Alison May Campbell Parrott (September 28, 1974July 25, 1986) was an 11-year-old girl who was lured out of her home by a male phone caller in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. Her remains were found two days later in a densely wooded area of Kings Mill Park. A decade later, a link analysis helped Toronto homicide detectives match the DNA evidence with a man who was charged with the crime. Francis Carl Roy was convicted of first-degree murder on April 13, 1999. Sentenced to life in prison, he has been eligible for parole since 2021. Early life Alison May Campbell Parrott was born on September 28, 1974 in Toronto. Her father, Peter Parrott, was a civil engineer; her mother Lesley was an advertising executive. At the time of her murder, Alison attended a French immersion elementary school and frequently used public transit.

She had won her first race that summer and qualified to participate in an international track-and-field meet in New Jersey, scheduled for 1 August.

When Alison failed to return on time, her parents waited until 5 pm to begin inquiring among their friends and neighbours as to her whereabouts. At 6 pm, they called police. Hundreds joined the search in the following days. Alison's body was found two days later by two boys walking in a densely wooded area of Kings Mill Park, on the Humber River just below the Old Mill subway station; she
