This investigation has continued to expand and has involved extensive searches at multiple locations, including a large wooded area in Barrie bordered by Victoria Street, John Street, and Anne Street South; a rural property on Yearly Road near Cardwell Lake Road in Huntsville; and a residence in North Simcoe County.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The searches have led investigators to recover evidence, including suspected human remains which have been transported to the Centre of Forensic Sciences located in Toronto.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Much of the detailed forensic examination of outdoor properties in recent weeks occurred after the primary suspect in this ongoing investigation was identified and arrested in Midland, Ontario, on August 2nd.

He has not yet appeared for a bail hearing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the days following the arrest of the accused, the investigation has continued to progress. Information obtained and confirmed through witness interviews has identified Robert Ladouceur as the individual responsible for the deaths and dismemberment of a 45-year-old William \u2018Blake\u2019 Robinson and a 41-year-old David Cheesequay.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
