The Ontario Provincial Police have charged a 75-year-old Winchester man with first-degree murder in a decade-old cold case.

The OPP arrested James Henry “Jimmy” Wise on Thursday at a retirement residence in Winchester and charged him with first-degree murder in the death of Raymond Collison.

Collison, 59, went missing in the summer of 2009. His family had reported him missing in September, three weeks after he was last seen getting on his bicycle outside of the McCloskey Hotel in Chesterville.


Raymond Arnold Collison.


Collison lived with mental illness — schizophrenia — and had disappeared before for weeks at a time. His family knew something was wrong only when his mail began to pile up and his government cheques went unclaimed.

His body wasn’t discovered until April 2014 when two people out for an evening stroll in rural Morewood came across a human skull in a ditch running with spring meltwater.

The body was badly decomposed: It had been exposed to the elements, and preyed upon by insects and animals.

DNA testing was required to identify the body, and two months later the OPP confirmed that the victim was Collison, a Winchester Springs man.

Wise was remanded into custody Thursday and is scheduled to appear before a judge in Cornwall on Friday.
