where Christine’s body came to rest. There, they found her clothing and purse, which was missing her wallet and an instant camera, and rope believed to tie her wrists. Two pieces of jewelery that Christine always wore – a gold ring with two joined hearts and a gold watch – were missing and have never been found.

Although she had been badly beaten, Christine’s cause of death was drowning, either by the assailant holding her under water or she was unable to save herself due to her injuries.

Timeline

February, 2002: Elizabeth Rudavsky meets Angelo Heddington after visiting the farm where he worked while she was selling dog tags

May, 2002: Elizabeth and Angelo get married. The two were together for seven months during which Elizabeth never saw her husband in the light after he told her his genitals had been burned and deformed by a previous girlfriend.

Angelo becomes increasingly controlling and violent. He threatens to kill her family, pulls guns on her and violates her body with a metal pipe.

September 21, 2002: Elizabeth stabbed Angelo with a 12-inch butcher knife. When police found her trying to stop the bleeding, she blamed her husband’s injury on a burglar.

But he was still conscious and yelled: “She stabbed me! My wife!”

Elizabeth was arrested and charged with murder after Angelo died on the operating table.

Psychologist and domestic abuse expert Dr. Paul G Jaffe was brought in by police and had sessions over seven months, coming to the conclusion she had “prisoner of war” syndrome – withdrawal and utter hopelessness as a reaction to imprisonment.

During these sessions she revealed the pair had never married – and she was never pregnant. She explained: “It was all a hoax. Angelo wanted me to wear a ring so he could say I was all his.”

Over the course of the investigation, police learned Angelo had a history of abuse and stalking in at least three past relationships.

Bernardo expressed that he was disappointed that Karla Homolka was not a virgin when they met, so she decided to drug her sister and let him take her virginity as a Christmas present.

Homolka drugged Tammy’s alcoholic beverage with halothane – an anesthetic she had stolen from a veterinarian clinic where she worked. Once Tammy was unconscious, she and Bernardo sexually assaulted and video taped her.

Tammy began vomiting from the drug cocktail and choked to death, leaving a chemical burn on her face.

Before calling an ambulance, Bernardo and Homolka put Tammy’s clothes back on and hide all evidence of the drugging and assault. Bernardo says he had attempted to revive Tammy, but was unable to. Her death was originally ruled accidental due to alcohol consumption.

Circumstances

Leslie Mahaffy, 14, was kidnapped from her backyard in Burlington on June 15, 1991. She had missed curfew and her mother had locked the door to teach her a lesson. Bernardo happened to see her there and offered her a cigarette from his car. When she entered the car, he kidnapped her and took her back to the Port Dalhousie neighbourhood home he shared in St. Catharines with Homolka.

Bernardo and Homolka video tape the rape, sodomizing and torture of Mahaffy, which at one point features Bernardo smiling into the camera as she screams in the background and also shows Homolka sexually assaulting the girl.

Both Bernardo and Homolka blamed the other for Mahaffy’s murder. Bernardo claimed he was out gassing up his car and that Homolka killed Mahaffy with a lethal dose of Halcion. Homolka said that Bernardo strangled Mahaffey with an electrical cord.

Mahaffy’s body was dismembered, encased in concrete and dumped in Lake Gibson.

On June 29, 1992, the same day that Bernardo and Homolka get married, boaters found the concrete blocks containing Mahaffy’s arms, legs, feet, and head. The next day a boater found her torso floating in the water.
