I still think it's very possible her ex is the man they have in custody in connection. But I supposed it's also possible that he (the ex) gave them information that tracked them to Holly's car and led to an arrest of another man?

Not sure what I can post here (what is considered hear-say) so I apologise if this is against rules, but I do have a friend who was a friend of Holly's and it was mentioned that her ex was very abusive and HH wanted nothing to do with him.
Also, with a facebook post from HH's brother it seemed like there was defintely a fear that ex (not sure if I can mention his name) was responsible for Holly's disappearance.

I think it's safe to assume that the ex is responsible for this. However, as of now, his name is not on tomorrow's court docket, and today's has been removed.
I'm just wondering if there's an aider, abieter, or accessory involved in this crime. Also, what was the significance in CHCH stating that the parking garage was a known place to ditch stolen cars? Is that even true?

Would he really talk, though? I could see that if he was ratting on someone else's involvement, but if he's the main offender, I'm not sure how likely talking would be.

Helpful link for those who haven't seen it yet. The video states that forensic units are in fact inside the ex-boyfriends apartment likely collecting evidence. It's uncertain at this point why Guelph detectives are assisting, but they are present. Sources have stated that Holly was found inside the trunk, but HPS has yet to confirm this. The ex-boyfriend is named in the written portion of the article, for those who aren't yet aware.
It's safe to assume that this man will be the one before the courts tomorrow.
Just as friend and family were preparing for their search, they were informed Holly was found deceased. They held a candlelight vigil instead, in memory of their loved one. So profoundly devastating.

On this map, the star indicates where the photo of the car on the tow truck would have been taken. The area is full of high rises and parking garages. The two black outlines are the most likely lots where he would have parked. A 10 min drive from his house.

The article has been updated to state Justin Dumphrey has been charged-with second degree murder.
Police will be providing an update at noon today.

He parked under the lot closer to Lake Ave. This is the Google streetview showing the ramp: https://goo.gl/maps/rmJov4GgZQu
Here's a photo of the tow truck driving up the ramp (that is Barton St. that is visible behind). https://pbs.twimg.com/ext_tw_video_thumb/953726714688946176/pu/img/kyWhyeJ8cU5DXXIa.jpg

I'm still curious why he decided to dump the car there. Does he know someone who lives there, or did he used to live there? Years ago my grandparents lived in a nearby building -- it's not really a great area.

I'm curious about this too. It's either just a completely random spot, or it's significant for some reason. I'm also curious as to how this all came to a head. It's heartwarming to hear that so many public tips came in to assist the investigation. I wonder though what he was actually thinking? To drop the daughter off at the grandparents, and ditch the car in a seemingly accessible place, I think he must have known he was done for.

so sad for this beautiful woman... and her daughter, who must live on now, with all the pain and hurt... May she find special moments to call upon that bring her joy and comfort when she is ready.

That was a more helpful briefing from HPS.
It has now been officially confirmed that she was found in the trunk of her car. JH was arrested at the courthouse when he showed up for his appearance yesterday on unrelated charges. There is a documented history of domestic violence between the ex-couple, with a probation order prohibiting him from contact with HH. The officer stated that JH had been quite busy around town leading up to his arrest, when asked by a reporter if he could confirm that there is video surveillance showing JH purchasing cleaning supplies from a store.
If there was an individual assisting or harbouring JH, they could face charges as well, and that information will come to light as the investigation continues. They still have a lot to piece together I'd imagine, regarding to his activities and movements between Sunday and Wednesday.
Nothing was asked or expanded on regarding the parking garage.

BBM - So he was due in court before he even murdered Holly?! If he was always planning on attending court, he must have thought he could get away with the murder because surely he knew the cops would show up.
I would like clarification on what custody arrangement they had (if any; I heard she would never leave her daughter alone with him) and to know how he got Holly to come by on Sunday. She told her family she was visiting "a friend" so either she was keeping it from them, or she didn't know she'd end up at his place.
Such a senseless crime.
Again, I don't know what I can post here, so anyone please correct me but we do share a mutual friend. From what I have heard, Holly was a single mother who would never leave her daughter or be anywhere near his apartment. Not sure how she go there, or the details. I didn't know the "she told family she was visiting a friend" part or the details of their relationship/parental relationship other than she was a single mother and that JD was abusive.
