The Babes in the Woods case has something of a Hansel and Gretel mythology around it. Warning: This story contains details that may be distressing to some readers.
The mystery of two children found brutally murdered in Vancouver's Stanley Park nearly a century ago is one of the city's oldest unsolved crimes.And what makes the case more compelling is the fact that British Columbia serial killer Clifford Robert Olson's mother was a tipster to the police in the case.
Lots of theories, few clues In the decades that followed the grisly discovery, many theories about who the children were — and who may have murdered them — fascinated locals and stumped investigators. Despite this, questions arising from the discovery were further stymied by the fact that a medical examiner had decided one child was male, the other female.
The company identified the maternal grandparents of one of the boys and built out a family tree using DNA submitted to private companies for genetic testing.
