A Little Bit About Amanda's Case: 

Amanda was last seen August 1991 (at the age of 27) at her residence on Enfield Place, Mississauga by her mother. There is speculation that she has connections to the United States. She reportedly

frequented the Bloor and Lansdowne area of #Toronto which at the time was a dangerous and high crime area.

The Missed Lives Project is trying to locate the high school she attended to track down her friends and family for more information and leads. According to current school boundaries, Rudge would have gone to TL Kennedy Secondary School, which has no record of her attending. Other options outside of that boundary (that would have been open in the 1977-1982 time frame that she attended high school) would be Woodlands Secondary School, Port Credit Secondary, and Applewood Heights.

A Young Girls' Life Cut Short - The Cold Case Of Patricia Lupton

Case: 2/1959

Name: Patricia Lupton
Alias: 'Pat' to her immediate family, 'Patsy' to her extended family
Murdered/Body Found: March 9, 1959
Location: Toronto, Ontario, Canada
Date Of Birth: July 4, 1946
Age:12

A Little Bit About Patricia's Case: 

On or about February 16, 1959, 12-year-olds Patricia Lupton, Brenda Walker and Lucy Novak and 11-year-old Maureen Monaghan, friends and neighbors in the Toronto suburb of Scarborough, saw a notice posted on the bulletin board at the A & P supermarket then located at Kennedy Park Shopping Plaza, at Kennedy Road and Eglinton Avenue East. The notice called for "applications from babysitters": the girls, having all had experience babysitting for their neighbors, put their names, addresses and phone numbers on the accompanying list. (Patricia, Brenda and Maureen were trying to save up $20 apiece to go to Camp Sherbourne, near Bolton, Ont., the following summer.) Three weeks later, on March 9th, Patricia  received a call from a man answering the ad. This man, identifying himself as "Mr. Johnson," said that he and his wife were going to visit their ailing infant son in hospital, and therefore needed a babysitter for their slightly-older son. (Brenda, at this time, was bedridden with the flu and Maureen's line was busy; Lucy was never called.) Patricia agreed to come to Kennedy Park Drugs, in the same plaza, where "Mrs. Johnson" would pick her up. With her love of small children in general, Patricia had become highly regarded both by the children she'd babysat in the past and by their parents: therefore her own parents, Albert and Bridget Lupton, felt safe letting her accept the job. Nonetheless, when she left home at 6:20 to keep the appointment, she agreed to check in with them upon reaching the address. By seven o'clock Patricia had failed to call. Four hours later, on the CBC-TV news, her anxious family learned that she had been found dead at about 7:20 in a snowbank on McCowan Road, less than two miles from her home. She had been strangled with her own scarf; though she was not sexually assaulted, the somewhat-disarrayed state of her clothing, plus bruises to both her knees, made it probable that sexual assault had been attempted.

The next day, upon learning of her friend's violent death, Maureen Monaghan gave up babysitting. Also that same day, Ontario's then-Attorney-General, Kelso Roberts, asked supermarket chains to ban babysitting ads from their bulletin boards. Patricia's death fed already-high public outrage in a city which had seen the several horrific and unsolved murder cases between 1947 and 1956.

Details of Investigation Provided by the Toronto Police Service:
On Monday, March 9, 1959, at about 7:05 p.m., police responded to an emergency call on McCowan Road south of Ellesmere Road. The victim was discovered off the roadway, suffering from medical trauma. Despite life-saving efforts by emergency personnel, the victim was pronounced dead at the scene. Investigators believe the victim was last seen alive leaving her residence en route to Kennedy Park Plaza sometime after 5:30 p.m.

The Abduction Of Jermaine Allan Mann - LOCATED!

An exciting update on the Jermaine Allan Mann case!

For Lyneth Mann-Lewis, life was never the same after June 24, 1987. A piece of her heart was just gone. Her baby - just a few months shy of his second birthday - was abducted by his father. Her former husband could not accept the fact that Lyneth had been granted sold custody of Jermaine so he stole him during a court-ordered visit. Jermaine had been told his mother had died long ago and was forced to live this fabricated life for the last 31 years. I am happy to share that Jermaine and his mother have been finally reunited.

Allan Mann Jr was arrested in Connecticut on Friday October 26, 2018.

To all of the families out there who are missing their loved ones - NEVER give up hope! 

Case: 164DMON

Name: Jermaine Allan Mann 
Missing Since: June 24, 1987

A Little Bit About Jermaine's Case:

Jermaine was abducted by his noncustodial father, Allan Mann Jr., from Toronto, Ontario on June 24, 1987. A Canadian warrant for his father's arrest was issued the same day of the abduction. In 1982,

Jamaican-born Lyneth and Ghana-born Allan were married. Three years later, on September 6, 1985, their son Jermaine Allan Mann was born. Soon after his birth their relationship began to deteriorate. Lyneth and Allan were separated in 1986. A custody battle ensued over Jermaine and Lyneth was eventually granted sole custody, with Allan being allowed weekend visitation rights. The couple divorced shortly after the custody battle began. The following year Lyneth wanted to visit family in Jamaica for a holiday and was granted permission from the courts to take Jermaine with her. This decision meant that Allan got an extra weekend visitation with Jermaine prior to Lyneth's departure. Lyneth dropped Jermaine off at a court-approved third party location where Jermaine was picked up by his father. It is thought that Allan Mann seized this opportunity to abduct Jermaine. Lyneth has never seen him or her son again. Immediately following the 1987 abduction, the Toronto Police Department began an extensive investigation. Allan had implied that he might return to Ghana but the investigation revealed that this was unlikely. Jermaine was not located and all known leads were exhausted. The trail went cold. It is thought that Allan and Jermaine are in North America, possibly in the New York area.
