Police put up billboard outside Ontario town in bid to crack homicide cold case


Police have put up a billboard outside an Ontario town in a bid to crack a now two-year-old homicide investigation.

Ontario Provincial Police said Monday that it installed the billboard on County Road 9 facing southwest at County Road 11, just west of Orangeville, as the anniversary of David Robson’s death arrives.

Robson, 65, was found dead on April 1, 2024, around Chinguacousy Road and King Street in the Town of Caledon. A post-mortem examination conducted a day later determined his cause of death was homicide.

Robson, a resident of Melancthon, Ont., had been reported missing on March 21 that year.

The billboard police have installed features a stock picture of the vehicle and Robson’s photo.

“We hope the billboard prompts anyone passing through the area to recall some information about David Robson or the location of his vehicle,” Det.-Insp. Mark Allison said.


“We want to understand what happened to David and provide the answers his loved ones have been waiting for over the past two years.”

Anyone with information is asked to contact police.
