A company who has assisted in finding 40 lacking folks since 2018, has its sights set on the Thames River close to Cavendish Park in London, Ont.
‘Please Bring Me Home’ (PBMH) government director Nick Oldrieve has come from Owen Sound to assist attempt to discover the stays of lacking girls Kathryn Bordato and Shelley Desrochers.
“The alleged perpetrator of Kathryn’s disappearance and likely murder had openly stated that he had dropped Kathryn off at this park,” stated Oldrieve.
“That was the last time she was seen. There’s no evidence of her whereabouts after that. We have reason to believe that this is where he had dumped Kathryn’s body somewhere in Cavendish Park and more likely down towards the river.”
Volunteers with PBMH labored the river searching for proof of stays, clothes or something that may very well be tied to Bordato (who went lacking in 2009) and Desrochers (lacking since 2016).

London police have said that Ronald Kevin Fangrad was relationship Bordato, a 44-year-old mom of two. They are saying she was final seen round Riverside Drive and Wharncliffe Highway.
Fangrad had ties to each girls who lived “high risk lifestyles” within the {sex} commerce.
“Ronald, he’s now deceased, and he was dating Kathryn at the time that she went missing,” stated Oldrieve.

“Shelley had last logged on to her social networks on his computer around the time she went missing. And that was the last evidence we have of her as well, so there is an obvious connection between the two. Is it just all coincidence? I really don’t think so. I think he more likely is, involved in both of their disappearances.”
Seven volunteers joined Oldrieve Saturday within the search which began below the bridge at Wharncliffe Rd. and Riverside drive.
Amongst them was Roberta Kilbourne.
“I’m the lead investigator because I’ve known Shelley since the age of 12,” stated Kilbourne. “I know Shelley and Kathryn personally because I worked for Children’s Aid Society at that time. Shelley used to hang out in this area, and Kathryn was last seen here supposedly.”
Kilbourne stated she was in touch with Desrochers by the years, and was devastated when she noticed the billboard of Shelley on Hamilton Highway in 2017.
“We’ve got to get them home,” stated Kilbourne. “I’ll never stop until we get them home.”
The groups {split} up on the north and south aspect of the Thames, usually speaking with wi-fi radios.

They’re hoping to have the identical outcome as earlier this yr after they discovered Eric Spencer in Georgian Bay after he was lacking for five-and-a-half years.
“The hope is that we locate human remains today that end up being Shelley or Kathryn,” stated Oldrieve.
“If we locate human remains, it’s somebody’s, so someone’s going to be able to go home. Even if we clear this riverside, that’s still progress for us. That means that we searched it and there was nothing here and it narrows down the locations but if we find them, it’s even better.”
