OPP say tips continue to come in for their investigation into the death of a 14-year-old girl from Sarnia, Ont., that has been ongoing for 50 years.
Police say Saturday marks 50th anniversary of the death of Karen Caughlin, who was last seen in the early hours of Saturday, March 16, 1974. Her body was discovered the following morning on Plowing Match Road, between Churchill Line and Lasalle Line in Lambton County.
Police initially thought her cause of death was a homicide, but in 2017, new information revealed that Caughlin’s injuries were consistent with being struck by a vehicle.
Police now believe her body may have been moved from the location where she was hit to where her body was discovered.
