Six years after Sonia Varaschin was killed, Ontario provincial police believe someone knows what happened, and are asking them again to come forward.
“This crime not only impacted the town of Orangeville, but the surrounding area as well,” OPP Sgt. Peter Leon said Tuesday.
“To date we have investigated well over 1,000 tips. Detectives believe that someone has the information that can help identify the killer or killers. Now is the time to call whether you have lived with the information for the past six years or just may have learned about it recently.”

Varaschin, 42, was reported missing on Aug. 30, 2010, after she failed to show up at work. Her blood-stained car was found in an alley the same day. Police also found blood inside and outside her home in Orangeville, Ont., about an hour northwest of Toronto.
A few days later remains discovered in a wooded area in Caledon, about 12 kilometres from Orangeville, were confirmed as Varaschin’s.
The case drew national attention as investigators revealed the culprit likely left Varaschin’s home covered in a significant amount of blood and used Varaschin’s car to move the nurse’s body to the wooded area where it was found.
“It is an active and ongoing investigation,” Leon said.
Anyone with information is asked to contact police, he said.
