What happened to the 2 children found dead in Stanley Park? An update on an old Vancouver cold case
CTV
A partnership between police and a U.S.-based genetic genealogy company may lead to answers in a decades-old cold case.
A grisly discovery was made at the site of one of Vancouver's most popular tourist destinations nearly seven decades ago.
The bodies of two young boys, believed to be below the age of 10, were found in Stanley Park on Jan. 15, 1953. The boys had obvious head wounds and their bodies were covered up.
A woman's fur coat, a picnic basket of food and a hatchet that was likely the murder weapon were found nearby.
Who were they? It's still not known 69 years after the boys' remains were found. It's not even known when exactly the boys were killed, as their remains were already skeletal when discovered by a park groundskeeper.
The remains of the so-called "Babes in the Woods" have been examined several times over the years, but they've never been identified, beyond that they were half-brothers.
As far as cold cases go, this one is pretty frosty. But is it possible the case is starting to thaw?
Last year, Vancouver police announced a partnership with an American genetic genealogy company, saying they hoped the group would be able to figure out more about the children, maybe leading police to further answers.
