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.

His vehicle, a 2017 black Kia Sportage with Ontario licence plate DAMZ 252, has never been found.
“Investigators are urging anyone with information about the whereabouts of the vehicle to contact police to support the ongoing investigation,” police said in the release.
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.
