Original Toronto Star caption: Campus mourns slaying of 'sweetest girl'. Stunned classmates at Oshawa's Kingsway College gather to discuss the death of 19-year-old Gail Ruth Mohns who was found strangled in her bedroom last night. In the background a flag flies at half mast. Students described the Grade 12 student as one of the prettiest and sweetest girls on the campus. Neighbors said she didn't wear any make-up and did very little dating because her boyfriend is in U.S.
