S5 E49 Murder at Swan Lake

In January 1943, fifteen-year-old Molly Justice took the 5:50 pm bus from her job in Victoria, BC and got off at Swan Lake near her Saanich home. Her body was found a few hours later lying face down in the snow. She had been stabbed more than 20 times and hit on the head with a rock. What followed was one of the most seriously botched police investigations of last century. This episode is based on a chapter from my book Cold Case BC : The Stories Behind the Province's Most Intriguing Murder and Missing Person Cases.
