Ontario Provincial Police are offering a substantial reward in an effort to solve the murder of a Manitouwadge girl three decades ago.
The OPP's Criminal Investigation Branch says it wants to provide the family of Catherine Elizabeth Gowan - and the community - with resolution, after the 15-year-old was found dead in her Manitouwadge residence on July 8th, 1990 - foul play was not initially suspected, but a homicide investigation was launched based on "further information received by police at various times during the intervening years".
A $50,000 reward's being offered for information leading to the arrest and conviction of her murderer or murderers - anyone with information is urged to call the OPP or Crime Stoppers.
