The Case
On September 8, 1983 Mary Emma Bisenthal Hammond left her home on Elgin St., Brantford, Ontario, Canada around 3:30 am. That morning, she worked the early morning shift at Buns Master Bakery. She had been employed there for about one year.
Mary walked “north on Park Road North (now Wayne Gretzky Parkway) she passed the Massey-Ferguson factory and cut across the field towards the rear of the bakery.” She never arrived.
Authorities followed Mary’s footprints to the property line at the rear of the bakery and the point where Mary would cut across the field. And then she was gone. Most likely, Mary got into a car. However, she was very close to work so why bother?
There is the possibility that she was hit by a car. She may have been lifted into that car to be taken to a hospital but I assume that all medical facilities in the area were checked.
Another possibility is that Mary died while enroute to a medical facility and was taken to be buried somewhere. Kidnapping remains another option. However, nobody ever sought contact with the family.
