Provincial police in Wellington County have released new images of cars they are looking to identify in connection with the abduction and death of a Kitchener man more than four years ago.

Police said they were called to a home on Jessie Street in Harriston, Ont., on March 12, 2019 after Jason John Brown was reported missing.

A day later, OPP were contacted by Durham regional police with the news that Brown’s body was located on the side of the road near Stevenson Road North and Raglan Road West in Oshawa.

The death of the 43-year-old Brown was then declared to be a homicide.
