As the investigation continues, Leon urges local residents to lock their doors and be mindful of their surroundings.


“The days of leaving your doors unlocked are over,” he said. “The Sonia Varaschin case is certainly an indication that crime can happen anywhere at any time. We’re certainly seeing an increase in some violent crimes occurring in the area and I think the public has to be cognizant of that fact.”

Three months had passed since the life of the pretty nurse was brutally ended by an unknown assailant. Although the crime remains unsolved, the mood in Orangeville and surrounding communities was starting to lighten as people embraced the joy of the holiday season.

An update on Shelley's condition was posted Monday night on her FB page. As per the TOS I cannot copy and paste the post here. Apparently she had a medical procedure done (no mention of when) to decrease the pressure on her brain, and taken out of induced coma. By the time of that post, she hadn't woken up

No further updates since then; everyone is praying for her speedy and full recovery.

Prayers for Shelley and her family.

They brought in a lot of the "big guns" for this case, now I am really curious about who they are looking for!

"Police in Ontario sought assistance from the FBI's behavioural analysis unit, located at Quantico, Va., along with specialists from Ontario Provincial Police and the RCMP. The summit also included senior homicide detectives from the OPP, as well as police departments in York Region, Ottawa and Toronto."

Until these answers are known, our community must live with the knowledge that either one person, fixated on woman of a certain age and physical likeness, committed these two heinous crimes or that there are now two very violent individuals possibly living amongst us.

This newest attack is also 10 hours from the 4 bodies found on the beach.... Sonia's murder was after both the May and June disappearances that are possibly connected to the bodies and some of the bodies have been there as long as 2 years. Maybe killing one every 6 months or so unless there is a stressful time which causes him to escalate?

I wonder what a serial killers limit is on "okay, I've killed enough people here... I should probably move onto somewhere else and change my MO a bit before I run out of luck in this area...."

Just an observation...

More info about this as dotr posted earlier today. The article also has the name of the Mono woman who was attacked. Her name is Shelley Loder and her home is 5 minutes from where Sonia's vehicle was discovered with its doors open and covered in blood.

"Last Saturday, an OPP forensics van was parked for most of the day outside a Broadway apartment building in downtown Orangeville, just a five-minute drive from the semisecluded townhome by a ravine where Varaschin lived alone."

and

"The apartment building is also just a five-minute drive from the country home near Mono off Hwy. 10 where professional photographer Shelley Loder was attacked last week."

Hmmm...wonder what's up with that apartment building on Broadway.

"This will show that the investigation and the investigators assigned to this case have certainly been doing an awful lot of behind-the-scenes work," Leon said Wednesday.

"To have the calibre of investigators to be able to meet for three days as they did is something I've never seen before. I don't think we've had the opportunity to bring so many experts to the table from so many different walks of life."

Information about the case, and hopefully about a suspect profile, will be released tomorrow at a press conference.

The results of the summit will be discussed Thursday at a media conference in Orangeville. A news conference is scheduled for 11 a.m. (Thursday, Dec 16th)

"The profile of her alleged killer is to contain descriptions of his actions and demeanour at the time of the homicide and when her body was found, to help the public identify him."

[flipflop]

With the FBI involved and this snippet from the link below:

The FBI's storied Behavioral Analysis Unit in Quantico, Virginia is well-known for its work developing detailed profiles of serial killers.

is the author of this article trying to tell us something.

Okay, the FBI thing, could be something as simple as Det.-Sgt. Jim Smyth (or another behavioural profiler, OPP officer etc.) inviting their FBI counterparts to assist in their investigation.

OR

It could indicate some sort of interest that the FBI has in these crimes, possibly because of similarities to a perp in their country.
