I'm reading a true crime book about another famous Canadian family, the Massey family. It brought to mind this very sad story of the murder of Nancy Eaton, a beautiful young woman who was the great great granddaughter of Timothy Eaton owner and founder of the large department store chain which at the time of her death in 1985 was Canada's top retail company. Nancy was murdered by a close friend. I'm not sure of his reason for killing this young woman other than mental illness.
