It sounds like the police are in the frustrating position of knowing her mom’s Tim Hortons story is obviously not true, but they lack the evidence to move on charges of any kind - there’s no evidence that isn’t what happened, and they don’t have a cause of death. The worst part is that that...

“A critical fact went unsaid as Neveah was identified to the world. Far from a mystery child — an undocumented immigrant, or a new arrival in Canada, as authorities first theorized — Neveah had, for most of her life, been in the care of the province’s child protection agencies. She was far from...

When the police first identified her, they said that genetic genealogy and a well timed, but not specific, tip let them narrow it down to her quickly. The article explains what it was: “As months passed, the genealogy research uncovered leads, including a clue to her heritage, indicating she...

Ohhh this makes more sense. I still don’t know that I’m sold on this: from what I’ve read in many of those extortion cases the demands seem to be for more money and the threats/violence seem a little more “hands off (calls/texts, arson, shooting into parking lots when the business is closed for...

I mean, there’s clearly some element of this that’s complex and ongoing - I just don’t know how you make the leap to “South Asian gang shakedown” being the most likely option here, particularly given that the suspects very much look white.

The police refused to say whether she left the wedding with anyone. I think it’s possible they know it’s likely this person was with her that night, but it took time to build a case for a search warrant, and they might still not have any smoking gun physical evidence yet. Since charges start the...

Given that he said it intersected with the genealogical path, I was wondering if it was someone like a building superintendent who might see kids in the hallway/playing outside or an educator at something like EarlyON, where kids can drop in and out without regular attendance being expected -...

I’m so curious about what the tip was that made the vague but helpful information they were tracking down intersect with the genetic testing investigation route. It seems like something that will be interesting if (and hopefully when, because that will likely only be after they arrest someone)...

A preteen doing this at all is obviously disturbing but the fact that he did it again even after he must have known that 1) he was caught on camera and 2) that the police were looking into this seriously enough that his pictures were released is an extra layer of chilling to me.

They’ve arrested and charged a 12 year old. He can’t be charged for several of the assaults because he was 11 when they took place. https://beta.ctvnews.ca/local/toronto/2023/4/20/1_6363492.amp.html I’m curious about what the break was - was he caught attempting to do it again, telling a...

It’s very close to Bloor Street, which has the East/West subway line, and is a block from the off ramp to the Don Valley Parkway, the main north/south highway on this side of town. Rosedale isn’t really somewhere I personally don’t love to cut through since it’s a residential area with lots of...

The car could be leased, borrowed etc. You can! It’s called Uber Delivery. I’ve used it for things like sending keys a friend left at my house that I didn’t have time to return before she needed them, and it prevented her from having to make the trip over just to go back home. It’s only...

Oh, I don’t think a nicer car totally rules out someone from a lower socioeconomic status in every case (or even this one for certain!), but as a Toronto resident, lots and lots of people don’t own cars here at all! Much like NYC or other big cities, people of all socioeconomic statuses who...

In a similar vein of some other posters earlier, I was hopeful of the scenario that it might have been an accidental or natural death, and that a family on the margins of society (undocumented immigrants, people afraid of law enforcement for whatever reason, etc.) panicked and this was the...

Interesting - the two people arrested have more common Punjabi names. Obviously anyone can entice or hire anyone to commit crimes for them, but they’re outside of the Persian/Iranian circle a lot of this was focused on before.

Still such vague statements even three months later. Let’s hope releasing the mom video isn’t a Hail Mary because they dropped the ball on doing it earlier and more that it’s a strategic decision because they have some solid leads.

Guilty - it looks like there wasn’t really a viable defence strategy. If I had to guess, his lawyer likely pushed for a plea deal and either the Crown or Duncan rejected it. https://www.cbc.ca/amp/1.6246958 Really sad story all the way around, imo. His mother is dead and that’s a tragedy, and...

Video of what happened preceding the murder, and the only photo I’ve ever seen of the victim, here. 21-year-old man on trial for stabbing his mother to death in Toronto PATH food court in 2019 - Toronto | Globalnews.ca Maybe I’m reading too much into it because I’m trying to mentally reverse...

The trial started today. It seems like it’ll be interesting - the kid’s father was convicted of abuse and even the Crown described them having a traumatic childhood, while he’s on video committing the murder. Curious whether the lack of a plea deal (to, say, second degree murder with an agreed...
