Serial Killer Linked to 3 Women's Cold Case Murders in Toronto

Serial Killer Linked to 3 Women's Cold Case Murders in Toronto

In late 2025, investigators used advanced genetic genealogy to identify the late Kenneth Smith as the serial killer responsible for three cold case murders in Toronto. The victims, Christine Prince, Claire Samson, and Gracelyn Greenidge, were killed in separate opportunistic attacks between 1982 and 1997. Although Smith had a criminal history of sexual assault, he was not linked to these specific homicides until forensic sequencing connected his DNA to the decades-old crime scenes. Police describe Smith’s methods as varied and violent, and they are currently searching for additional victims he may have targeted before his death in 2019. This breakthrough provides a sense of closure for the families after more than forty years of uncertainty. The case highlights the critical role of modern DNA technology in solving long-dormant crimes and delivering answers when traditional methods fail.
