It's been 85 years since the tragic death of young Vera Page. She was ten years old when she was raped and strangled. Her case is still unsolved.

So very sad that these awful things happen to any child. They should all be remembered no matter how many years have gone by. May Vera Page rest in peace. :(

Yet another senseless and tragic murder of an innocent child. I sometimes wonder how the people who commit these crimes can live with themselves and I hate to think of the pain and sadness Vera's friends and family had to experience.

What a horrible waste of life.

Quote from the find-a-grave site:
"Despite incriminating evidence, the chief suspect at the inquest was never charged with her murder."
Wonder why not?

Lesley: I found this as sort of an explanation to your question:

"Rush was never officially charged with the murder of Vera Page. No eyewitness accounts could place him with Vera on the day of her death, and no chemist could recall having sold bandages to Rush. Though his movements were never verified, Rush claimed that on 14 December, he had finished work and immediately travelled to Kensington. He died in 1961."

Here is where I found this:
