Here is an update on all the remains found in Ontario. :0
1) Body remains encased in concrete found in the Toronto Harbour in a metal barrel
Who?
Quang Lu, a 47-year-old man, also goes by the name Black Ghost. He lived in Thornhill and travelled to China frequently. Upon returning from one of his journey’s on October.26,2007, he was spotted one last time by a family friend and then vanished.
What? Why?
Detective Hank Idsinga of the Toronto Police Homicide Squad say’s he had ties to Asian organized crime and was reportedly the largest loan shark in and around the Niagara Falls casino. He lived a very “high risk lifestyle.” “When the casinos opened, the sharks moved from Chinatown to the casinos, and Lu made millions this way. They wanted him dead 20 years ago!” a source said.
Where? When?
Police divers found the 45-gallon barrel- encrusted in cement- early Sunday morning (may 23, 2010) , and fished it out at 1.pm near the foot of Jarvis Street, in the midst of one of the city's most popular destinations on Lake Ontario. Investigators said the body was retrieved from about seven metres of water close to shore just off the construction site for Canada's Sugar Beach.
How?
Toronto Police are tight-lipped concerning the tip that led the Marine Unit and homicide detectives to 125 Queen’s Quay East to locate a body placed in Lake Ontario this morning.Vander Heyden told reporters he’d received a tip early in the morning. “It’s my belief that there’s a victim of a murder encased in concrete within that barrel.”
2)Body remains found in Oro-Medonte Township, Simcoe County and in Lake of Bays near Huntsville.
Who?
Human remains found in two communities north of Toronto belong to the same man. The discoveries were made hours apart by two different people out for a walk. There is more than 100 kilometres between the two locations.
“We don’t have any confirmed identification,” he added. “We are certainly cross referencing with a lot of police services in southern and central Ontario.”
Where? When?
The OPP said one part of the victim's body was found in Oro-Medonte Township, early Saturday morning. On Saturday afternoon, another part of the man's body was found more than 130 kilometres away in Lake of Bays Township.
The first discovery in Oro-Medonte Township was made by an area resident while walking just after 8 a.m on a partially developed portion of a subdivision. “The human remains were actually left on the side of the road,” said Leon. “There was no attempt to hide them. I think they were left there to be found.”
Later that day, at around 4:30 p.m., another person walking in Lake of Bays Township made the second discovery in the ditch.
“We don’t have any confirmed identification,” he added. “We are certainly cross referencing with a lot of police services in southern and central Ontario.”
Hope everything gets cleared up soon. It weird though how both incidents happened around the long weekend....shriek!!!!
