A new investigative avenue in a six-decade cold case suggests a 13-year-old girl from Bowmanville intentionally left home while pregnant and travelled south of the border.
“We understand if this information proves to be true, Noreen Greenley may have left her home 60 years ago, with no intention of returning,” Det. Sgt. Brad Corner, of Durham Regional Police, told reporters during a Sept. 14 news conference.
This information has never been released to the public, but it has been in the hands of police since 1968 when Greenley’s father came forward with the details.
Police released the information on Thursday – marking exactly 60 years since Greenley disappeared.
The 13-year-old went missing after a night of bowling with friends in Bowmanville on Sept. 14, 1963.
Noreen was supposed to get on a bus home that night, but never did.
Police previously investigated the possibility that she was abducted and buried in the trunk of a car, however an extensive excavation of an area off Highway 57 in 2018 found no evidence to support that theory.
