The "Babes in the Woods" murder case
The most infamous murder case in the history of Vancouver, British Columbia was unearthed on January 15, 1953 when the tiny skeletons of two children were found under leaves and a woman's "oilskin" coat deep in Stanley Park. For 45 years these children were thought to be a boy and a girl under 10 years of age. Dubbed the "Babes in the Woods," there was renewed interest in 1998 when DNA testing on the teeth of the skeletons revealed they were actually half-brothers. Can you help identify them?

I have been working on this case for neary six years and feel that I can name the aunt who killed them that day in October 1947
Hi Anonymous,
I'm interested in your theory about this case. Is this woman (i.e., the aunt)still alive? Do you know where she is or, if she is deceased, the location of her remains? I suppose the only way to know you have the correct person is to have her DNA (or her relative's DNA)matched against the DNA of the boys. Have you contacted Brian Honeybourn? I know he would welcome any new information about this case.
I not too sure if my comments are being put on this blog or not. I have passed this cold case file on to the police...I fell that I am right, becuse Elsa meets more than half of the points needed to be a person of interest

Coldcase
What's the info/name for that group? Can't find it when I search...
the standley park skulls aka babes. This cold case was on TV two nights back..
still trying to keep the interest in the case alive...there are pictures of the family, and each generation knows their history...this family may never talk about the past.But the truth is out there. I wonder what the first Christmas for the family was like, or the thanks giving. This accident must of put the whole family through hell for years to come.
