Investigation into the murder of Sonia Varaschin continues

It has been 11 years since the brutal murder of Sonia VARASCHIN and investigators believe someone has a key piece of information that could lead to the killer.

On Monday, August 30, 2010, officers from the former Orangeville Police Service began an investigation after the 42-year-old woman's white Toyota Corolla was found abandoned behind a business on Broadway in downtown Orangeville. On the same day, Orangeville Police requested assistance from the Ontario Provincial Police (OPP). On September 5, 2010 Sonia VARASHIN's remains were found in a wooded area just off of Beechgrove Side Road.

The murder investigation remains active under the direction of the OPP Criminal Investigation Branch.
