Police have made another breakthrough in a 41-year-old murder investigation with local ties. Using facial reconstruction technology police in 2006 released busts of the remains of two men found naked and bound in rural areas in the late 1960s. One of the bodies was found in a farmer’s field on the 17th Sideroad near the 3rd Line of New Tecumseth. Relatives of a young man, who had been missing since the late 1960s, recognized the bust and called police. Now relatives of the second victim have come forward and that body too has been positively identified. The first breakthrough came late in 2006, shortly after the release of the busts. Family members of a teen, who had been missing since 1967 provided DNA samples, and the remains found near Schomberg were positively identified as belonging to Richard Hovey. Police believed Hovey’s murder was connected to another unsolved homocide near Coboconk, Ontario. The identity of the second victim was  announced yesterday. It belongs to Eric Jones, who was also reported missing from Toronto in 1967. The body was discovered by a hunter in Balsam Lake Provincial Park later that year. "It’s huge. Now that we have the victim (Jones) we can now start filling in the blanks," said OPP Sgt. Pierre Chamberland. Police originally linked the two murders because of the similarities of the crime scenes. Both bodies were found naked, with bound wrists. Hovey’s body was found with his wrists tied together by a shoelace. When Jones’ body was found, there was a three-metre length of twine tied in a noose near his wrists. Along with the similar nature of the deaths, Hovey and Jones are also connected by similar circumstances – both were living in downtown Toronto at the times of their disappearances. Hovey, who was about 17 at the time of his disappearance, had moved to Toronto from Fredericton, N.B. to pursue a music career, police said. He was last seen getting into a Chevrolet Corvair with a muscular black man. Police are now hopeful that people who knew Jones will come forward with more information about him. Police also say the murders could be linked to a similar one in Markham in the late 1970s. The bones of a man were found in a wooded area there in 1980. The body, which was found with clothes nearby, was believed to have been there for a couple of years. The remains of that man are still unidentified. Police say the three murders are similar to two solved cases from 1967. That summer, two young men were picked up in downtown Toronto, and taken to rural areas where they were attacked, police said. One man was found dead, while another was still alive when he was found in a field near Barrie. James Henry Greenidge was convicted for manslaughter and attempted murder in those cases. After serving about 10 years in prison, he was released. He moved to western Canada, where he was later convicted in the rape and murder of a woman there. He is currently serving a life-sentence for those crimes, but is now eligible for parole. Police have called Greenidge "a person of interest," in the Hovey-Jones murders. "He was an active sexual predator in 1967 that lived in downtown Toronto," said Chamberland. Anyone who has any information about the victims or the case is asked to call police at 1-888-310-1122. -With files from Metroland North Media and Torstar
