The disappearance of a Bracebridge man more than three years ago is now being investigated as a homicide by the Ontario Provincial Police.
Police responded to a call from a member of the public on Sept. 12, 2023, who expressed concerns about Holden's well-being.
As part of the ongoing investigation, police executed a search warrant on Monday at a residence on Southwood Road in Kilworthy.
The search involved members of the OPP's Tactics and Rescue Unit and Emergency Response Team.
Police say residents should expect to see an increased police presence in the area while the investigation continues.
The latest development comes less than two weeks after the OPP released surveillance video connected to Holden's disappearance.
Police said Holden was last identified on surveillance footage at an Esso gas station on Ecclestone Drive in Bracebridge on August 12, 2023.
Investigators are trying to identify the male driver seen in the video, who may have been the last person to see Holden.
