Out of interest, this is called a 60spainter's jacket. Button not the same, but interesting how buttons were used.
This is Vintage 60s 70’s Stone Cutter Painter Overalls
Not the same button but yes, buttons. coveralls with metal buttons
Have at it if you like. I scrolled a lot of clothing photos yesterday and came up with nothing. I am still going with the low-income mid-income farm living type painter, factory worker, whatever who wore an old coat. I feel the button is quite worn from rough handling, not fashion. The Caledon...
Yep, the problem with this Cold Case in that I guess LE hoping for a deathbed confession, or someone who knew more would spill the beans. Kind of late now that so many years have passed IMO. But I understand how family want closure so badly.
I originally thought the button was larger which made me think these vest snaps were too small. However, after checking the ruler in the official police image, the evidence button is actually only 17mm like on your vest afterall. Were these vest buttons sewn on or pressed / snapped on?
Button and garment speculation from online research
A cardigan, sweater-jacket, vest, or pocket button
Possibly wearing a garment from the late 60s or early 70s,
Used heavily for years, producing the deep wear on button.
This type of clothing commonly worn by male 35–60 years old

Questions:
Where did the assault happen?
Close to the last seen location- photography store?
Once up in the Caledon area
We don't know the route he took up to Caledon. He could have taken Hwy 10 which is the road Square one is on, or he could have taken Dixie Road back then, or another north...
Some working hypotheses:
Was the perp:
A known acquaintance, casual pickup during transit -- like a friend saw her standing at the bus stop?
A slightly older contact (work/area), arranged ride -- like someone she met at her apartment building? Painter, etc. ?
An opportunistic contact such as...
I could be from a uniform, but those are usually crests or insignias. If it were, that would be a clue. But, it may be simply decorative. Etsy is full of vintage metal buttons from the 70s & 80s. I do agree the loop is broken off the back. Perhaps our victim pulled it off in their fight.
The button could simply be a vintage 70s/80s silver toned button with no special meaning, popular everywhere during that era and on both men's and women's clothing. (Photo Source: https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/toronto/opp-veronica-lynn-kaye-button-cold-case-1.4895510)

They don't know if she made it to Square One. I was at Square One in the mid-80s and felt I was being followed by a man inside Walmart there. I feared for myself and sneakily let him exit and I ran the opposite direction. I wonder if she was picked up/taken by some creeper?
The problem with submitting to Namus is they don't have a proper submit button with this case and I even created an account!! I sent the info to the NamUs contact page and who knows if they will be looked at.

I hope they start accepting Facebook snips here because for sleuths and for LE this seems important! Perhaps the sighting wasn't verified, but still, good find.
May Street has a North and a South. It seems very long so a more precise location would have been helpful.
It is a 40 minute bus...
This was found online. Is ESL mentioned here ML's partner? I think so. *Under Canadian law, he is considered innocent unless proven guilty in court.
