Who killed the 'The Nation River Lady'?
Listen | Print
By KJ Mullins May 5, 2010 in Crime
May 3, 1975 was the day a local farmer came across a woman who
had been brutally murdered in the Nation River. The victim had
been strangled with a piece of cable television wire and bound
with men's neckties. She was wearing just a blue undershirt and
had no ID on her body.
The Nation River Lady could have been in the water since the
fall of 1974 or for just three weeks prior to her discovery.
The cold case is still being investigated lead by Detective
Inspector Guy Faucher. The police believe she was thrown into
the river from the west bound Highway 417 lane bridge at the
Nation River.
Faucher said during a phone interview that the victim did not
have children.
"The evidence at what was left at what is believed to be where
The Nation River Lady was dropped into the river points to the
victim being killed in another location," Faucher said, "We
believe that she was in the river for about four weeks but if
she had been frozen she could have been dead longer than that
prior to her discovery."
Faucher and his team have recovered over 300 missing persons
reports from that time period and come up empty.
"The dental work from the victim was published in the Ontario
Dental Journal," Faucher said, "We believe that she could have
been from another area of Canada or even out of the country
because of this."
Faucher is hopeful that a reward of $50,000 could lead to
identifying the victim and solving her murder.
"We hope that people will view the updated composite picture and
give us a tip," Fauncher stressed, "None of our cases are ever
closed until we have the answers."
The Nation River Lady was slight, she was only 100 pounds and
5'3". At some time during her life she had her appendix removed.
She also had extensive dental work completed and was wearing
partial dentures at the time of her death.
The Nation River Lady was white and between the ages of 25 to
50. Her dark brown hair had been dyed reddish-blonde and she had
painted, manicured fingernails.
The Government of Ontario is offering a $50,000 reward for
information that leads to the arrest and conviction of the
murderer of the "Nation River Lady".
Anyone having information about the "Nation River Lady" or her
murder is asked to call the OPP at 1-888-310-1122 or Crime
Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477.

OPP create bust of ‘Nation River Lady’ in attempt to solve cold
case murder
Police have created a 3-D clay reconstruction bust of a woman
killed four decades ago, in their effort to solve the bizarre
cold case murder of the victim dubbed the “Nation River Lady.”
On May 3, 1975, a farmer found the remains of a woman floating
in the Nation River, near the town of Casselman, in eastern
Ontario. She was nude except for a large navy blue body suit,
and wrapped in two pieces of green cloth and two towels, her
hands and feet bound with neckties.
She had a pink manicure and partial upper and lower dentures
that spoke of a well-to-do lifestyle, according to pathologists.
She was white, aged 25-50 years, between 5-foot-2 and 5-foot-8,
with brown hair dyed a reddish blonde. Even years after her
death, police told the Star that they were baffled that no one
had reported her missing.
In 1999, her case was one of 150 unsolved homicides across the
province that was reopened, and in 2010, a $50,000 reward was
offered for information that could help find her killer.
A medical examination showed that she’d been strangled with two
feet of television antenna wire before being thrown from a
bridge on Highway 417 into the river. It’s unknown exactly how
long she was in the water before she was located, but her face
was preserved enough to create detailed sketches and now, a 3-D
model.
A forensic artist with the Ontario Provincial Police, Const.
Duncan Way, created the 3-D clay facial reconstruction.
The OPP are hoping that someone might recognize her and come
forward with information. They even have a dedicated Nation
River Lady tipline at 613-591-2296.

The OPP are following up on more than 18 tips they have received
since the Aug. 1 launch of a social media campaign on the Nation
River lady, an unidentified female found dead in 1975. Above,

In early August the OPP launched a successful social media
campaign in an effort to reinvigorate a homicide investigation
that has been ongoing since 1975.
The remains of a female, which came to be known as Nation River
Lady, were discovered in the Nation River by a local farmer,
south of the Town of Casselman on May 3, 1975. OPP investigators
wanted to reintroduce this case to the public in an effort to
identify her and identify the person(s) responsible for her
death.
Since the media launch on the morning of Aug. 1, the OPP has
received and is following up on more than 18 new tips so far
from the public. The total number of impressions or times the
content was displayed on Facebook in English was 28,016 and
French was 65,374. Videos posted to the OPP's Facebook account
in both languages received a total of 21,098 views. Twitter was
equally successful with the content being viewed in English
32,048 times and French 7,274. As well, many news agencies
broadcasted the information.
With advances in technology and the OPP forensic artist, the
social media campaign contained numerous photographs of the
items located on or with the Nation River Lady at the time of
discovery and released a video of the three-dimensional clay
facial reconstruction of Nation River Lady's head and face.
Under the direction of case manager Det. Insp. Dan Nadeau, of
the Criminal Investigation Branch and Missing Persons and
Unidentified Bodies Unit (MPUB), police continue to followup on
all information provided and thank everyone who has called or
provided information via email. Anyone with new information on
the case can call the dedicated missing persons hotline
