Cold Case - Peterborough Police Service - Otonabee River Man (1988)
Advanced DNA testing technology helps Peterborough Police Service identify human remains found in Otonabee River in 1988
Peterborough, ON - Wednesday, December 11, 2024
On July 10th, 1988, recreational divers located a human skull in the Otonabee River, near Lock and McKellar Street, approximately 130 feet from the shore. When the skull was found a postmortem examination was conducted, which revealed it belonged to a male and that he was the victim of homicide. Extensive air and underwater searches were conducted; however, the remainder of the body has never been recovered.
As a result of advanced DNA testing technology, the human remains have been identified as Gerald Durocher. Durocher was born in November 1949 and at the time of his death would have been 38 years old.
In October 2021, the Peterborough Police Service submitted evidence to Othram in The Woodlands, Texas and the Ontario Forensic Pathology Service, in hopes that advanced DNA testing and forensic genetic genealogy could help generate new leads and assist with identifying the ‘Otonabee River Man’.
Othram scientists used Forensic-Grade Genome Sequencing to build a comprehensive DNA profile, which was then used by Othram’s genealogy team, in conjunction with forensic genetic genealogy to identify potential relatives. The Peterborough Police Service then used this information to locate and interview these individuals. It was through this process, as well as subsequent confirmatory DNA testing by the Ontario Forensic Pathology Service that led to the positive identification of the victim.
This case has never been forgotten and over the last three decades various methods were used in an attempt to identify the remains.
The Peterborough Police Service is currently pursuing all avenues to continue to further this investigation. It is believed that Durocher had connections throughout the Province of Ontario, including Ottawa, as well as the Quesnel area in central British Columbia.
Investigators are encouraging anyone with information pertaining to Durocher, or his death to come forward, noting that sometimes even the small details can play a large part in solving a case.
Anyone with information is asked to call Detective Constable Lacey White at 705-876-1122 ext. 266, the Peterborough Police Service Crime Line at 705-876-1122 x555 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-TIPS or www.stopcrimehere.ca
Peterborough-Northumberland Crime Stoppers has generously offered a $5000 reward for any information that leads to an arrest in this case.

Remember that far back!!! 🙋♀️ 😮😮😮😮😮 Damn I'm old
👏👏👏👏 .... Condolences to family & friends. R.I P. Praying the tips fall into officers' laps.
I don’t understand the difficulties here. You have his family, that you claim is cooperating. Did he or others close to him have any contacts with police? Having very long head hair, mustache with beard and dress is very telling in itself. Was he a smoker, do streets drugs or alcohol? Sounds like LE is holding back here.
You probably don’t understand much of anything, judging by your asinine comment.🇨🇦
@ I was in law enforcement, you weren’t. Idiot! 🇺🇸
It's time for the government to start paying this DNA company and getting more cases solved.
How did they know he was dead ?
This is diligent hard work by the detectives. Othram helped solve the murderof Carla Walker that had gone 46 years with no resolution. They are excellent!
❤
I'm so happy for this family. Great policemanship from all involved.
Not eaten by a shark of croc no??!

Well done Peterborough police Services!

genetic genealogy has been amazing at identifying victims & suspects in very old cold cases. truly incredible science that i know so many people are thankful to have answers to decades old questions. i’ve even seen a couple over 100 years old!! the existing family was aware of the story but obviously didn’t know their family member that disappeared, or died & case never solved, so they were still very happy to have answers 😊❤️
Hopefully this is the start of all Canadian police forces getting to ID unknown victims using DNA. Those photos of Gerald really bring his face back into the public to see he was a person like anyone else and one day help to (ideally) bring his murderer to justice. Although 1988 simultaneously seems like yesterday and like a faded dream of a time long forgotten, it'd be good of Gerald's friends to come forward and talk about him. Afterall its the only way forward.
you cant even keep up with what is going on now and you thought "hey lets wastes resources on something that isnt that important"
So this person's life and murder wasn't important? Really. I'm sure, being a cold case, it will still sit in hold whilst current active cases occur. It may well be linked to ongoing criminal activity in the area.
Sounds like a comment that someone who's in fear of a knock at the door one day would say 😂
Let's see if you think the same when something like this happened to someone you love.
Until it's your brother...
I was thinking about that but that's another depth and they need reason to stay. '88 getting your head severed, man that was a really gruesome death back then.. I feel that wasnt so prevalent back then.. I might sound dumb but that was when I used to watch every news channel every day. 😅.
Congratulations to Josh McGrath and Peterborough Police Services! Finally answers for the family and for the public. Condolences to the victims family.
I'm glad the Otonabee River Man has finally been identified as Gerald Durocher. A great job to all involved. Thank you Othram and especially Michael Vogen. As a resident of Peterborough I am eternally grateful...🙏 🥲 😊
Here's a question. Why do you pigs protect criminals and losers and target families and people with jobs.
Hey my name is Batman I'm the guy that speaks on telepathy I'm asking for help I'm being abused mentally until everything by Mr Joe Biden and my family and more people from the capital of Washington DC this has been going on for a lot of years and lately they're threatening me to kill me I don't know what to do even the FBI comes and he hits me to I feel like he's doing something to my face like punches so I'm just letting Pittsburgh know what's going on and I need help and I need everybody in the United States you know that is what's a real story that was transmitting on telepathy please help if you can to the officer of this video can you hear me on telepathy he tells me si thank you please try to help me
Hope these scumbags are caught asap
I know the guy who was charged. He didn't seem like the type of person who'd commit murder. Wow!
wow! Peterborough ppl stop desecrating our beautiful city.
Cops are even worse
It's housing...

Why was the press conference at a residential house?
The drug trade that the police ignore. Many dealer houses are reported and nothing is done.
They are about as helpful as tit's on a bull
I worry about the beautiful city that it once was.
Are you scumbags still arresting people for defending themselves?
When you Call the Peterborough Police For a Stolen Bicycle . 45 Minutes Later NO RESPONCE from the #PeterboroughPolice .!
11 fuckin cops at a time? That's so dumb
The best Chick Cops are...Somewhat Aggressive!! She's the Tough chick you hire!! >>ua-cam.com/video/MwTv45OW5Yw/v-deo.html
Easy
Nope, take cops forever to show up when you report domestic disturbances whether you can hear it inside or outside your home. Yet someone is injured, and all the cops in town show up! Where's the help when we're asking for it? And to call and make a report, you get questioned on the validity of your call. My family is tired of this.
No safety anywhere anymore.
What was the dispute over ? Drugs? Break in ? Was the killer a legal gun owner ? Handgun ? Rifle, shotgun ect ? Condolences the victims’ family regardless. Hopefully we get more information.
Very impressed with the professionalism of the Peterborough police service during this incident. Very well trained group.
