The Sarnia Police Service (SPS) has issued a renewed public appeal for information related to an unsolved homicide that occurred in the city. Investigators are seeking any details that could help solve the killing of Robert Raymond, who was also known as "B.J.".
A Call for Community Assistance
In a statement released on December 28, 2025, police emphasized that the case remains active and that no piece of information is too small. The plea underscores the ongoing challenges investigators face when leads grow cold and public memory fades. Authorities are hoping that with the passage of time, individuals who may have been hesitant to speak initially might now be willing to come forward.
The Details of the Case
While the original news release did not specify the exact date or location of the homicide, it confirmed the victim's identity as Robert "B.J." Raymond. The Sarnia police have released a photograph of Raymond to the public as part of their appeal. The case is being treated as a homicide, and detectives are following all available lines of inquiry. The police have not disclosed a potential motive or identified any persons of interest in their public appeal.
The Impact and Next Steps
Unsolved homicides leave lasting scars on families and communities. The SPS's public plea is a standard but critical tactic used to generate new leads and demonstrate to the community that the case has not been forgotten. Investigators are likely re-examining evidence and witness statements in light of any new tips received.
Anyone with information regarding the death of Robert "B.J." Raymond is urged to contact the Sarnia Police Service or anonymously through Crime Stoppers. The police have assured the public that all tips will be treated with confidentiality.
