The dark echoes of Adele Komorowski’s murder linger 45 years later

McMaster University, spring 1973: For women it felt like a time of limitless horizons, and that was especially true for Adele Komorowski, a bright and dynamic 26-year old who spoke four languages and was finishing her Master's degree, the future at her feet and her wedding in two months. And then, on a full moon night, all that she might have been was gone. She became the first homicide victim on McMaster's campus and it sparked a feverish investigation and a mystery with more suspects than clues. For more than four decades the unsolved case haunted detectives and Adele's family and friends.The book on the cold case appears to finally be closed. Its dark echoes still linger.
