Anyone here who lived on Wayburn between Morang and Moross, preferably in the 50's? I am looking for info on a murder that happened a couple houses down from where I lived as a child. A woman walking from the bus stop was murdered and robbed. That's all I remember but I'd be interested in more details if anyone has any.

I do remember something about a murder on the eastside in the fifties. Don't know any of the particulars. The name Joanne Gillespie comes to mind.

I was too young to have paid much attention at the time to the discussions my folks had about it. Somehow that name seems a tiny bit familiar. I know the morning after, one of her shoes was laying on the lawn of a house in our block. I wish I knew more about crime in that area in the 50's...just out of curiosity. Thanks for the name.
