The Hamilton Police found some partial human remains at a landfill and they suspect that the remains probably belong to Indian-origin woman, Shalini Singh, who was missing since December. Police are awaiting DNA confirmation, which can take weeks, the CBC reported. Shalini Singh’s family members reported her missing on December 10, 2024. According to the information provided at the time of her disappearance, Singh, a mental health care worker, last spoke with her family on December 4. She was last seen entering her apartment two days before that, on December 2.Homicide detectives have been conducting an extensive search for Singh at the Glanbrook Landfill on Haldibrook Road since February 24. The search was initially meant to conclude on April 18, but was extended by two weeks, CBC reported.Shalini Singh’s parents Anita and Dalip told CBC that police informed them about the remains on May 21. “We wanted to hear that she’s safe and she’s going to be back home,” Dalip said. “But we got the worst news we could’ve had.” “They didn’t tell us exactly what they found,” Anita said. “They said it’s better if we don’t know.” Her mother said she’s afraid to find out what happened to her. “But we have to know what happened to her. And I hope she didn’t suffer too much. She didn’t deserve this. She deserved the best of everything. Not this.”
‘She kept saying I love you, mom’
Recalling the last phone call that Anita had with her daughter on December 4, her mother said, “She just kept saying, ‘I love you, mom, I love you mom, I love you, mom.’ And I said, ‘What’s the matter with you, Shalini? Are you all right?'” “And she hung up all of a sudden.” In the following days, there was no trace of Shalini and even her boyfriend. But her boyfriend was later traced, and he did not cooperate in the investigation.
