On Saturday 17 October 1964, 13-year-old Doreen Lambert travelled by bus from her home in Margate to friend’s house in Bald Hills. Doreen left her home at 8.20am but got off the bus one stop too early at 9.45am and missed the connection with her friend. After asking directions about a bus back to Redcliffe, she was last seen walking along Gympie Road, Bald Hills at about 12.50 and then just disappeared into thin air.
Museum Curator Lisa Jones will present ‘1964 Little Girl Lost: Doreen Jean Lambert‘. Lisa will outline Doreen’s movements, the prolonged police investigation and ultimately how Doreen’s remains were found by chance in 1966 and her killer brought to justice in 1968.
The one-and-a-half hour presentation will begin at 11am on Sunday, May 29 and will provide interesting and educational content suitable for a mature audience.
The Museum opens its doors to the public on the last Sunday of each month from 10am to 3pm from February to November in addition to the standard Monday to Thursday 9am to 4pm opening hours. Monthly Sunday openings feature guest speakers from across the historical and crime-solving spectrums.
