Today (Aug. 30) marks 28 years since the discovery of Sonya Cywink’s body at the Southwold Earthworks, near Iona.
Cywink was living in the east end of London at the time of her death and was last seen alive near the intersection of Dundas and Lyle streets on August 26, 1994.
Her family continues to work with Elgin OPP and Crime Stoppers to install billboards in various locations appealing for information in an effort to help investigators solve her homicide. And is offering an additional $10,000 to an existing $50,000 reward for information leading to the arrest and conviction of the person(s) responsible for her homicide.
A billboard has been installed in east London, near where Sonya was last seen alive. A second billboard will be erected at a later date at a location to be determined.
