Robert Baltovich's life was turned upside down on June 19, 1990, when his girlfriend, Elizabeth Bain, went missing. She had told her parents that she was going out to check the tennis schedules at school, the University of Toronto Scarborough Campus. Elizabeth never came back. Her car was eventually recovered, and forensic tests revealed that blood on the back seat was hers. Elizabeth’s body has never been found. The police and prosecution never had any real evidence to connect Robert with Elizabeth’s disappearance; their case was entirely circumstantial. As will be discussed below, it was based on the unreliable eyewitness testimony of several witnesses. However, Robert was arrested on November 19, 1990, and charged with Elizabeth’s murder.
After losing the woman he loved and hoped to marry one day, Robert – an innocent man – spent eight years in prison for her murder. In addition, Robert’s attempts to put his life back together after his release were repeatedly frustrated by the slow and grueling process he had to undergo in order to finally clear his name.
