Three individuals have been charged with first-degree murder in connection with the disappearance of Robbie Thomson, a 34-year-old man from Smiths Falls, Ontario. Thomson was reported missing in October 2023, and authorities have since classified his case as a homicide, despite the fact that his body has not yet been found. The Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) announced the charges on Thursday, identifying the suspects as Christopher Fenton, 48, and Erin Mackie, 40, both from Montague Township, and Joshua Belfiori, 34, from Kingston. All three were arrested on Wednesday and are currently in custody. They are scheduled to appear for bail hearings at the Ontario Court of Justice in Perth. The investigation into Thomson's disappearance has involved extensive search efforts, including air and canine units. Earlier this month, police offered a $50,000 reward for information leading to Thomson's whereabouts. As the investigation continues, search operations are ongoing on Kelly Jordan Road, located northeast of Smiths Falls. Authorities have assured the public that there is no risk to safety in the area. The case has raised concerns in the community, especially as Thomson's disappearance coincides with two other local men who have either gone missing or been found dead within the past year. However, police have stated that they do not believe these cases are connected. Anyone with information related to Thomson's disappearance is encouraged to contact the dedicated tipline at 1-855-677-4636. Anonymous tips can also be submitted to Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477 or online.
