In 1958, Evelyn Roche was murdered on the way home from the bus just two blocks from her Vancouver home. It’s a case that really haunted me when I first read about it. The newspaper stories just said was that she was a 39-year-old widow who had recently remarried and had a boy and a girl. I wanted to know what happened to her children, how their lives had turned out.
