Phyllis Stroud hod been excused from work because the war had ended. She started home, but .
Phyllis Stroud, 18, disappeared on V-J
Day, Aug. 15, 1945. She had left her
home as usual that morning to go to work
in an office in downtown Victoria, British
Columbia. At noon, she had lunched with
her sister Doris. Later in the afternoon,
when news of the end of World War II be
came official, she and her fel)ow employees
were excused for the day.
There was a spontaneous, hilarious cele
bration in Victoria that went on until late
in the evening. The city's younger people
engaged in noisy parades and snake dances
in the streets. Phyllis Stroud and several
girl friends remained downtown until after
11 o'clock. All reached their homes safely
except Phyllis.
After a widespread search of the city
failed to yield a trace of the girl. Chief
Police Inspector J. H. Rogers checked her
movements. She had boarded a bus and left
it before midnight at the stop nearest her
home, a block and a half away. In that short
stretch, she had vanished. Police questioned
neighbors without uncovering a clue.
Her body finally was found in the base
ment of her own home. It was in a big
insulated bin used to store ice. Phyllis had
been buried beneath sawdust used to cover
the ice and keep it from melting. There
were no marks of violence, and the coroner
said she had smothered. The only possible
clue was a smear of lipstick on her cheek.
There had been only four people in the
two-story frame house occupied by two
families. Phyllis' mother was dead, but her
father, her sister Doris, 24, and her brother
Donald, 20, lived there. Charles Kinney, 19,
lived in the first-floor apartment; his
parents were away.
Donald Stroud said he had gone down-
town with some friends to take part in the
victory celebration and hadn't returned
until the early hours. The detectives easily
substantiated this.
Charles Kinney, a serious youth who
planned to study for the ministry, said
he had gone downtown to watch the cele
bration. He had walked back home after
11, stopping on the way to browse in a
bookshop and to have a soda in a candy
store. But he had seen no one he knew.
The elder Stroud and Doris had been at
home entertaining friends, who left after
11:30. The Strouds had walked to the street
car line with them. Their account was
quickly verified.
The entire group was grief-stricken. Don
ald and his father were haggard and pale;
tears coursed down the cheeks of Charles
Kinney, and Doris wept softly. Chief
Rogers left them with their sorrow,
He turned to the slain girl's friends. Only
one, a blonde teen-ager, could furnish a
clue. She said Phyllis had told her about a
fellow named Roscoe, who worked at a war
plant. "I don't know his last name or any
thing about him except he asked her for
a date. She said he was tall and handsome,
but she hadn't decided whether to go out
with him."
The girl's family had never heard of
Roscoe, but young Kinney had. He said
Phyllis had confided she was interested in
him but he was a lot older, and she was
afraid her family would object "She asked
me not to mention it," Kinney added.
Canvassing factories, police finally found
a record of a Roscoe Engle, 30, who was tall
and had dark hair and handsome features.
He had been discharged for absenteeism.
