Murder warrant IS issued after silo remains identified A Canada-wide arrest warrant has been issued for a suspected murderer after the discovery of human remains in a silo near here.

Police revealed last week they had carried out the dig at the silo -- it went on for a couple of "Weeks, and investigators were extremely tight- lipped about the operation -- as part of a missing person investigation. Gerald Leveille, 40, of Val Caron, Ont., was last seen about Feb. 21 of 1995. Police said his vehicle was found abandoned at the Jane-Finch Mall in Toronto in March of last year. The investigation led Sudbury police to the Oshawa area, where they finally pin-pointed the abandoned silo. Police spent days on the scene, thawing the frozen earth at the base of the silo and removing it by wheelbarrow. Eventually, police announced they had found human remains. They announced Thursday morning (March 28) that the remains had been identified as those of Mr. Leveille. ined emu farming in the - New Business Set Up area. d k LETTE RS ACCOUNTING - Training on accounting systems The Star also received For er-Par S - Part time controllership | Honorable Mention in the Insurance Brokers Inc.
