A Canadian man who died in 2019 has been identified as the perpetrator of three cold case homicides in Toronto, and investigators believe there could be more victims.
Toronto police said Thursday recent forensic testing and genetic genealogy has conclusively identified Kenneth Smith, 72, of Windsor, Ontario, as the person who killed two women in the 1980s and a third woman in the 1990s.
They say the first woman, Christine Prince, 25, was found dead on June 22, 1982, in the Rouge River in Toronto after she was sexually assaulted and struck on the head.
Police say Claire Samson, 23, was found dead with gunshot wounds in Oro-Medonte Township on Sept. 1, 1983.
They say the third victim, 41-year-old Gracelyn Greenidge, died of blunt force trauma in her Toronto apartment on July 29, 1997.
