Murder of Margaret Mcwilliam
The murder of Margaret Mcwilliam (21 September 1965 - 27 August 1987) was committed inside Warden Woods Park, Toronto, Ontario. Canada, on 27 August 1987. 21 year-old Margaret was beaten, raped and murdered by an unknown male suspect.
At around 7:00 PM on August 27 1987 Margaret left her basement apartment that she has rented in Santomonica Blvd. She went for her regular jog in Warden Woods Park which she entered on the southwest corner of Warden and St.Clair. While jogging Margaret was apparently ambushed by her offender, who dragged her of the path of Warden Woods Park and to a secluded area on the Park, where the offender fought with Margaret and beat her up. The offender took off her clothes and raped her, then used her sweatshirt to strangle her until she died. The offender left her clothes in a neat pile around her and took her headphones from her walkman. Police say the offender had a easy escape.
The next morning when Margaret was not seen at work, her manager called the house where she rented the basement. The owner checked and found her keys dangling in the lock. Police were called. Later that afternoon a police tracker dog found her body. She was found face up with bruises all over her face with two blackened eyes.
A few months later police came up with a composite sketch and the description of the shoes of a light skinned black man with a moustache seen leaving Warden Woods Park at around 8:00 PM. A reward was announced for anyone who can lead into the arrest, but it was never claimed. More recently a strong male DNA profile has been created from the crime scene, but he is not in the National DNA databank so he is not a recognized person.
