In Toronto, on a spring evening in 2003, ten year old Holly Jones walked her friend home after they had a playdate at her house. Holly spoke with her friend’s mother before heading back to her family home, which was in the same neighbourhood, but she didn’t make it there. This was completely out of character for Holly and her family was frantic. Her disappearance, which happened in broad daylight, led to the issuing of Ontario’s first amber alert. News stations, billboards and radios around the province spoke of the missing girl and a massive search began. Hundreds of community members and investigators began helping in the search to find Holly, and eventually to find the man that Holly’s mother refers to as “The monster”.

The case of the murder of Holly Jones will be live in the coming days. It is a truly heartbreaking story that involves a loving family, a dedicated police force and a community coming together.
