I will always remember when I would leave home and walk down the back lane behind the 3800 & 3900 blocks of Kincaid, I would on most mornings on my way to Moscrop Secondary School, see a panel van with the call letters of radio station CKNW, parked in the lane itself behind one of the houses fronting on Kincaid Street. It always intrigued me why it was only there in the morning. At that time, I thought there was some CKNW Promotion going on in the neighbourhood, as that type of thing wasn’t uncommon in those days in order to encourage listeners to tune in to particular stations. Of course, after quite a period of time with seeing the CKNW vehicle in the lane, I reckoned that someone living around there must’ve been working for CKNW. As it eventually turned out, my Mum knew one of the neighbours to where the occupant of this vehicle was stopping and she asked me if I had noticed it, recognising that such a vehicle may have been parked there – on my way to School. I told her that I saw the CKNW van all the time. She told us that it was Rene Castellani visiting his girlfriend there. Of course, I/we didn’t think too much about it until the news pertaining to the affair itself and Mrs Castellani’s death and Rene Castellani’s arrest and trial became headline news.

Lots of fun and laughs. We were good friends. I’d love to connect with her again. I’ve often thought about her.

I still keep in touch with her now. She is one beautiful woman inside and out and has had a rough life but is one of the strongest women I have ever had the pleasure of knowing. I’m so sorry she had to endure this tragic life.

I was good friends with her , we worked together , back in the day , we have lost contact over the years, I tried to get in touch with her , but not sure, where she is now . I remember her telling me this story , I was saddened about the whole thing , that she had to endure, as a young child . I was at her wedding , she was a beautiful person inside and out .. I remember her first daughter when she was born ..

He told me this story when I was young. I have a prophetic picture from their school yearbook where Rene plays a murderer literally holding a smoking gun I could send you
