Thanks to one of my readers we get this update in the case of Mary Emma Bisenthal Hammond. Brantford Police is asking for your help. Can you identify and/or locate any of the four unknown persons in the pictures below?

These are previously unreleased photographs. 

Investigators would like to speak with the unidentified persons regarding any information they may be able to provide related to the disappearance of Mary Emma Bisenthal Hammond.

The unidentified persons are believed to have ties to the Hungarian/Ukrainian/Bosnian/Polish community in and around the time of Hammond’s disappearance.

Her whereabouts are still unknown.

These are the pictures from the Brantford Police website. Please watch examine them there if these here are too small.

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.

Author Notes

On my website, I write about old, unsolved cases. Most are from the pre-DNA era and need renewed media attention. I only do research and leave active investigation of these cases to the professionals.

My posts are about homicides, missing and unidentified people, wrongful convictions, and forensics as related to these cases.

On book reviews: I only review select works of true crime, crime fiction, and historical fiction/mysteries. The stories have to fit my website's theme and research. It remains my prerogative to not review a book. Please check the FAQ page for more!

My database has hundreds of cases listed by the victim’s last name. You will find a brief description there as well. The database is free to the public.

All writing suggestions for cases that come in by email are added to my to-do list in the order in which they were received. Please be patient. My to-do list is very long but no case gets dropped and I will get back in touch.

If you have any questions about my website please check the Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) page, the about page, and the tabs in both menu bars. If you still cannot find the answer there, please contact me.

Thank you,

Alice de Sturler

In March 2015, the Connecticut State Supreme Court ordered a new trial for Richard lapointe. On Oct 2, 2015, International Wrongful Conviction Day, Richard was set free. The judge ruled that he cannot be retried for the 1987 rape-murder of Mrs. Bernice Martin. Richard Lapointe died on Aug 4, 2020 of Covid19 complications.

In 1987, someone killed Bernice Martin. I hope that she will not become a forgotten file.
