August 29, 2013 · 0 Comments

Police are hoping a $50,000 reward will help them solve the three-year-old mystery of the murder of Sonia Varaschin.
Ms. Varaschin, 42, had been reported missing by her family Aug. 30, 2010 after she failed to show up for work. Her blood-stained Toyota Corolla was located in an alley behind Orangeville Town Hall near Alexandria Park and blood was also found at her Spring Street residence.
The body of the Orangeville nurse was found about a week later (Sept. 5) when a citizen walking her dog chanced on the remains in a wooded area off Beech Grove Sideroad in Caledon.
For the past three years, detectives from both the OPP and Orangeville Police Service (OPS) have been actively working to identify the person or persons responsible for the murder, and OPP has announced that a $50,000 reward is being offered for information leading to an arrest and conviction.
“The OPP and the OPS are as actively engaged in this investigation, and we are as committed to finding Sonia Varaschin’s killer today as we were when it began in 2010,” said OPP Detective Inspector Tracey Dobbin. “We are determined to bring justice to Sonia and her family”
“We are confident that offering this reward may rekindle someone’s memory regarding this case to come forward with a crucial piece of information that will make that difference,” she added. “No tip is too trivial no matter how small or insignificant you may think it is. You could hold the key that makes the difference.”
Investigators are asking anyone with information to contact the OPS Tip Line at (519) 941-2522, or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477.
