Episode 230:\xa0Over a period of 22 months, between January 1969 and January 1971, 3 women in Southwestern Ontario were brutally murdered in 3 different towns. These women\u2019s names were\xa0Isobella \u201cBelva\u201d Russell, Edith Authier, and Jane Wooley.\n\nPolice solved the case of the third victim, Belva Russell, a matter of weeks after the crime. The perpetrator,\xa0Gerald Thomas Archer\xa0was convicted and imprisoned. There were obvious similarities between all three crimes. For several reasons the initial investigators on the cases missed them. Gerald Thomas Archer got his freedom in 1985, when he was 65. He was a drifter and passed away in 1995. Five years after Archer\u2019s death, his family made police aware of new information. Through DNA, were police able to connect him to the murders of\xa0Edith Authier, and Jane Wooley.\xa0\nGerald Thomas Archer, had been a\xa0serial killer\xa0and had walked free for the last ten years of his life.\nPromo:\xa0\nEvidence Locker Podcast\nSources:\nhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gerald_Thomas_Archer\nhttps://www.facebook.com/vintagelondon/photos/a.449810945145208/1187331708059791/\nhttps://www.facebook.com/vintagelondon/photos/a.449810945145208/822774754515490/\nhttps://www.facebook.com/vintagelondon/photos/a.661428090650158/668089943317306/\nhttps://www.newspapers.com/clip/48417869/the-windsor-star/\nhttps://news.google.com/newspapers?id=kTM_AAAAIBAJ&pg=5456%2C768541\nhttps://www.retrosuites.com/\nhttps://www.history.com/topics/1960s/1967-detroit-riots\nThe home of Hugh Smith in 1971. 53 Wellington Street, Chatham.\nThe downtown Chatham Hotel in 1935.
