Human remains that were found inside a basement apartment in Oshawa
last week belong to an 18-year-old woman whose torso was found
floating in Oshawa Harbour in September, police say.
In a news release issued on Friday, police said that a post-mortem
examination has confirmed that the remains discovered in a residence
on McMillan Drive on Dec. 29 belong to Rori Hache.
Hache’s torso was previously found floating in the Oshawa lakefront on
the night of Sep. 11. Hache was reported missing by her family on Aug.
29. Police were able to identify the torso through DNA.
Following the identification of the torso in November, Hache’s
godmother Krysia Meeldyk described the 18-year-old “beautiful,
vivacious and smart” in an interview with CTV News Toronto.
“It didn’t matter – nothing fazed her and if you had something to say
you had to go into another room just to make sure she didn’t hear you
because she just swallowed information,” Meeldyk said at the time.
Police also located explosive device
Police were called to the address on McMillan Drive at around 8:30
p.m. on Dec. 29 after a citizen completing some work at the property
located something suspicious and contacted authorities.
In addition to the remains, police also located a “suspicious package”
inside the home which they now say was an explosive device.
Police arrested 45-year-old Adam Jeffrey Strong, who is believed to be
tenant of the home, at the time. He is charged with one count of
improper/ indecent interference with a dead body.
It is not clear what relationship, if any, exists between Strong and
Hache.
Hache’s uncle, who is a member of Oshawa’s Hell’s Angels, said his
18-year-old niece was pregnant at the time of her death in a Facebook
post published on Friday.
“So this is the weirdo Adam Strong that was arrested with possession
of the missing parts of my 18-year-old pregnant niece, Rori Hache,”
the online post said.
“Would have wished to be able to get to him before the police but
clearly he’s about to have a tough go for the rest of his life which
is nearly as satisfying [sic].”
Investigators will have to find a clear link between the suspect and
victim before any further charges can be laid, former homicide
detective and CP24 crime specialist said.
“Because this happened so quickly – the police unexpectedly came
across those remains,” Ryan said. “Once they were identified as that
of Rori, they only charges they could lay at that time was the
indignity of interference to a dead body because that’s all they had.”
“Now they need to work on establishing some sort of relationship or
connection between the deceased and the accused, and they’ll do that
through interviews, through phone record, banking records.”
Ryan added that even though the remains were found in one’s residence
that doesn’t neceassrily mean that that person is the killer.
In the release issued Friday, police said that the investigation into
Hache’s death continues.
“There is the one charge right now and investigators advise me that
right now these are the appropriate charges based on the evidence and
the information they have collected thus far,” Const. George Tudos
told CP24 on Friday afternoon. “I know the homicide investigators have
extended the warrant for that residence for a 30-day period and our
investigators advise that they will be there for a minimum of 30 days
collecting evidence. Hopefully that will conclude with some sort of
homicide charges.”
