New forensic testing is needed in the Victoria St. apartment explosion. Woodstock Police today are revealing additional information was discovered in their latest follow-up investigation. However, they're not revealing what that info is. What they are saying is that in light of the additional information, there was a case conference in Barrie, involving several agencies. The OFM and Centre of Forensic Sciences decided new forensic testing needs to be conducted, and once the new results are in, the cause of the explosion will be re-examined. However, Woodstock Police Chief Rod Freeman isn't sure they're any closer to solving the case. "We really didn't discover any information first of all, that would lead us towards any criminality in this tragedy, and we didn't discover any new information that would really lend itself to explaining the cause of the explosion. That's the difficulty we find ourselves in." The blast on the morning of March 27th, 2011 killed two elderly Woodstock residents, 73-year-old Margaret Gillett, and 79-year-old Bill Watmough, and injured dozens of others. Over 100 were left homeless as the explosion and subsequent fire destroyed most of the 3-storey apartment building.
