New call for clues in torso case
ST. CATHARINES, Ont. -- Police in Ontario and New York state are renewing a joint plea for the public's assistance after a woman's torso was found floating in the Niagara River last week.
Niagara police Insp. Jim McCaffery says investigators are reviewing 50 local missing-person cases but none so far have matched the description of the dismembered victim.
"We ask that you contact female family members that you have not heard from recently," said McCaffery during a news conference Tuesday .
"Contact co-workers who have not shown up to work to check on their welfare and check on neighbours with unexplained absences," McCaffery said.
