Police west of Ottawa restarted an evidence search yesterday, six months after combing through a nearby property belonging to a missing woman's ex-husband.

OPP Sgt. Kristine Rae said the search in the Ashton area has to do with an "ongoing missing persons investigation" but she didn't have any more details to disclose about the probe.

The search was near the same village where police scoured a farm property last fall.

Police have declined to say if that investigation has anything to do with the Diane Marie Bourne case.

Bourne was 22 years old when she mysteriously disappeared from the Ashton area in 1976.

Bourne, Diane
Husband of woman missing 31 years faces weapons charges, CBC News, November 16, 2007

There is no summary in the charley project ... which is a shame because it is always much more complete than in the doe network, in any case it was a very beautiful and young woman who apparently was murdered by her husband, perhaps with a lover ... she did not deserve die Diane ..
rest in peace
