Reward offered in London-area cold case

The province of Ontario is offering a $50,000 reward for information leading to a conviction in a London, Ont.-areakilling that has gone unsolved for 18 years.

The body of 26-year-old Gregory Lembke of West Grey was found in a lot near Mount Forest on Jan. 4, 1992.

Ontario Provincial Police said he had been shot in the neck and head at close range with a .410 calibre shotgun.

One shotgun shell and one shell casing were found in a driveway leading into the area, and the gun was found four months later in a ditch a short distance from where Lembke's body was found. The shotgun was found to have been stolen in a residential break-in in 1991.

Police said a dark blue pick-up truck was seen in Lembke's driveway at his home in a rural farmhouse outside of Ayton, Ont., the evening before his body was found.

Lembke, who was separated at the time of his death from his wife and lived alone, did not own a motor vehicle, police said.

Police have conducted hundreds of interviews and completed all forensic testing, but no suspects have been arrested.

The reward is for information leading to the arrest and conviction of those responsible for the death.
