Police confirm identity of remains in Barrie double homicide linked to Sonia Varaschin case Investigators have identified human remains found in Barrie as the missing 2010 victim Sonia Varaschin, confirming the long‑unsolved case. The case remains active, with detectives urging new tips. Provincial police say the 2010 death of a woman in Caledon remains a top priority for investigators, even 16 years later. In the original investigation, police found Sonia Varaschin's car in Orangeville and discovered blood stains in it. The victim was later found wrapped in bedsheets and dumped in a wooded area near Beech Grove Sideroad in Caledon, about 13 kilometres from her home. On Wednesday, Sept. 8, 2010 relatives and friends gathered at the family home in Bolton, Ontario, to mourn. Nearly a decade and a half later, the case remains active.Detective Inspector Shawn Glassford, OPP Criminal Investigation Branch, told CTV News that investigators continue to work the case as new tips from the public keep coming in. Glassford said the investigation is not limited to a single suspect and that investigators are open to the possibility of multiple parties being involved."We're not putting on blinders. When we find out what happened, we'll know exactly who was involved or how many people were involved," he explained. A long‑term memory loss challenge remains, as people who once had information may now have forgotten or be reluctant to share."The people that have information that they've held onto must be heavy on their chest, and we want those people to come forward," Glassford said. A $50,000 reward was announced years ago for any new information leading to an arrest and conviction, but many tips received over the years have not yielded new evidence. Despite the slow progress, the investigation still contains a handful of unidentified DNA profiles that modern technology might help resolve.Glassford stated he remains in regular communication with Sonia's mother and urges residents to contact police or Crime Stoppers with any information. In a development that confirms the victim's identity, human remains discovered last month in Barrie, Ontario, were identified as Sonia Varaschin. The remains were found as part of a double homicide investigation in the region, and forensic analysis confirmed the victim's identity.This finding brings a long‑awaited closure to the case, confirming the long‑standing suspicion that Sonia's death was targeted. Police have said the case still is under active investigation. Anyone with information is encouraged to reach out to the OPP or Crime Stoppers to help bring closure to Sonia Varaschin's family. The case serves as a reminder that even years after a crime, forensic science and persistent investigative work can ultimately shed light on the truth.The OPP remains committed to pursuing every lead and will continue to review new evidence as it emerges. With the victim's identity now confirmed, the inquiry continues to focus on uncovering the full story behind the murder and bringing those responsible to justice. The OPP's ongoing efforts, combined with community cooperation, are key to solving this long‑cold case.
