BTW, the boots with distinctive soles worn by Sonia's killer don't seem to be in production now. I looked for them in stores.

What years were they in production? That might give LE a window.

I don't know when they stopped using those soles, but the company would have that information. LE could find out production dates/suppliers directly.

And hopefully find out who purchased them throughout Ontario.

“Perhaps somebody knows something about that night and about that person,” Glassford told The Sun in 2020. “Sometimes, after a period of time, people become more able to talk about things they may remember.”

On the 12th anniversary of the brutal murder of Sonia Varaschin, it was much cooler in Orangeville than on the day the beloved nurse vanished.

And it was raining.

Fitting for this grim milestone.

A $50,000 reward remains in place for information that leads to the arrest and conviction of the person(s) responsible for the murder of Sonia Varaschin. Over 1,500 tips have been received from the public. Investigators continue to seek the one piece of information that will lead to an arrest.

Anyone with information, no matter how minor, is asked to contact the OPP at 1-888-310-1122 or Crime Stoppers anonymously at 1-800-222-8477 (TIPS).''

I was happy to see that Sonia’s case made my nightly Global News. Keep the pressure on.

This article speaks about Shelley and Sonia and that LE think the killer lives in Orangeville



Excerpt



The OPP is routinely cross-checking the evidence in Sonia’s case with that of other closed or active homicide investigations. Aside from proximity, Sonia’s murder is not believed to be connected to a vicious attack on Shelley Loder inside her Mono photography studio on Dec. 7, 2010.

Glassford was specifically asked about Williams and convicted killer Terry Tremble, who claimed the same person responsible for the attacks on Sonia and Loder could have killed his wife, Adrienne Roberts, in Arthur on Oct. 6, 2010. The detective didn't reveal much.

“When somebody comes to our attention, we’ll make inquiries. We’ll talk to other investigators on that case to look for any kind of connections,” Glassford said. “There is communication all the time.”

I believe it was a non-pharmaceuticals spin-off of the merger of two pharma companies. So depending on the dates, yes and no.
FYI, a merger occurred in 2008. I don't know when Shelley's husband left the company to study nursing.

One leaves nursing for pharma while the other´s husband leaves pharma for nursing.

I don't know when they stopped using those soles, but the company would have that information. LE could find out production dates/suppliers directly.
I can't imagine who would want to own boots with those soles after police publicized the brand and sole pattern.

A tale of two women attacked while alone in their homes, two white vehicles, two connections to pharma companies. That's a lot of twos.

I might as well mention that another woman living alone was murdered in her home in 2010, also in Ontario. She also drove a white vehicle. Her name was Audrey Gleave. We don't know if there were any similarities forensically between all of these murders/attacks, but strangely there is much confusion over whether DNA was actually found at the crime scenes.

As far as we know, Audrey Gleave did not have any connection to pharma companies.

AG certainly had the smarts to be involved in pharma. Anything involving Science and Physics.

Keep an open mind, one tip away, etc.

Excerpt
“Because we have been unable to identify a suspect, we can’t say if the person was local or if he was from out of town. It is an isolated area. How many people from out of town would go there?” Depratto wondered of the rural area where Loder was attacked. »


It seems that both Sonia’s and Shelley’s perp knows the areas very well. JMHO

Did both women, ages 42 and 44, fréquent the same places? Libraries, grocery stores, gas stations, car dealerships, on and on?

So sorry if someone has re-posted this for the anniversary already (I haven't doubled back yet through the prev pages) but here's the video from 2 years ago, Who Killed Sonia:
To view this content we will need your consent to set third party cookies.
For more detailed information, see our cookies page.

In the video, Det. Glassford states that the area of townhomes where Sonia lived was very tightly packed; he indicates the killer likely knew the area. Sonia's mom makes it clear she believes someone was there at Sonia's house in the evening because she didn't receive a call from Sonia that night (which was unusual UNLESS there were visitors). The former bf says he spoke with Sonia by phone around 9 pm. So: how do we reconcile these details? Michele reveals that Sonia was wearing a new nightgown she had bought herself for her birthday that night (Michele says Sonia had it on when found); Sonia would not likely be wearing it without a dressing gown to answer the door after 9 pm, Michele states.

She reminds us that the former bf's house is less than 5 km (per Michele) from where Sonia's body was found. Some like me have thought the perp was perhaps trying to frame the bf; Sonia's mom has a different interpretation.

I noted in the video the interesting way Glassford answered Qs about DNA. I know there's room for different interpretation on that. (Me, I share Michele's worries.)

What will it take to solve this case???

Logic tells us who is most likely to commit a crime like this. Logic also tells us that if DNA from people known to a victim is found in their home, this DNA is or is not useful, depending on where it is found and the relationship to the person.
