Missing North York Woman Found Murdered In Car

It’s the tragic end nobody wanted, but everyone feared.

Connie Valencia-Russo was supposed to pick up her 14-year-old son on Tuesday morning, but she never showed up and on Thursday the 44-year-old single mom – who hadn’t been seen or heard from since – was found stabbed to death inside the trunk of her car.

Investigators haven’t said how it got there, but the 2009 Toyota Corolla was located in an apartment complex parking lot near Jane and Sheppard around 6:30pm.

Detectives had previously called Valencia-Russo’s disappearance completely out of character, sparking fears that she met with foul play.

There’s no word yet on suspects or a potential motive. Valencia-Russo is Toronto’s 27th homicide victim of 2009.

Call Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-TIPS if you can help police.
