I really feel that by now, something should have been done with the DNA.

There is no reason not to and the technology must certainly exist so what happened?? Was it a bluff?

It's 2024 what is taking so long?
Speaker in this video says it was not a great DNA sample.

I am wondering about how useful the DNA sample really is. Is there a reason it hasn’t been used to identify the killer? Is the sample tainted or damaged?

I suspect if the DNA was taken from her - fingernails, etc., it was a bad sample as she had been outdoors in the heat and rain several days by then as the guy in this video shares it makes a good sample hard to come by.

Many offenders choose to dump a body within 10–30 km of their residence or anchor point (significant relationship). First-time offenders tend to stay closer to their anchor point. Could the offender live somewhere within the red triangle?

Would someone walk over casually at 9 PM?

If he:
  • Lives nearby → yes.
  • Knows her → yes.
  • Thinks she’ll answer → yes.
If he’s a stranger → less likely she opens door.
oops, Photo source, Google maps. Red outline drawn by me.

Did SV own or rent the townhouse?
In looking at more recent property photos, it looks like there was keyless entry to front door and automatic garage door.
In 2010, was there automatic garage door and keypad entry code on front door?
Someone working with property management would have access codes, universal remotes.

I had missed this article. August 22, 2018. Not sure if it's been posted:

"Investigators are keeping an “open mind” accomplices or more than one attacker may have been involved in the circumstances surrounding the 42-year-old Orangeville nurse’s murder. Is the OPP confident it’s searching for just one suspect?"
“One, two or three people, we won’t get into how many we think were involved.”

This is the article that talks about the amount of blood, and also the bedclothes (blankets). The blood likely resulted from trauma during the assault.

SPECULATION What causes this amount of bleeding? *Blunt Force Trauma to Head/Face

--Even a single strike can produce large blood volume. Examples:
  • A split scalp
  • A deep eyebrow cut
  • A laceration from striking furniture
  • A blunt impact causing skin to split
  • Nose fractures, mouth injuries, lip split
  • If she resisted and fell.
Perp sees blood and thinks, 'I need to stop the bleeding. I need to move her, I need something to wrap her in', blankets are often chosen. We don't know if the attack happened in the bedroom, or if the perp ran upstairs to fetch blankets just for this purpose.

I missed that article and podcast. It clarified the townhouse was purchased.

Garage doesn't appear to have the lift master system installed.

The townhomes on 5 Spring Street are maintained by a local property management. Real estate listing here with info.

Hopefully the angle of workers was looked into as that could lead to persons familiar with the area.

There IS a keypad outside of the garage door. Look to the left side of the door. It's there. Look at the photo where the garage door is closed.
There is now, but where is it in this one from 2010? 1772400378709.webp

ii've had two suspects all along:
1. He's LE
2. He's a serial who did Sonia, Shelley and Audrey

If you read through all of my posts, you'll clearly see my reasoning laid out.

How do we get a reward for Audrey as well?

In 2010, no keypad for garage door. This is s photo taken August 31, 2010.

Oh you have a great eye.

With the keyless entry it made me wonder if LE and OPP looked into changes to the code or put together a list of known contacts who had the code.
It's odd that the door was closed but unlocked and SV's car was left with door and trunk left open.
Does this mean the killer was rushed or that they knew that extra touch/contact with those doors would leave forensic evidence?

Chief Mark Toomey of the Orangeville police said the perp had an intimate knowledge of Sonia, Orangeville, and/or the neighbourhood (her townhouse complex).

The attention to the boots is treated as the missing "key"
"A friend, co-worker or spouse will hold the key to solving this crime," Pritchard said. (Ontario Provincial Police Det.-Insp. Mark Pritchard)

Toomey said police are looking for any information about anyone who came home Aug. 30. with stained boots, or anyone who has got rid of work boots or will have done so after Wednesday afternoon’s police news conference.

I wondered if the car had been riffled through after being parked downtown behind the building. Stuff was on the front seat. Like a downtown hobo looking for cash. That would be problematic for him if he left hairs/dna during that. Would explain why they may have decided there may have been more than one perp (one later article alluded to that). Imagine the DNA they have matches the hobo more than the real killer! It was very strange to me that the doors and trunk were 'open' when found.

That’s a good point. If the car was left there between 3:30 am - 4 am and reported to LE around 10 am someone else may have gone into the car.
