The Unsolved Murders of Jane Bernard & Doreen Hardy

Jane Bernard, 43 years old

During the early morning hours of August 27, 1966, Doreen Hardy and Jane Bernard were last seen getting into a 1959 to 1963 dark colored vehicle, possibly a Pontiac, on Cumberland Street near the New Main Café in the City of Port Arthur (now known as the City of Thunder Bay).

This vehicle may have been operated by a 20-24 year old white male described as approximately 5’ 8”, stocky build, light brown hair and wearing glasses.

Doreen Hardy, 18 years old

Doreen’s body was located on August 28, 1966, in McGregor Township near Sandy Beach. (This is now the Municipality of Shuniah.)

Jane’s remains were located several days later less than 1km from where Doreen’s body had been found. Both of these women were strangled to death.

The OPP is offering a $50,000 reward for information related to both deaths.
