2006 COLD CASE - NEW EVIDENCE
DURHAM REGIONAL CRIME STOPPERS is asking for your help to solve a cold case from 2006.
On October 27, 2006, the remains of a female were discovered in a field near South Service Road and Holt Road, in Clarington.
Forensic investigators determined the woman was likely between 18 to 25-years of age. It was originally thought that the victim was either Caucasian or of Indigenous descent. The DRPS reached out to the DNA Doe Project - and - genetic genealogy suggests the female is of African and South-East Asian descent.
Although the female’s remains were not found until 2006, it is estimated that she could have died anytime between 1980 and 2004. She had prominent upper teeth and there was evidence of recent nasal surgery.
Originally found with the body was a woman’s digital Omni watch with a stainless-steel band which was sold exclusively at Consumers Distributing from 1981 to 1983.
Also found near the remains, was a size 9½ gold ring with a garnet between two one-point diamonds. The word “Burns” was stamped inside and the ring is believed to have been sold by Burns Jewelers, a family-run business on Simcoe Street in Oshawa from 1923 to 1994. The ring was made by A&A Manufacturing in Toronto.
Please view the attached sketch of the unidentified female provided by the DNA Doe Project - as well as the photos of the evidence found at the scene.
If you have any information about this case or know who is responsible, please call Crime Stoppers.
CRIME STOPPERS will pay up to $2000 cash for ANY information that leads to an arrest in this or ANY criminal matter. Callers never need to give their name or testify in court and we do NOT use call display.
