Around 7:45 p.m. a man approached the kids and focused on Susan. He spoke with her and in return, she told the other children that the man was going to give her something. He told them that he was supposed to meet with the St. Mary's church priest at 9 and stated he lived on York St. while pointing towards King St. The other kids got distracted by a nearby fall on the ice and this was when Susan walked away with the man.
By 8 p.m. her brothers panicked when they saw Susan gone. They rushed home to tell their parents about the man and she was gone. The search began. By 9:30 the London Police were involved and by 1:30 a.m. 300 people were searching for the girl.
At 10:08 a.m. Susan's body was found at the rear of Roy James Construction located at 609 William St. alongside the CPR spur line. This was around 6 miles north of where she was last seen. She had been sexually assaulted and died from exposure less than 3 hours before she was found. It was so cold out her tears were frozen to her face. It's believed the man assaulted her and left her in the yard.
