Search for a Killer
The city is still reeling from the tragic murder of 10-year-old Holly Jones. But officers and investigators can’t stop to recuperate from the horror – they have work to do.
Toronto police divers headed back into the water Wednesday morning to search for more evidence in the killing.
The young child’s remains were located in two spots on Tuesday morning – first at Ward’s Island and later near the Exhibition grounds. Police say they’re putting all they have into finding her killer. “We'll be going out to the areas where we discovered the packages from yesterday and we'll be expanding our searches from there,†explained P.C. Angus Armstrong. “We're putting dive team members in the water today and basically searching those areas, expanding out from there. Along with that, we'll be putting a tremendous amount of boats out in the water and again do lots of surface searching, shoreline search. We'll cover the whole area.â€
Two gym bags held Holly's remains. One was a black Lynx gym bag, the other was a carry-on luggage suitcase with a gray decal on it that says Cherokee.
The last time Holly was seen alive was at 6:30pm Monday near her home on Sterling Avenue.
It’s a normally quiet street, but now the silence is deafening. A hush has fallen over the block where 10-year-old Holly Jones lived, played, grew up and was finally taken away forever. Friends and neighbours in the Perth Avenue and Bloor St. area had followed the terrible search all day. And the final revelation that the youngster was dead was almost too much for them to bear.
The look of hope that many tried to keep up during the long hours quickly turned to despair as the reality sank in. When the announcement they most dreaded was finally confirmed, the doors of their houses opened, and people streamed out as fast as their tears, unable to hide their shock and sadness. “I didn't get to say bye or anything and give her a hug, nothing,†said heartbroken friend Michelle.
Grieving residents hugged each other for support, trying to conceive how their neighbourhood could be visited by such evil. One thing is for certain though, parents in the area will be keeping a close watch on their children. “Always take them to school, never let them walk alone, never even let them go to the store. It's not safe. You don't know who is watching and what they are thinking,†warned neighbour Nazreen Moursalien.
As for Holly’s family, they arrived back at their now empty home Tuesday night, after hearing the worst possible news from police. They’re in seclusion as they try to cope with a tragedy beyond comprehension.
