Specifically, she was located near the west bank of the Niagara River, approximately 3.2 kms (2 miles) from Lake Ontario. It is possible that the found remains belong to a woman who jumped into the Horseshoe Falls on February 17, 1975. Witnesses say that the woman who jumped into the Falls was wearing a long overcoat (possibly grey) and carrying a green umbrella. There has been no scientific proof to establish that the woman observed jumping into the Horseshoe Falls and the deceased person are the same individual. However, the general descriptions are in agreement. |
