Here is a long article about Susan Cadieux. There is even a composite sketch and certainly more details than I ever knew before.

Susan Cadieux

Birth: Dec. 21, 1950
Death: Jan. 7, 1956
At about eight o'clock on the evening of Friday, January sixth, 1956, Walter and Gabrielle Cadieux's three children -- 10-year-old Michael, nine-year-old Patrick and five-year-old Susan -- left their home at 665 York Street in London, Ont. to play in the yard of St. Mary's Catholic Church, directly across the street. (The boys attended the church's adjacent elementary school, where Susan was to enter kindergarten the following fall.) With them was their 12-year-old upstairs neighbor Virginia Gereluk. After a short time at play, the children were approached by a tall, thin, unshaven man between 35 and 40 years old, wearing a Russian-style fur or wool hat, a light tan or brown overcoat, and galoshes with heavy buckles. Focusing on Susan, a bright, cheerful, friendly child -- who knew all of the priests at St. Mary's, and called out a greeting whenever she saw one of them -- he told them that he had an appointment to see the church's pastor, Father Wilfrid O'Rourke, in the rectory at nine o'clock. (Father O'Rourke had in fact had no such appointment: he later theorized that the man might have been one of the numerous street people who came to the church for money, and were especially numerous at that time of year.) Virginia fell on the ice a few feet away from the Cadieux children, and Michael and Patrick moved to help her up. A moment later, the three older children saw Susan leaving the grounds with the man. "This man is going to give me something," she called to them as she left: these were her last known words. After calling after Susan for a while, Michael, Patrick and Virginia went home; police were then called. Father O'Rourke broadcast over local radio an appeal to the abductor to "please call me and tell me where Susan can be found." CFPL radio stayed on the air overnight, issuing appeals for volunteers to aid in the search for Susan: hundreds of citizens responded, including police, armed forces personnel, Boy Scouts, Frontiersmen, civil defense workers, private detective agencies, social workers, railway workers, people from all walks of life -- and even a number of other children, many too young to understand what was happening. At about 10:10 the next morning, Susan was found dead in the warehouse yard of the Ray James construction and farm supply company on William Street, two blocks west and seven and a half blocks north of where she had vanished. Tears were frozen to her face; her underclothing had been torn; and a pair of blue jeans she had worn under her snowsuit was missing. She had been sexually assaulted, and had died from shock and exposure less than three hours before she was found; it was believed that her abductor, after the assault, had abandoned her in the yard. Over the previous year, 10 other young girls in the city had been victims of sex attacks: Susan's death, the first fatality in such an attack, only served to heighten the attendant public outrage. According to Catholic teaching, Susan, because she had died under the age of reason, was incapable of sin and therefore was automatically admitted to heaven. Therefore, on Monday, January ninth, Susan was buried following a Mass of the Angels at St. Mary's Church, with Father O'Rourke as celebrant. During his oration, the priest said: "Degenerates, like mad dogs, are allowed to roam our streets at will. When are these people going to be given the treatment they need and placed where they can do no harm?" He also denounced contemporary books, magazines, stage plays, movies and TV programs which, in his view, encouraged licentiousness. Susan's abductor was never found.
