Murder of Samuel Lottery



On Jan. 19, 1996 17-year-old Samuel Lottery was reported missing from London, Ontario, Canada. No one saw Samuel alive again. In March of 1996, a letter was found at the Pillar of Fire Church at 27 Gunn St. inside the letter was information about Samuel and a picture of himself he kept in his wallet. The letter described where the body could be found. 

In November another handwritten letter arrived at Samuel's parents' home. The letter provided more information about him and contained a number of unique images on the stationary (provided above). It again described where the body could be found.

In May of 1997, a number of bones were located along the Thames River south of Blackfriars Bridge. In Nov. of 2003, a jawbone was recovered and in April of 2008, a skull was recovered. DNA testing showed that the bones were of that of Samuel's.

It's believed that Samuel had been targeted about one or more people who knew him. There may be multiple people who know what had happened to Samuel.
