In cities and towns across Ontario — and at Queen’s Park and Parliament Hill — our journalists work for you. Their mission is to dig for answers and tell you what they find.
This new feature — ‘Closer Look’ — is a chance to hear directly from those dedicated reporters and editors.
Every night, Village Media’s Scott Sexsmith sits down with one of our journalists to explore an important story they are covering. These in-depth conversations go beyond the headlines, helping viewers better understand how we gather the details that land in your local news feed.
On tonight’s episode of ‘Closer Look’: a hit-and-run mystery in Northern Ontario.
On Nov. 7, 2023, a 21-year-old woman named Loni Chum was found dead on a street in Moose Factory, a remote island community 320 km northeast of Timmins. More than a year later, her tragic death remains unsolved.
“Loni’s killer is still walking among us in this small community,” her father, Robert Chum, said in a recent interview with TimminsToday. “It's like a story in a movie that hasn't ended yet.”
Police believe Loni was struck by a pickup truck and left for dead, but no suspects have been identified. The reward for any information leading her killer’s arrest now stands at $100,000.
TimminsToday reporter Marissa Lentz-McGrath brings us up to date on the latest developments in the investigation. You can read her previous coverage HERE and HERE.
