Chu "Joe" Wong Kung

On September 26, 1946, 50-year-old Chu "Joe"  Kung was visiting Calgary, Alberta, Canada. He was at the time staying at the Alexandra Hotel.  Joe had lived in Calgary for several years but moved Peace River Country. This was the first holiday in town he had in a few years. 

On the night of September 29th, he had changed $100 and donated $50 to the Chinese National Fund. He was last seen going to the Chinese Laundry at 306 9th Avenue E around 11:15. Afterwards he would head back to his hotel. When he got near the intersection of 3rd Street and 2 Avenue SE he would be attacked. 

It's believed his killer was trying to rob him. For some reason, the robbery went wrong. During it, he would hit Joe around 9 times on his head, likely with an iron pole. A witness would state that when they heard groans they saw a young man throw something in the river. 

When Joe was found he was lying face down in his own blood. He was transported to the hospital where he died 44 hours later. His hat was found some distance north and his watch was about 15 feet northwest from him. 

Even though $19.63 was found on him it is believed that his wallet which had more money in it had been stolen. Someone may have witnessed handling a large amount of money and decided to rob him. 

The area where the man threw something in the water revealed several iron poles. One of these were likely the murder weapon.

Murder of Billy Stone

 

On December 11, 1914, 21-year-old Billy Stone was working at Whitby Junction in Whitby, Ontario, Canada. He was working as a telegraph operator. At 12:05 an accountant for the local asylum walking by. Billy had turned off the lights and the only one on was the one on his desk.

At 12:37 someone would enter Whitby Junction and shoot Billy in the chest. In his last moments, he would go to his desk and call the Bell Telephone Switchboard. Billy would tell them "I'm shot, I'm all done in". 

When law enforcement arrived Billy was dead. He had fallen backward onto the floor and the phone hung over the side. He had fallen from where he was standing and died. There was no gunshot powder on Billy's clothes meaning that he was shot from a distance. 

The scene was not displaced or anything. The killer did not seem to have stolen any money or objects from the station. There were no broken windows the only thing that was out of place was that the ticket window was closed and unlocked. It's believed that this was done after or during Billy's murder. It was also possible that since there was no struggle Billy was shot through the ticket window when it was open.

However, there was evidence that they had searched Billy's body as a bloody handprint was found on the side of a cabinet near the desk. The killer had used it to help stand up after getting Billy's blood on his hands. There was no way Billy made this print as there was almost no blood on his hands.  There was nothing in Billy's pockets and even his watch was missing. Strangely, Billy was robbed, but the station wasn't.

It's unknown who killed Billy, but there are a few motives. One was that Billy's father had killed him for money. His father was examined as a suspect. Feeling like he had become the main suspect in his son's murder he would end his life. He would lie on the tracks and be hit by a train.

A friend of  Billy's claimed that he thought that Italians had something to do with the murder. Another friend stated that he was not planning to marry and was talking to a woman at the time. It could be possible that it was because of a jealous lover.  It was also possible he was killed over a potential gambling debt.

The girls all put their names, addresses, and phone numbers for the ad, as they all had a history of babysitting. On March 9th Patricia would receive a call from the man answering the ad. Patricia was not the only one who received a call as two of the other friends were. One missed the call as the line was busy and the other was sick.

He called himself Mr. Johnson and told her that he and his wife were visiting their infant son in the hospital and needed a babysitter for their slightly older son.  Patricia agreed and was excited as she liked taking care of younger children. She was supposed to get picked up by Mrs. Johnson at the Kennedy Park Drugs in the same Plaza where she saw the bulletin. 

Her parents felt safe with her accepting the job as she was highly regarded by the people she previously babysat for. She told her parents she was going to check in with them when she got home. At 5:30 pm she left her home to the Plaza.  

A call that was supposed to happen never came and this worried her family. Unknown to them her body was found at 7:20 in a snowbank on McCowan Rd, less than two miles from her home. She had been strangled to death with her own scarf, her knees were bruised, and her clothing was in disarray, she was not sexually assaulted, but it can be assumed that that was the motive.

Four hours later her family learned of what had happened to her from the news.
