I was shocked to learn of this case – Rhona was only 2 or 3 years younger than my older sibs (who both went to Delbrook) and 5 years older than me (I went to Balmoral and then Carson), and we lived on the east side of Lonsdale, not far from Queens Rd. I had never heard of this case before reading about it here.

I agree, the perpetrator probably is “hidden in plain sight” – reminds me of the killer of Christine Jessop and how it was definitively proven to not be Guy Paul Morin at all but instead a family friend named Calvin Hooper who the police didn’t even interview.

Predators are often hidden in plain sight in normal looking families or through friends with too-friendly fathers. I don’t believe in the sneak from the party theory or man in a car because it sounded like a quarrel between two people who knew each other.

Did they get the DNA from the person that is suspect to verify if it was them or not?

Yes. Speculation. School gossip can be a horrid thing but the halls have no hiding places. Someone is always watching.
First clue to me was ” in sight of her home” ! Must be a neighbour that is the killer. If a stranger why kill?
Doubtful anyone from that party followed them/ her home. Footsteps in a quite area esp in 76 would be noticeable. Why do some know? Did she spurn someone who took it to the ultimate revenge?

Everybody is a good sixty year old or more now. If he was at the party, somebody alive today is still covering for him. Maybe he was a resident of another suburb and committed suicide the next day. We all want closure, this is so close to home for me. Thank you for bringing this crime back to light Eve.

Praying the family finds the answers
