The girl whom you say lived in the building... she could have used that method of communicating with Nicole (by simply buzzing her apartment). The alternative for her would have been to make a call, or to travel to another floor and go and knock on her door. Perhaps it was impossible to travel to certain floors via the elevator without being buzzed in by someone on the relevant floor, or having security access, as is normal today. Pre mobile phones and as an alternative to making a phone call from a landline, and because she may already have been outside of the building, this would be one of the most efficient ways to contact someone, even in your own building (a very large building). And after all the foyer was the meeting spot. Jennifer could have buzzed Nicole's apartment.
This happened in Toronto, which had a very low crime rate at the time, so I doubt there were a lot of security measures in the building, certainly not like there are today.
Nicole Morin disappeared 45 years ago and there's no body that could have yielded DNA, so absent a death bed confession, I seriously doubt this case will ever be solved.

"Telephone call" might just be a messy away of referring to the use of the intercom.

... and she may not have access to Nicole's floor without using the intercom first... that's how it tends to work these days, unsure if it did there in the '80s.
The friend may have used the intercom like we would a mobile phone these days.
I haven't seen anything to suggest the friend was up in the same apartment as Nicole and came down without her first.

I've lived in high rise apartments and back in the 80s, I don't recall any having intercoms that allowed residents to talk to each other, which would have been very complicated for an intercom system serving hundreds of apartments. Most buildings that size had someone at the door and I doubt people had to be buzzed in as they do in smaller buildings. Also, in a building that size, there would be more than one person using most elevators at that time of day and anyone could get off at any floor where the elevator stopped.

The re-enactment shows you needed to be buzzed in and that the system used voice: www.facebook.com/scotmills/videos/23672760712I wasn't referring to a system between apartments in place of phone, just being able to talk to an apartment from the lobby.

You can't trust re-enactments. I saw a re-enactment of the FBI Killer case the other night that showed Mark Putnam choking Susan Smith to death in the motel room, but he actually killed her in the front seat of his rental car.
