Evelyn Dick (née MacLean, born October 13, 1920) was a Canadian socialite suspected of killing her husband and son although she never confessed to either crime. She served time for manslaughter from 1947 to 1958 and subsequently disappeared. She was issued a pardon under the royal prerogative of mercy in 1985. Her trials remain among the most sensationalized events in Canadian criminal history.
