''The last thing either of them wants is for any family members to be misled; however, what they have managed to uncover is telling. Following leads, conducting interviews, surveying geography, reading old police files and speaking with relatives has proved fruitful.
They’ve narrowed the search for Marianne to an area outside Burlington they have visited with certified canine handlers, close to where one of her blue shoes was found.''
“Killers are notoriously lazy,” Davidson explained. They have a hunch Marianne was dumped, not buried, leaving potential for evidence even 50 years on.
With advances in genetic genealogy and forensics, they are considering DNA could be in the ground, in soil. If Marianne is out there, there could be more than one way to find her.''
''Marianne’s case is long rumoured to be connected to other missing children, including four-year-old Cameron March, last seen in his Burlington yard May 7, 1975; 13-year-old Noreen Greenley, last seen in Bowmanville Sept. 14, 1963; and even possibly 12-year-old Lynne Harper, of Clinton, whose 1959 murder sent wrongfully convicted Steven Truscott to prison.
“Every killer like that is going to have a hunting ground,” said Davidson.''
The people running the dig are now saying their dig site, which made two separate cadaver dogs alert, was partly based on information from a prison informant. I’m guessing it was the same one. That’s a very interesting development if true.If he broke down off 17 Side Road, or got stuck, and had to be towed out, I don't think he'd leave the body in that area. He could have gone back to retrieve it and then found a new spot the next day off of 3rd Line where someone in a station wagon was seen.
I looked up the inmate who said an associate showed him a body on the Bruce Trail where 3rd Line ends. He was named as Robert Turner 40 in 1969, and there was a Robert Turner born in Hamilton in 1929. If that's the same person, it's possible he knew the suspect who was living in Dundas in Hamilton.
Excellent find! Excellent news!sorry if this is a paywall
What happened to Marianne Schuett?
Looks like they will do a ground search in September in the area of Hwy 25 and sideroad 22, Acton. (above Speyside where the shoe was found)
They have a thought that they may have found 2 burial sites, 1 for Marianne and 1 for Cameron March.
They know the suspect that committed suicide was within 3km of this area and had multiple cadaver dog hits in these 2 locations.
It truly looks like all LE are in agreement this perp they had is the murderer and they are looking for the proof to actually release his name and close the case. Similar to Christine Jessop when they had DNA proof to release her predator.
Let's hope this will be a healing find for more than one family wanting answers.
It also may depend on the year he was shown the body.The team is lending credence to the tip from inmate RT who said an "acquaintance" led him to the spot and he saw the body. If the acquaintance was the suspect, and there are two sites alerted on, it might make sense that the body was moved after RT was arrested.

The suspect/perp in this case was a "steel worker". And I'm pretty sure he lived on Bennet Rd. around that time, a couple of streets up from your suspect on New. I remember seeing the address on Vernon's Directory.
Your suspect might fit better for a cold case, IMO. But in this case, there was no turning a blind eye for a high class criminal. There was just no follow-up on the main eye-witness until 1990.
