December 2015
As an organization, the Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) takes all information received and investigations involving possible homicide and
disappearances very seriously, regardless of gender, heritage or ethnicity.
Members of the OPP Criminal Investigation Branch (CIB) and the Missing Persons and Unidentified Bodies Unit (MPUB) continuously review
outstanding OPP investigations to see if there are any possible connections with missing or unaccounted for persons, unidentified remains,
and deceased persons identified by the Office of the Chief Coroner for Ontario or any law enforcement agency, including DNA evidence if
available.
The OPP never closes homicide or missing person investigations unless they have been resolved. All leads and tips are followed up as
appropriate. If new information is received regarding an unsolved homicide, it will be assessed by the Major Case Manager.
All police services -- including the OPP -- have a number of powerful tools available to investigate possible links in criminal cases, including
the National Sex Offender Registry (NSOR), the Ontario Sex Offender Registry (OSOR), the Canadian Police Information Centre (CPIC), and
the Violent Crime Linkage Analysis System (ViCLAS).
The pages that follow provide an overview and some insight regarding the investigations of missing and unsolved murdered Indigenous
people in OPP jurisdiction between 1956 and the end of 2014.

D E F I N I T I O N O F O P P JURIS D ICTIO N
Definition of OPP Jurisdiction: Policing responsibility in Ontario is shared by the OPP, 52 municipal / regional police services and nine (9) selfdirected First Nation police services. The geographic areas under direct OPP policing consists of 324 municipalities, some of which have
transitioned to the OPP in recent years, and 19 First Nation communities.
The 52 jurisdictions that are not policed by the OPP are independent or regional municipalities within the Province of Ontario that receive
policing services under terms of the Police Services Act (PSA). These are self-funded, stand-alone municipal or regional police services
covering their respective geographic boundaries.
In addition, the OPP is legislated under the Police Services Act (PSA) to provide assistance to other policing jurisdictions, when requested.

TH E O N TA R I O P R OVIN CIAL PO LICE PE RSP ECTI VE
In consultation with the Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) Aboriginal Policing Bureau (APB), it was determined that members of the Criminal
Investigation Branch (CIB) and Missing Persons Unidentified Bodies Unit (MPUB) would undertake a historical review of their respective
case files during the period 1956 to 2014 and compile a list.
Since 2010, the analysis of data from a variety of law enforcement sources in Ontario led to a compilation of information relating to cases
of homicide, new and historical, and reports of missing Indigenous females and males in OPP jurisdiction.
• Between 1957 and 2014, there were eight (8) missing Indigenous females reported to the OPP who remain missing.
• Presently, there are 40 cases that involve missing Indigenous males, since 1956.
• For the period of 1964 to December 2014, inclusive, in OPP jurisdiction:
• There were 54 homicides involving Indigenous females
• Eight of which remain unsolved for a clearance rate of 85.2 percent.
• For the period of 1978 to December 2014, inclusive, in OPP jurisdiction:
• There were 126 homicides of Indigenous males
• One of which remains unsolved for a clearance rate of 99.2 percent.
• From January 1, 2010, to December 31, 2014, inclusive, the OPP CIB overall homicide clearance rate was 92.3 percent (155
homicides, 12 unsolved).
This publication includes those identified as Indigenous persons. There may be additional persons who are missing or murdered that should
be included but their family and/or loved one have not identified them to the OPP as Indigenous.
