Police seek help in identifying remains
Woman, 18 to 40, lay in field for up to 25 years

Dec 14, 2006

CLARINGTON -- Human remains lay in a field near Bowmanville for anywhere between two and 25 years before being discovered, investigators have concluded.

Durham police are now calling on the public for information that will help to identify the woman, whose skeletal remains were found several weeks ago along with a few personal effects, including a digital watch.

So far, searches of dental records and missing persons reports from across Canada and the U.S. have provided no solid leads, Durham police said Thursday. It's believed the remains are that of a woman between 18 and 40; a cause of death has not been determined but police haven't ruled out foul play.

An investigation began on the morning of Oct. 27 when a man walking in the field, off the South Service Road at Holt Road, found the remains. Officers from 16 Division in Clarington initially responded, then called in homicide investigators.

The homicide unit, with the assistance of an anthropologist, determined the gender and approximate age of the remains.

Police secured the scene and spent several weeks on site, combing the area for clues. They found a woman's digital watch with the stainless steel strap and a length of red ribbon, photos of which have been released in hopes they might lead to identifying the woman.

Anyone with information is asked to call Detective Chuck Nash at 905-579-1520, extension 5402, or Crime stoppers at 1-800-222-8477.

Investigators Release Images Of Items Found With Human Remains
Friday December 15, 2006
The items may not seem like compelling clues, but Durham Police are hoping a digital watch and a piece of ribbon will help them identify a woman's remains discovered near Bowmanville.
Authorities made the grim find at Holt Road and South Service Road in late October. All investigators know right now is that the remains are female and that they were at that location for between two and 25 years.

The circumstances of this woman's death still aren't known, but cops haven't ruled out foul play.

Durham homicide detectives are trying to use dental records and missing persons reports from Canada and the United States to help them find out who this woman is, but until then, they're hoping the public will recognize images of items found with the remains.

One of them is a stainless steel digital watch (pictured). Authorities say it was made by the Omni Watch Company some time in the early 1980s.

A piece of red ribbon was also found.

If you recognize these clues or if you have any information that could help investigators, call the Homicide Unit at (905) 579-1520 or 1-888-579-1520 ext. 5402 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-TIPS.

Remains found near Darlington nuclear station in 2006

DURHAM -- Facial reconstruction images of a woman whose skull was found in Clarington have been released by the Durham Regional Police.

The skull was found by a citizen walking in a field near the South Service and Holt roads on Friday, Oct. 27, 2006. The area is near the entrance to the Darlington nuclear station.

The remains were taken to the coroner's building in Toronto. A month-long search of the area was conducted by Durham police, the OPP and a forensic anthropologist. Items found on the site included a woman's digital watch, a 1980 Canadian penny, a piece of red ribbon and a small, red heart-shaped object.

The deceased is a female, Caucasian, between 18 and 30 years of age. Investigators haven't been able to identify her.

"It's one of those cases, it never ends," said Durham police spokesman Dave Selby. "We were able to get the specialized skills of the arts. It's an ongoing effort to find out who this woman is."

The information was uploaded onto various public websites, including the OPP Project Resolve, the Doe Network and Ontario's Missing Adults. To date, no identification has been made.

A forensic artist recently completed a three-dimensional clay facial image of the woman. A computer-generated digital reconstruction was also completed.

Anyone with information on the woman's identity is asked to call Project RESOLVE at 1-877-934-6363 or visit the website www.missing-u.ca.

People can also call Detective Chuck Nash of the Durham Regional Police at 905-579-1520, ext. 5402, or at the Durham Regional Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477.

this says the remains were found on November 25, 2006, but it is the same story................

new photo
A woman’s skull found in a remote field in Clarington close to Hwy. 401 more than four years ago now has a face.

Durham regional police homicide investigators have released a forensic sketch of the victim in hopes of cracking a cold case that started on November 25, 2006 when officers found human remains in the South Service Rd. and Holt Rd. area, near Darlington Nuclear Station.

“The skull doesn’t lie,” said forensic artist Diana Trepkkov, in a statement. “Especially when it comes to the teeth and the eyes. Many people are recognized from these features.”

Photos of items found near the remains including an OMNI digital watch and a gold ring — which is believed to be from a jeweller in Oshawa — have been made public.

Police believe the woman was between 18 and 30 when she died.

“Our team is determined to identify this woman; she deserved to be reunited with her family and they deserve closure,” said Homicide Det. Chuck Nash.

Anyone with information is urged to contact Det. Nash at 1-888-579-1520 ext. 5402 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-TIPS (8477).

Durham police uncover more evidence in cold case

CLARINGTON, Ont. - Durham Regional Police detectives are hoping new clues will help them solve a cold case.

Investigators are trying to identify female human remains that were discovered in a field near the Darlington nuclear plant in Clarington, Ont., in 2006.

At a police news conference Tuesday, detectives detailed new evidence in the case, which includes a lady's gold ring, size nine-and-a-half.

"We can't put a timestamp on when it was exactly manufactured, other than the fact that it was sold through Burns Jewellers, which is a family-run business in Oshawa, and that ran between 1923 and 1994," lead investigator Durham police Det. Chuck Nash told reporters.

A multi-coloured shirt, possibly from Tip-Top Tailors, was also found.

Investigators have also been able to create a DNA profile, but no matches are in the system.

It's believed the woman is Caucasian between 18 to 30 years of age.

"The skull exhibits signs of a well-healed nasal fracture that was either extremely well-set by a doctor or as the result of rhinoplasty. You know, this person certainly did take care of [herself]," Det. Nash said.

He said the body may have been dumped, given the secluded area where the remains were found, and the remains may have been here two and 10 years, or even longer.

Investigators have searched almost 20 acres near Highway 401 and Holt Road.

This case has haunted Durham police. Det. Nash told 680News they want to solve it because this woman was someone's daughter, sister, wife or mother.

Anyone with any information about the possible identity of this woman is being asked to contact Det. Nash at 1-888-579-1520 (ext. 5402) or call the OPP's Project RESOLVE at 1-877-934-6363, or visit the website www.missing-u.ca.
