More than a month after police began searching a Waterloo landfill in connection with the death of Catherine Todd, they have yet to find the loveseat they say was taken there.

But it’s only a matter of time until the loveseat turns up, according to police.

“We wouldn’t be putting forward this effort if we weren’t certain that the evidence is there, the loveseat is there, and perhaps Catherine Todd is there,” says Insp. Kevin Thaler.

Todd, 48, was reported missing from her Kitchener home on March 21.

Five days later, police said Todd was presumed dead and charged 25-year-old Kitchener resident James Parise with second-degree murder.

That’s when attention turned to the Waterloo Region Landfill, as police began to search a section of the dump for a loveseat that had been removed from Todd’s apartment.

Thaler says landfill staff helped them cordon off a specific section of the facility where the loveseat is believed to be.

“Until that area is exhausted, the search is going to continue,” he says.

In an email to CTV News, Steve Todd says his family is “confident that justice will be served” in his sister’s death.

“We are extremely proud of our local law enforcement for their diligence in trying to locate Cathy’s remains, and the quick work in making an arrest,” he said.

Parise, who has remained in custody, made a brief court appearance Wednesday. His lawyer did not appear and the case was held over until Thursday.
