Don't Wind
Up in the
Drink
Going for a swim when your
head's already swimming is
an open invitation to trouble.
Water sports and alcohol just
don't mix. So before you dive
in, be sure you haven't been
in the drink. The message is
quite simple — leave the
alcohol behind,

The search for
Lynne Harper
CONTINUED FROM > PAGE 2
him. Steven later claimed
that she was more chatty
than usual and asked him to
give her a 'lift' to Highway 8.
In the most fateful bike
ride in history, Truscott
dropped Harper off at High-
way 8 and after looking over
his shoulder saw Lynne get
into a car. It was the last time
anyone would claim to have
seen Lynne Harper alive.
In Bill Trent's book Who
Killed Lynne Harper?
(1979). He repeats the ridic-
ulous rumour that Lynne, at
age 12, was dating some of
the airmen, as if, somehow,
she can be blamed for what
happened to her.
It was an independent
spirit combined with the
trusting innocence of a
twelve -year-old girl that
impelled Lynne Harper to
accept a ride in a stranger's
car. It was a car ride that
would end in unimaginable
horror.
Her concerned father
reported her disappearance
to the base Guardhouse
about 10:30 that even-
ing. Shirley and Leslie
Harper asked friends and
neighbours about the where-
abouts of their daughter. The
next day, June 10th, a few
officers assembled and
made a casual search of the
area. They passed within
yards of Lynne's body.
On June 11, the O.P.P and
military launched a massive
search involving 250 police,
airmen and local civilian vol-
unteers. Maitland Edgar
recalls his class, Truscott
amongst them, watching the
search parties comb the area
from their classroom win-
dow. Within a short time,
Edgar stated, they heard the
sirens and knew a body had
been found.
Edgar still remembers with
emotion attending Lynne's
funeral service with her class
at the base chapel. Girl Guides
provided an honour guard for
the casket. Another Girl
Guide honour guard stood to
attention outside Trivitt
Church in Exeter, as the
funeral procession took Lynne
to her final resting place in the
Unionville Cemetery.
The most enduring trag-
edy of the Harper-Truscott
case is that there will be no
closure for the Harper fam-
ily. There are no websites or
organizations demanding
justice for Lynne
Harper. There is no mone-
tary settlement for the
Harper family to compen-
sate for their half century of
suffering. That, in the end, is
the ultimate tragedy.
