The Ontario Provincial Police are appealing for fresh information on the slaying of a 65-year-old man nearly two years after he was found dead just outside of Brampton.

To that end, the OPP’s Caledon Detachment has posted a billboard outside of Orangeville with a picture of David Robson, who was reported missing from Melancthon Township on March 21, 2024.
The billboard posted near the intersection of Dufferin Country Rd. 109 and Dufferin County Rd. 11, west of Orangeville, also includes a picture of Robson’s vehicle, a black 2017 Kia Sportage SUV, which has not been located since he went missing.
“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 in a news release issued Monday by the OPP.
“We want to understand what happened to David and provide the answers his loved ones have been waiting for over the past two years.”
Robson’s vehicle was never found: OPP
The renewed appeal for information came almost two years to the day that Robson’s body was found on April 1, 2024, in the Chinguacousy Rd.-King St. area of Caledon, which is just a few kilometres northwest of Brampton.
Police said a post-mortem examination conducted the next day determined that Robson’s death was the result of a homicide, which is being probed by the Dufferin OPP crime unit under the direction of the OPP’s criminal investigation branch.
The OPP said at the time that they did not believe there was a risk to the public’s safety as they did not consider Robson’s death to be a random incident.
Police said Robson’s vehicle had the Ontario licence plate number DAMZ 252 and they urged anyone with information about the vehicle to contact them at 1-888-310-1122 or Crime Stoppers anonymously at 1-800-222-8477 or ontariocrimestoppers.ca .
