Canadian police have identified a woman known as the “Nation River Lady,” nearly five decades after she went missing and was found dead floating in a river in Ontario, police said.
Jewell “Lalla” Langford, whose maiden name was Parchman, had traveled to Montréal in April 1975, but never returned home and her family reported her missing, Ontario Provincial Police said Wednesday in a news release. Police say Langford, 48, became known as the “Nation River Lady,” after the Nation River in eastern Ontario where her remains were found on May 3, 1975. In March 2022, her remains were repatriated to the US followed by a memorial service and burial, the release says.
“Thanks to advances in genetic genealogy science and the collective commitment of all of the investigators involved, we have brought resolution to the families and friends of this missing person who met with foul play,” Detective Inspector Daniel Nadeau at OPP’s Criminal Investigation Branch said in a statement. “We can be satisfied with the results of this investigation and that we were able to return Jewell Langford’s remains to her loved ones.
