The Ontario Provincial Police are investigating after the remains of a missing man were discovered on a residential property in rural southeastern Ontario, months after the remains of two other men were found there.
Police announced Tuesday that remains discovered on a property on Kelly Jordan Road in Montague, a tiny township roughly 75 kilometres southwest of Ottawa, belong to Lawrence Bertrim, who was reported missing almost four years ago.
Mr. Bertrim was 42 when he was last seen in September, 2022, in downtown Smiths Falls, just a few kilometres away.
