London Police are letting the public know they’re still hoping for help as they search for two missing women.
Kathryn Bordato was reported missing in 2010. Shelley Desrochers hasn’t been seen since 2016.
Police say there’s been no sightings of either woman since they disappeared. However, there’s also been no evidence that would indicate that either is still alive.
“Generally speaking, the absence of a body or information which may assist in determining potential manner and cause of death poses significant challenges in these types of investigations. Although, the absence of any sightings or contact with friends or family would indicate that the missing person is no longer alive, there is often no evidence of how the person died. That absence of evidence requires investigators to consider all possibilities,” London police said in a media release sent out on Monday.
A person who was linked to both Bordato and Desrochers has recently died, police say. They did not identify the individual in question, but said “significant resources and various investigative techniques were used over a long period of time to obtain whatever further information this individual had in relation to the disappearances. During this period of time, this person was monitored closely to ensure public safety.”
Bordato was last seen in the Cavendish Park area in the summer of 2009.
At the time she went missing, she was described as White, with long brown hair and brown eyes; approximately 5’4” and weighing approximately 140 pounds. She was further described as sometimes walking with a limp, and as having a tattoo of the female symbol on her left hand between her thumb and index finger. She had also used the names Kathy, Pat, Kat, Katie, Katie Stewart, Laura Bordato, and Lauren Stewart.
Desrochers was reported missing to police on the afternoon of January 21st 2016. She was last seen in the area of Lorne Avenue and English Street on January about three weeks earlier.
She was described as White, 5’ 2” and 130 pounds with hazel eyes and long brown hair. Police also said she was “described as having a distinctive walking style, described as being “pigeon-toed,” and various visible tattoos including a rose, a heart and a bluebird.”
Anyone with information on either of these cases, no matter how small that piece of information might be, has been asked to call London Police 519-661-5670 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-TIPS (8477). Information can also be sent in online anonymously to London Elgin Middlesex Crime Stoppers.
