Donna Awcock

On the night of October 12, 1983, 17-year-old Donna Jean Awcock was babysitting for a neighbour in London, Ontario. When her shift ended, she set out for a short walk — but she never made it home. The next morning, October 13, Donna’s body was found near the Thames River by the Fanshawe Dam. She had been sexually assaulted and strangled. For forty years, her case has remained unsolved. In this episode, we explore Donna’s life, the night she disappeared, and the investigation that followed. We also place her case within the pattern of unsolved murders that haunted London, Ontario, during the 1970s and 80s — a city some criminologists later called the “serial killer capital of Canada.” If you have any information about the murder of Donna Jean Awcock, please contact the Ontario Provincial Police or Crime Stoppers. -- This podcast is recorded on the territories of the Coast Salish people.
