Twenty-five-year-old Delia Adriano had spent Sunday, September 26th, 1982 with her fiancé Danny Dutra, going to a barbecue and attending a soccer game. At about nine-thirty p.m., Danny dropped Delia off in front of her parents’ home in Oakville, Ontario, Canada. She started walking toward the side entrance of the house, but she never made it there.
Witnesses would later report hearing a woman’s scream at around ten-thirty p.m. and also stated that they saw a woman matching Delia’s description being forced into a car, which then drove away with its headlights off.
The vehicle was described as a dark-colored, two-door Chevy Chevette or similar subcompact, with three stripes down the side and bearing Ontario plates. The same car was reportedly seen parked in the driveway of a model home sales office near the scene of the abduction.
The driver of the car was described as a white male of medium build, standing about five-foot-eight, with feathered brown hair. Witnesses also claimed that they could see the man struggling with Delia inside the vehicle.
On September 27th, Delia’s purse was discovered on the sidewalk near her parents’ house.
On November 6th, a woodcutter by the name of Del Parcham found Delia’s nude body in a wooded lover’s lane area near Milton/Campbelleville. The site where she was found lay almost twenty miles away from where she was last seen alive. Her cause of death could not be determined.
Delia’s fiancé was quickly eliminated as a suspect, but the victim’s family was convinced that Delia knew the man who killed her. The case remains open and unsolved.
