Police ID remains near Barrie encampment as victim of 2025 double homicide
Police say forensic testing confirmed the remains of William Blake Robinson, linking them to the alleged killings of two men and 33 charges against the accused.
- On Thursday, the Barrie Police Service identified skeletal remains discovered Aug. 13 near Anne Street and Tiffin Street as 45-year-old William "Blake" Robinson, a victim in a 2025 double homicide investigation.
- Police previously charged 52-year-old Robert Ladouceur, also known as "Tattoo Rob," with first-degree murder, second-degree murder, and indignity to a body in connection to Robinson and 41-year-old David Cheesequay's deaths.
- Investigators stated that Ladouceur, Robinson, and Cheesequay all lived in a wooded encampment between Victoria Street and John Street. Court documents allege the men were killed months apart and both bodies were dismembered.
- Officers initially treated the August discovery as a separate investigation while awaiting forensic results; police confirmed the connection to the double homicide case Thursday, resolving earlier uncertainty.
- Ladouceur was arrested Aug. 2, 2025, and indicted with 33 criminal charges, including firearms and drug trafficking offenses, as authorities continue legal proceedings regarding the 2025 killings.
