We assume (with good reason, imo) that a male attacked SV, but what if it was actually a large, strong and ''sporty'' woman?
speculation, imo.
I’m trying to think like a killer. Fortunately don’t have any experience in this field. If for some reason I wanted or needed to kill someone, I think I would go to their home, kill them and leave, hoping that no one saw me arrive or depart. Why would I want to attract attention to myself and also take the body with me? The only thing I can think of is to prevent her family from finding the deceased person in that state, to prevent them that pain and suffering. Is it possible that someone who knew Sonia and her family, killed her intentionally or accidentally, but then felt the need to move her to spare her parents the shock of finding her?

No, he did it to put a distance between him and Sonia's home, I think. He had possibly some connection to Sonia and her home and would be one of the persons, if not THE ONE, that would have been suspected because of that. IMOI’m trying to think like a killer.

At some point, police said that it was a man. Was it proven by DNA, though? They've also mentioned more than one person. Again, was there DNA to prove this, or was it calculated to generate tips?

We can stop questioning whether DNA exists or not: https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/toronto/police-seek-dna-samples-in-varaschin-case-1.994483
"The Orangeville Police Service and the Ontario Provincial Police said that "DNA was recovered" during the course of the eight-month investigation."
LE collected voluntary samples of DNA so I doubt it was a bluff. But I have often wondered in the past 10 years, what happened with the DNA? Especially with the link you posted regarding technology to help differentiate between one contributor and another. That piece of information is interesting. Does this mean the DNA they have is mixed with SV? Or mixed with another perpetrator??
Also, as you said @Gina20 I too was under the impression that this technology was part of some kind of standard forensic procedure. Could it be that since it has been mixed with another profile, it would be too degraded/contaminated for other tests or use in other labs? That would be so disappointing.
Police collecting DNA in Varaschin murder probe
"He said Wednesday it could take up to three weeks to collect the samples, but can't say now long it will take to get the results. Leon says he would expect anyone with nothing to hide to provide a sample."
Ita. Much more plausible. I don't believe there was any attempt made to conceal the body due to the murderer feeling remorse or guilt. IMHO Sonia was hidden for the purpose of buying time and creating distance.
Remember when Russell Williams left DNA at many break-ins? His DNA was "partial" and "incomplete". It wasn't useful, until finally he got careless. I never understood how he could leave DNA seemingly everywhere he went, but none of it was useful.
The scene(s) of SV is so messy I am praying for carelessness.
Partial means there is an amount of degradation or contamination. I have faith : )
I don't doubt that there would have been DNA in Sonia's townhome. DNA is everywhere people go. Police could have found DNA from people who were known to Sonia, or DNA could have been left by first responders. Sonia was missing when they entered her home, so they might have been in a hurry to get her medical attention. Understandable. No one knew for sure that she had been murdered at that point.
So I don't doubt that DNA from multiple sources was found at the three crime scenes. In order to be useful, it would have to come from someone not known to Sonia, or someone who wasn't supposed to be there. Even something as simple as taking her car in for an oil change at the dealership would leave DNA from the service representative, the car jockey, the technician and another car jockey. Over time, that DNA would degrade.
I will continue to ask questions until information is provided. I guess 10+ years of following Sonia's story proves that I don't give up. No use asking me to stop. I'm stubborn and persistent. Team Sonia 100%!

This is pure speculation. We do not know what LE have. We do NOT know that they have 3 samples from 3 scenes. Please mark your posts as "speculation" in the future. Respectfully.
If we want to be useful (why else are we here?) perhaps some practical questions... Let's say that OPS have a DNA sample that has become contaminated. Let's say there are several contributors and the origin/location of the sample cannot be disclosed for the purpose of discretion... Lets say the bf and SV met up at some point within the 24 hours prior. Let's say there is an intruder, a second "profile" if you will...
We do not know what kind of DNA. Yes, it is everywhere. If you want to get technical yes, contact DNA an transfer DNA are a thing. Meanwhile... we can reason and use logic to explain why certain types of DNA are present in certain locations. Some things are difficult to explain away.
I have confidence that OPS LE have something. No matter the value, I believe that with a bit of time, technology and faith there will be an answer.
CANADA - Veronica Lynn Kaye, 18, Toronto, 7 Nov 1980 *unique button found*Remembering the unsolved 1980 murder of Etobicoke teenager Veronica Kaye. She was dumped north of Bolton, in a wooded area near Humber Station Road and Castlederg Sideroad. I noted that this is by the Bolton Resource Management Tract, which includes a popular hiking trail. People out walking the trail found Veronica's remains. Making a mental note, because Sonia was found near the Caledon Tract. Even though it is unlikely that these two cases are related, I thought this is worth mentioning.
Hopefully the killer is in the police system already .....This morning there is an article in the Toronto Sun called “Cops turned up heat on cold cases in 2020”. Michael Arntfield who is a criminology professor at Western University and a cold case expert is quoted as saying “Any case that has DNA is now, in theory, 100% solvable.” There is no reason why Sonia’s killer can’t be found this year. They have the killer’s DNA. They have the technology. Let’s hope they are busy arresting her killer as we read here.
