(SMITHS FALLS, ON) � The Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) will maintain a presence at a residential property in Montague Township, near Smiths Falls, as part of an ongoing homicide investigation. However, search efforts at the site will be temporarily paused until spring.
On Thursday, October 30, 2025, OPP officers executing a search warrant at a residence on Kelly Jordan Road located the remains of Robbie THOMSON, a Smiths Falls resident who was 34 years old when he was reported missing in October 2023. Three people charged with first degree murder in connection with this investigation remain in custody.
With the ground beginning to freeze, continuing the detailed and thorough search of the 40-acre property has become challenging. Investigators remain committed to the investigation and will continue to actively pursue any new leads or information received during this period.
The Lanark County OPP, in collaboration with the Smiths Falls Police Service, continues to investigate under the direction of the OPP Criminal Investigation Branch, in conjunction with the Office of the Chief Coroner and the Ontario Forensic Pathology Service. Assistance is being provided by the OPP Forensic Identification Services.
Residents of Kelly Jordan Road will continue to see a police presence at the property throughout the winter. Various measures are in place to monitor the site.
If you have any information that could assist investigators, please call the dedicated tipline at 1-855-677-4636. Should you wish to remain anonymous, contact Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477 (TIPS) or ontariocrimestoppers.ca.
