Ontario Provincial Police say they arrested and charged a suspect in a homicide cold case investigation. 

Police say officers responded to a report about a deceased person in the area of Chinguacousy Road and King Street in Caledon on April 1, 2024. 

OPP says 65-year-old David Robson, who was last seen in Melancthon on March 21 of that year, was reported missing along with his vehicle four days later.

Police say the cause of the death was determined to be a homicide after a post-mortem examination was conducted. 

Investigators say the 29-year-old suspect arrested Tuesday is facing several charges that include first-degree murder, arson and indignity to body. 

The accused individual remains in custody and is expected to appear before a court Wednesday. 

This report by The Canadian Press was first published April 28, 2026.
