The identity of a mystery woman in Toronto continues to baffle police, but a single recollection about a Halifax intersection may provide a clue about the woman with amnesia.
This middle-aged woman, known as 'Linda', surfaced at a Toronto homeless shelter five weeks ago.
Police said she was well dressed and well manicured, and can't remember anything about her past.
But in recent interviews, she mentioned Halifax, specifically the intersection of Barrington Street and Spring Garden Road.
The CBC's Jack Julian headed downtown to investigate the mystery.
