Family of Toronto man, presumed murdered, visits landfill on first day of police search
''The family of Nathaniel Brettell, an Etobicoke man who was presumed murdered in January, made the trip to London on Monday to see the first day of a massive police search of a landfill for his remains.
Lois and Ian Brettell drove for hours from their homes in the Niagara region to the Green Lane Landfill, bringing with them mementos and photos of other deceased family members to remind their brother he’s not alone.
“I’m full of anguish, full of pain,” Lois Brettell told CTV News London outside of the facility on Monday.
“I’m Nathaniel Brettell’s baby sister — I want to know everything I can.”
''The search is expected to take months.''
“I miss him. It’s really hard,” he said. “Just to know what happened to him — to have closure on it,” he said.''
