MMM Case #7 - MYSTERIOUS - Patricia Carpenter

Patricia “Trish” Carpenter was beautiful, happy, sweet, and funny. She was a promising 14-year-old with a loving family and a beautiful baby boy named Dakota. She had a great life ahead of her that was tragically taken. On the morning of September 25, 1992, construction workers arriving for their shift discovered Trish's lifeless body “wedged very tightly, head-first, into a pit" on the Toronto construction site.

It seems everyone except for law enforcement thought her death was suspicious. In a pattern we've seen too many times with indigenous women and girls, Trish's death was chalked up as accidental and ultimately ruled "undetermined". The construction site where her body was discovered is a busy area; how is it possible that nobody heard or saw anything suspicious that night? Why weren't the "friends" she was with that night questioned further by police? Trish's death leaves everyone, especially her family, with more questions than answers.

If you have any information about the death of Patricia "Trish" Carpenter, who was found dead at a construction site at 205 Yonge Street, Downtown Toronto on the morning of September 25, 1992, please call the Toronto Police at 416-808-2222, Crime Stoppers at 416-222-TIPS (8477), or file a report online.
