OPP say Sunday will mark 40 years since the body of homicide victim Deborah Silverman was found in Sunderland in Durham Region.
A $50,000 reward continues to be offered for information leading to an arrest and conviction of those responsible for the death of Silverman, OPP say.
Police say Silverman, 21, spent an evening socializing with a group of co-workers in Toronto on Friday, Aug. 11, 1978. She was last seen in the early morning hours of Aug. 12.
