2. Unsolved murder suspect update

Niagara Regional Police have identified a suspect they believe is responsible for the death of a woman in 2019. The victim, 26-year-old Nadine Gurczenski from Toronto, was found partially dressed in a roadside ditch in Lincoln. The case had remained unsolved until recent advancements in DNA technology led to the identification of Joseph Archie “Raymond” Brousseau as the suspect. Brousseau, who died in 2017, would have been charged with second-degree murder if alive today. Nadine’s family expressed gratitude for the closure brought by the investigation. Deputy Chief Todd Waselovich thanked them for their patience and cooperation.

The Tragic Murder of Nadine Gurczenski

In a heartbreaking turn of events, the Niagara Regional Police have finally identified a suspect in the 2019 murder of 26-year-old Nadine Gurczenski. The incident took place on May 8th, 1999, when police responded to a distressing scene in Lincoln, where Nadine’s partially dressed body was found in a roadside ditch. The investigation revealed that she had been the victim of a heinous homicide.

Advancements in DNA Technology

For over two decades, the case remained unsolved, leaving Nadine’s family and the community in a state of uncertainty and grief. However, thanks to recent advancements in DNA technology, particularly the use of Investigative Genetic Genealogy, the NRPS’s Homicide Unit was able to make a breakthrough in the case. Through meticulous investigation techniques, they were able to identify Joseph Archie “Raymond” Brousseau as the prime suspect.

Uncovering the Truth

Joseph Brousseau, a former resident of New Liskeard, Ontario, was 34 years old at the time of the incident. Tragically, he passed away in 2017, preventing any formal charges from being laid. However, police assert that had he been alive today, he would have been arrested and charged with second-degree murder. Brousseau’s extensive travel as a truck driver throughout Canada and the United States, as well as his ties to Quebec, played a crucial role in the investigation.

A Family’s Grief

Nadine’s family, including her husband Paul, daughter Heather, son Nash, and the rest of her loved ones, have been living with the pain of her loss for over two decades. In response to the recent findings, they released a heartfelt statement, honouring Nadine’s memory and expressing gratitude for the closure brought by the police’s relentless efforts.

“Nadine was not just a news headline to us; she was a cherished member of our family. Her absence has left a void that can never be filled. We are immensely grateful to the Niagara Regional Police Services for their dedication to solving her case and bringing us the closure we have longed for. Nadine will always be remembered and cherished in our hearts.”

Closure and Gratitude

Niagara Regional Police Deputy Chief Todd Waselovich acknowledged the importance of closure for Nadine’s family and expressed gratitude for their patience and cooperation throughout the investigation. The use of new technologies and investigative techniques has not only solved a decades-old mystery but has also provided comfort to a grieving family.

As the community reflects on this tragic chapter in their history, they stand united in support of Nadine’s family and in appreciation of the diligent efforts of law enforcement. The memory of Nadine Gurczenski will forever live on as a reminder of the resilience and strength of those who seek justice.
