On Nov 16, 1979, the body of 31-year old Irene Pearson was found in a vacant home in Winnipeg, Manitoba. She had been hit multiple times in the head with a blunt object and had been repeatedly stabbed as well. It is believed that because Irene was a real estate agent, she had been showing the home to a potential client when she was murdered.
A witness described a man seen with Irene before her body was discovered as being between 22-30 years of age, with brown hair and possibly a mustache. An inexpensive silver cross was found near Irene's body which may have belonged to the killer. One last clue is that one of the last people seen at the home drove a red or blue newer-model Plymouth Volare or Dodge Aspen.
Based on investigating agencies, it is advised to contact either the WPS Historical Homicide Unit at 204-986-3819 or CrimeStoppers at 204-786-TIPS (8477).

Thoughts? If the man last seen with Irene was her killer, then he would be between 59-69 years of age by now. That means there's a good chance that he's still alive. Whether he lives in Winnipeg still or has since moved to a different part of Canada is another question. Hopefully advances in DNA technology and/or a tip from the public can finally bring him to trial for Irene's murder.
