rbbm.Homicide Detective Sergeant Stacy Gallant is appealing to the public to help find who murdered Graham Hugh Pearce, 36, on Sunday, March 20, 1983.
At around 12.40 p.m., on Sunday, March 20, 1983, 11 Division officers responded to a call for a sudden death in an apartment at 35 High Park Avenue.
The body of Graham Hugh Pearce was found on his bathroom floor, with a stab wound. He was a single, gay man, living with a roommate who called police after arriving home and discovering the body.
Detective Sergeant Gallant said the investigation revealed Pearce was bar-hopping on March 19. “That night, he visited Boots Bar on Sherbourne St. and Stages Bar at Yonge St,” said Gallant.
During the ongoing investigation, throughout the years, a Person of Interest, Ronald Thomas Gale, then 22, was identified through evidence. The identification however, was made after he had died.
Investigators are appealing to anyone who knew Ronald Gale, or who his friends and associates were, in 1983.
Investigators are also appealing to people in their 50s and 60s in the gay community who may have information.
