CANADA Canada - Sonia Varaschin, 42, Orangeville, 29 Aug 2010 - #2

How many people in Orangeville know where the CCTV camera's are, and was the perp caught on those CCTV camera's or not?

If not, that could be a clue.

JMO

Part of the investigation has been focused on analyzing video evidence obtained by police from around the crime scenes.

This investigation is continuing under the direction of Detective Inspector Shawn Glassford of the OPP CIB.

“We’ve designed this DNA collection process in concentric circles around her life and the geography,” Karskisaid.

Varaschin’s apartment was splattered in blood, as was her white Toyota, which was found abandoned in a downtown park. Police still haven’t released her cause of death.

Karskialso would not give any indication whether they have a person of interest in the case.

Former Toronto police homicide investigator Steve Reesor said in an interview that it’s very possible they have an eye on a suspect.

“For all you know, they do have a suspect and they’re working that suspect,” Reesor said.

bbm= also Jasper/Alberta and so on?

Pritchard said they want to hear from anyone who knows someone who:

wears boots like the ones shown above
is familiar with the Orangeville area
came home on Aug. 30 with unexplained staining on their clothing or their boots
has since discarded these boots or does so after today's announcement
or has purchased new boots since Aug. 30 for work-related reasons

"A friend, co-worker or spouse will hold the key to solving this crime," Pritchard said. "Anyone who has any doubts or any suspicions is encouraged to call the police so we can look into the matter."

Pritchard said there is nothing to indicate that there is more than one suspect involved in Varaschin's murder.

There are professions, where one has "staining on their clothing or their boots" time and again, I think.

Wondergirl, I'm interested in your one and last step!

Wow was I confident yesterday! Lol. I was thinking out loud, umm, or typing out loud, because I'm not that confident today. I just feel like the answer is right there.

IF the other party (the friend, the co-worker, the spouse) is now dead and had ie seriously depressions and other mental health problems before ie suicide, then a friend, a co-worker, a spouse will never voluntarily help the case, I think.

Hi, Wondergirl, I have bolded the part, that means half an answer to your question, who probably knows about CCTV. I think, the perp wasn't caught.

And now, your step ...? Yes, now go further, go deeper ... Well ... Tschaka, you will make it!

http://blogs.windsorstar.com/opinion/the-ethics-of-blooding-in-search-of-a-killer

DNA sweeps, or blooding, as it is provocatively called, are more common than you might think.

The practice dates back to 1987 when English police decided to find the killer of two young women using a new technology of genetic, or DNA, fingerprinting. Thousands of men had blood drawn using syringes, hence the term blooding.

None, however, turned out to be the killer. The real killer was a local baker, Colin Pitchfork. He had briefly evaded detection by paying a co-worker to give his blood pretending to be Pitchfork. The police eventually found out and Pitchfork became the first person to be convicted using DNA evidence. The case led to the novel The Blooding by Joseph Wambaugh.

BACKGROUNDER
OPP Unsolved Homicide In
vestigation Team (UHIT)

UHIT was established in 2008 as a result
of previous OPP projects targeting
unsolved homicides.
Following are examples of successful conclu
sions to investigations in the OPP’s
Central (CR), West (WR) and Northeast (NER) regions.
•
Project Millennium
conducted unsolved homicide case reviews as to
solvability and made recommendations, but
investigative initiatives were
made on an ad hoc basis when recourses were available to do so. CIB
Inspectors would be assigned those ca
ses that were deemed solvable.
•
Project Angel
(1997 – 2001) was a partnership with the OPP and London
Police Service in which a number of unsolved homicides in the London
and Southwestern Ontario area were
reviewed and investigated that
included forensic reviews. This
project resolved several homicides
including
...........................................

In June 2008,
Project Consolidation II
resulted in an arrest in the Velma
THOMSON homicide (1983 OPP Petrolia),
arresting a 40 year-old male
suspect after the development of DNA
from two sources from the crime
scene. These charges are st
ill pending before the court.
•
Project TRIBUTE
- Katherine WILSON Homi
cide (1970 Kirkland Lake) –
Solved; murder charges laid in 2009.
A plea of guilty was entered in court
and a life sentence was issued. The case received international media
coverage and the
Lynda Shaw Award
from the Ontario Homicide
Investigators Association.

Court heard Ellacott’s right thumbprint was found on the vinyl tile floor near Thomson’s body. A DNA profile that matched his was found in crime scene semen deposits.
In a strange twist that helped solve the cold case, an identification officer had carried the crime scene thumbprint for years and eventually got a match during a random check at a fingerprinting convention. It turned out Ellacott’s print was still on file for a minor offence while he was in college.

The thumbprint hit eventually led to Ellacott’s arrest in Owen Sound, Ont., in June 2008. A jury convicted him in April 2012.

Sadly, along with BC’s Rick Schmidt, featured
in this issue and whom I did not have the
pleasure of knowing personally, I lost a friend
and fellow CSIA Ski Pro, whose life was taken
a few weeks ago. Sonia Varaschin was a fine
example of caring deeply about her students
– especially the little ones in her children’s
programs. Sonia was always smiling and her
dedication will shine on forever. Rest in Peace,
Beautiful Girl and all those we have lost. Your
lessons will forever be remembered

Very cool, like finding a needle in a haystack, maybe something similar will happen in Sonia's case!
Wonder if they also hold DNA conventions?

On Dec. 11, Cassandra Kaake, 31, seven months pregnant, was found dead in her home on Benjamin Avenue after firefighters extinguished a blaze. An autopsy found she died of blood loss — not the fire — and a veteran police investigator described it as “the most disturbing” crime scene he had seen.

Now, seven weeks later, police detectives are returning to the neighbourhood with a mission to speak to every resident.

They are asking what make of vehicle they drive, what their licence plate is, how long they have lived there, whether they rent or own their home and who else lives in the house. They are also asking if they recall seeing Ms. Kaake, perhaps out walking her dog, and about any suspicious vehicles or people they may have seen.

It is the last question asked, however, that is most unusual: Are they willing to turn over a blood sample, at a future date, to help investigators in their probe.

It is a technique dubbed “blooding.”

Don’t be afraid to speak Sonia’s name

We need to fight, share and show support for the loss of a loved one. Sonia was obviously very well loved and adored by her family and friends. We shouldn’t shy away from her story, no matter how horrible, sensitive and ugly the details are.
We shouldn’t rest our tongues on this subject until there is peace, and justice is finally served and the one who took the life of this “Angel” (as many have referred to Ms. Varaschin) away from her family, her friends, and her community.
It’s not fair what happened to her (Sonia) or any other member of the community who has been treated in any negative manner. But please, let’s not keep quiet on this subject.
This small “incident” and honest mistake has stirred up a lot of emotions and opinions, but I will reassure each and every single Orangeville and area resident, that Orangeville is very passionate, supportive and exceptionally compassionate when it comes to standing up for what’s right, fighting for a fellow member of our community.
The majority of us will not keep quiet or rest until the day we can finally agree that Sonia will rest forever peacefully, the day justice is finally served.

It’s because of its rough topography that Caledon is full of places for outsiders to dump bodies. Now with that same topography protected, Caledon has help keeping the city at bay.

Back at the north end of the Caledon, Mr. Colucci says the area reminds him of Brampton 34 years ago.

“When I moved there, it was like this place is now, quiet,” he says. “Now, down there, you’ve got to watch who you’re talking to.”

He’s not happy about the bodies, nor about zoning regulations that prevent him from severing his lot or putting up another building. On balance, though, he says he’d rather live in a place where dead bodies appear, not where they disappear from.

Special to The Globe and Mail


Sorry, NOTHING new (as always).

This is a list of women who were murdered and whose intimate partner was either charged or committed suicide since 1990, the first full year after the December 6, 1989 Montreal Massacre. This is a partial list only, taken from major media reports.

I posted this on a different site, but thought I'd bring it here:
an arrest was made in Cassandra Kaake's murder (Windsor) earlier this week -- http://blogs.windsorstar.com/news/c...own-man-who-allegedly-murdered-pregnant-woman

In that case, a tip came in (presumably from a neighbour) during LE's door-to-door canvass (second 'round?). Maybe it would be worth LE going back to Sonia's townhouse complex and interviewing neighbours again.... Maybe a wife or hubby or teen wasn't home in the original survey of Sonia's neighbourhood who might have something of interest they don't even know is significant. Certainly, a return canvass couldn't hurt! Interviews take some LE resources, but not, I expect for the fairly small area, onerously so.

Yep I think a second round of interviews would help, but there are some neighbours who moved out after the murder. JMO

The risky behaviour displayed by the killer, said Det.-Insp Pritchard, was entering Ms. Varaschin’s home, killing her and then removing her body in the close confines of her townhouse complex. Ms. Varaschin’s killer also drove her car to the area where he disposed of her body, and then abandoned it close to the scene of the murder, with blood clearly visible on the outside of the car.

He said the behaviour was not only risky but “reckless.”

Investigators also said Ms. Varaschin may have been known to the killer.


I don't know, why there is the question about "murder in her townhouse or not". I would think: yes, in her home. But even Sonia's parents don't know, as they said. :thinking:

No parking: Dispute leads to man's arrest

When the man exited the store, he exchanged words with the person taking photos of his vehicle before reversing out of the parking spot and striking the other patron with the back of his car.

The man left the scene and was eventually found by police near Mayfield Road in Caledon.


My thoughts: Young man (25), craftsman (boots), own company (D.a.o.d R.n.v.t.o.= one point for one missing letter) in Orangeville, nevertheless such uncontrolled as a businessman!!! There may be more to him ...?
I have to admit: I find a lot suspicious. :blushing:
