Four Blocks from Home: The Abduction of Christine Prince

Four Blocks from Home: The Abduction of Christine Prince A rainy night, a dropped umbrella, and a killer who knew the road. DNA waits for a name.

This episode dives into the heartbreaking and mysterious case of Christine Prince, a Welsh nanny who came to Toronto in 1981, hoping to build a career caring for children. Christine found work with the Kruzick family, caring for their young daughter and quickly becoming part of their family. She loved her new life in Toronto and was even engaged to a chef named David Curtis-Smith.

But on June 20, 1982, her life took a tragic turn. After an evening out, Christine was last seen by her friend Gloria Betts on a streetcar. Just four blocks from her home, she was likely abducted, taken over 40 km away, assaulted, and murdered. Her body was found in the Rouge River, and the case remains unsolved over 40 years later.

Police believe Christine's killers may have been two men, and over the years, they’ve considered several suspects, including notorious serial killers Paul Bernardo and Danny Wood. Yet no one has been definitively connected to her murder. DNA evidence exists, and advancements in forensic science hold the hope that someday it may yield answers.

If you remember anything about Christine or received unusual gifts around that time – a distinctive gold ring, a gold watch, or a Kodak Instamatic camera – please reach out. Every clue matters in helping her family find justice.
