The Hour Delia Adriano Vanished: A Cold Case in Oakville

September 26, 1982. Oakville, Ontario.

Delia Adriano was twenty-five, engaged to be married, and just days from her birthday. Dropped off by her fiancé at 9:30 PM, she took the few steps toward her family's door.

She never made it inside.

What happened in the crucial missing hour that followed?

Around 10:30 PM, witnesses report a frantic scene less than a kilometer away: a petite woman matching Delia's description was being forced into a dark, sub-compact car. An intense argument was heard inside the vehicle before it sped away, headlights off, leaving Delia's purse behind in the dark.

Six weeks later, a gruesome discovery: Delia’s body, naked and abandoned in a Milton woodland known as a “Lover's Lane.”

For over forty years, the police have had no answers. They cleared her fiancé, but a detective and Delia's own sister share a chilling conviction: Delia knew her killer.

Was it a stalker, a spurned co-worker, or an obsessive ex-partner, comfortable enough to approach her during that critical hour?

Or did Delia fall victim to a much darker force? 

The killer is still out there. The case is still open.

Do you have information about Delia Adriano's murder? Contact police, Crime Stoppers, or Nicoll Investigations.

Because every case deserves answers—and every victim deserves justice.
