The Chippewas of Kettle and Stony Point First Nation are putting up two new billboards on Wednesday offering a $50,000 reward for anyone who can bring those responsible for the death of David Oliver to justice.

Wednesday will mark the third anniversary of the day the 29-year-old’s body was discovered with police soon afterward calling it a homicide.

The Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) and the First Nation band are hoping the billboards will encourage people to call in with new information that could lead to an arrest.

Oliver’s body was found on the site of a former army base near Highway 21 in the municipality of Lambton Shores, Ont. on August 2, 2020. The OPP are working in partnership with the Anishinabek Police Service on the investigation.
