Additional Information was mentioned by Sgt Paul Gosling in this podcast episode about Dana Bradley who was tragically murdered. The killer has not been caught.
~Dana Bradley disappeared on the evening of 14 December 1981, while hitchhiking on Topsail Road in St. John’s. She had been at a friend’s home after school and was on her way home to a family birthday party. When she did not arrive, the family reported her missing to the Royal Newfoundland Constabulary.[1] An eyewitness reported seeing Bradley getting into a car with a male driver.[2]
Bradley’s body was found in a wooded area on the Maddox Cove Road south of St. John’s four days after she disappeared. Her skull had been fractured by a blunt object and she had been sexually assaulted.[3] The body was laid out in “burial fashion” with her schoolbooks tucked under her arm.[1]
The subsequent investigation has been described as (then) “the most expensive and exhaustive murder investigation in Canadian history”. Hundreds of people were interviewed; thousands of tips were received and investigated. More than 800 cars were examined in the weeks following Bradley’s disappearance. The initial task force was composed of 35 full-time investigators from the RCMP and the Royal Newfoundland Constabulary.[4]
Dana was a personal friend of mine (Paul Gosling) as we grew up as neighbours, selling lemonade, riding bikes, going to the traveling fair. We were quite close, until she moved to another neighbourhood when she was around 13 years old.
