They suspects are known to hitchhike. They are believed to have a large brown dog with them, and be carrying backpacks.

He said a York Regional Police search led them to Parsi’s body in the apartment, and said the building management has been very cooperative with the investigation.

Mahoney added investigators have had outstanding cooperation from other police departments and from media. He said there have been reported sightings in northern and eastern Ontario, but nothing yet verified.
