The Janet Smith case concerns the murder of 22-year-old nursemaid Janet Kennedy Smith in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada on 26 July 1924, and the ensuing suspicions of a coverup. ==Background== Janet Smith was born in Perth, Scotland on 25 June 1902 to railway fireman Arthur Mitchell Tooner Smith and Joanna Benzies.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Smith, Janet Kennedy )〕 The family moved to London when she was eleven. In January 1923, she obtained a position taking care of the newborn daughter of Frederick and Doreen Baker.〔 Frederick Baker ran an import-export business. When the family moved, first to Paris in April, then in October back to Vancouver, she accompanied them. The Bakers were among the social elite of the city.〔 They lived on the fashionable West Side, then moved in May 1924 into the house of Frederick Baker's brother, Richard Plunkett Baker, at 3851 Osler〔 in the exclusive Shaughnessy Heights neighborhood.〔 The Chinese houseboy, married 25-〔 or 27-year-old〔 Wong Foon Sing, became infatuated with Smith, giving her presents such as a silk nightdress.〔 Although her friends would later testify that she feared him, her diary would reveal that she enjoyed attracting men.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Janet Smith case」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
