“It was truly an eerie moment when the face of Lilias suddenly appeared,” Dr. Rynn recalled, “Here was the face of a woman you could have a chat with, though knowing her story, it was a wee bit difficult to look her in the eye.”
Councillor Kate Stewart has been another instrumental force in the search for Lilias’ remains. She even coordinated a memorial in 2019 to honor her and every other woman who had been subjected to such failed attempts at justice.
“There is no recognition that these people were killed for nothing. When you dig down, it was a horrible, horrible time for ordinary folk– particularly women,” Kate said.
“The suffering was horrendous, and we should recognize that wrong was done and remember them in a respectful way.”
