D, first, no updates really...just a bunch of satellite court appearances that seem to accomplish nothing other than setting next court date for each of the accused...i heard through a bit of an insider that they have little concrete on him other than her negotiated testimony...potentially deflating...then again, if he was set up by her and somehow incredibly innocent, i feel for the guy...btw, there was a memorial service for Tori, still not found

ok, as for the perplexed childhood experience...seems i was older than i thought (almost a teen) but still rural naive and still relatively wee ...i found this cold case reference cos I've always remembered her name but not quite how to spell it...we didnt actually stumble on the scene first or even at all so not sure where they got that tidbit but the eery thing is that we had been doing evil kneivel bike jumps on other dirt piles within eyesight of 'that' mound for hours earlier that afternoon...can't believe she was there for most of the beautiful summer's day before noticed, sad

during an errand, i returned to see my old school 2 years ago for first time in 1/4 century...i went over to that spot which is now paved over as part of quite a large lot...so many changes and quite an ethnic area now...i felt old

"●At 5:30 on the afternoon of Thursday, August 21st, 1975, two young boys riding their bikes on mounds of top soil on the grounds of German Mills Public School at 61 Simonston Blvd. in Thornhill, just north of Toronto, stumbled upon the dead body of a young woman. She was 18-year-old Tracy Kundinger, who lived with her parents on nearby Monsanto Ct. She had been strangled with a piece of twine. There was no sexual assault. She had not been reported missing because her parents were away on holiday and she was home alone.
Police believed Kundinger, returning from her summer job as a lifeguard at a pool in downtown Toronto, took a shortcut northbound through a park after getting off a Toronto Transit bus at Leslie St. and Steeles Ave. E. Wednesday night, and that her killer followed her as she made her way through the woods.
A few days later, police issued an appeal seeking a suspect. Described as a white male in his early to mid-20s, about 5'8" to 5'11", with a fair complexion and well-groomed light-brown hair combed over his forehead, he was the only other passenger with Kundinger on the bus on Wednesday night, and they got off at the same stop at about 10:50 p.m.
A solid suspect was later arrested, a 34-year-old mental patient who had an unusual interest in the crime, but the case against him fell apart in 1977 when it was established he had been fed details of the crime by a former policeman."

subject change:
hope you're enjoying the summer and loved ones, D...cheers
