Body found in Caledon identified as young escort

A 20-year-old who moved to Toronto to work at an escort agency and went missing in January has been identified as the woman whose remains were found in a ditch in Caledon last Thursday.

A friend says Kera Freeland arrived in Toronto from Vancouver last December to work at Cachet Ladies, an escort agency with branches in Toronto, Montreal, Vancouver and Whistler.

She was last seen on Sunday, Jan. 16 in the Lake Shore Blvd. W. and Queens Ave. area. In February, Toronto police issued a missing-person alert for her.

Freeland, who also went by the names Kera Gray and Megan Parks and used the name Chloe when she was working, was living off and on with her friend Jaymi Deubelbeiss near Lansdowne Ave. and Davenport Rd. The two had grown close and nicknamed each other Bonnie and Clyde, Deubelbeiss said Sunday night.

The 26-year-old George Brown student fought back tears as she described her friend.

“She was so amazing. She had the sweetest voice you could ever imagine ... she carried herself so well. She was so kind,” said Deubelbeiss.

The last text message she received from Freeland read, “Clyde, I’m so sorry. There’s so much drama going on right now. I can’t wait to get to your house tomorrow and tell you all about it.”

She never made it.

The two were supposed to meet up on Jan. 17, but Freeland didn’t show up.

A missing-person report was filed by Deubelbeiss and she also started a Facebook group in hopes of getting tips on her friend’s whereabouts.

“I knew something was horribly, horribly wrong,” said Deubelbeiss, her voice breaking.

Deubelbeiss said she tried to track down Freeland by pretending to be a prospective client in a phone call to Cachet Ladies.

“I thought she was alive for a while because they kept saying, ‘Yeah, yeah she’s on, she’ll be there in half an hour,’ so I thought maybe she was mad at me but…they would just send a different girl.”

The Cachet Ladies website no longer includes Freeland on its roster of escorts, but a cached profile page shows her in a number of provocative poses wearing only lingerie. She is described on the site as one of the “newest top models,” with “beautiful body and facial features.”

Freeland was diagnosed with cervical cancer in December, according to Deubelbeiss, who added that Freeland was also pregnant.

Her remains were found on Mar. 17 around 6 p.m. in a ditch on Heart Lake Rd., between Boston Mills Rd. and Olde Base Line Rd.

The OPP have not yet declared the death a homicide.

Wow she had cancer and was pregnant. Sad news.

 

[relswete]

Very sad news and scary. She was a beautiful girl judging by her facebook photo.

 

[LAgirl]

Tragic and at a so young of an age as well.

 

[Heather T]

That is so sad. She spoke about drama. Was it a jealous BF or john? To be found in a ditch is not an accidental thing. Some monster is out there and I hope they catch the fucker fast.

I don't think we should post her face pic out of respect for her, even if her real name is disclosed in the news report.

 

[purplecrazyy]

You have to wonder if what happened to her was a result of being an escort or not. The news is certainly playing it that way......(because if she was an accountant they wouldn't be harping on her bookkeeping skills)

 

[Unholy]

I wonder too Tboy, I mean the press will jump on anything to sensationalize the story.

All the same it's very sad news.

 

[Ya-Kno-Im-Riight...]

I wondered the same thing....

Always tragic when a life is cut short in its prime like that. REGARDLESS of how he or she chooses to make his or her way in the world. :frown:

Leave it to the press to find an extra angle to sensationalize a story in a feeble attempt to sell an extra newspaper or an extra 30 seconds of advertising time. :grrrrrr:

R.I.P. Kera

 

[Michael Chauncey]

I found this story to be a very tragic and yet the Toronto Star tries to sensationalize it -unforgivable.

 

[Love4Life]

I'm willing to bet either a pimp or a John.


RIP girl. Nobody deserves this, no matter what your occupation is

 

[Zia]

She probably welcomed the drama if she and her friend referred to themselves as Bonnie & Clyde, but no one deserves an end like this.

Rest In Peace.

So young and pretty. You reckon the dude that got her pregnant may have something to do with it?.

 

[coolcow]

I dunno, I think the star is trying to point it in that direction but considering her last words to her friend, the cancer, and the pregnancy, I'd hazard a guess to say she took her own life....especially at 20 you don't have too many coping skills....

The thing the star missed though is doing background on cachet. If they had they would have realized that at cachet, you're not really an escort since they have such low mileage and what they do can often barely be considered sex....least by Bill Clinton's definition.......

Oh and pregnant...at 20? For all you fathers out there who have daughters (to put it bluntly) at breeding age, I most certainly hope they're on some form of Birth Control......and for those that aren't?

:whip:

The last text message she received from Freeland read, “Clyde, I’m so sorry. There’s so much drama going on right now. I can’t wait to get to your house tomorrow and tell you all about it.”

Definitely someone killed her, she wanted to talk about the drama with her friend. She didn't take her own life.

 

[SF kid]

Well, if you know anything about suicidal persons they "say" things like that to throw others off the scent. Those who are serious about it I might add.

I'm not making a judgement one way or the other though, until the evidence is in....

 

[Heart]

Does this mean Cachet as well as other agencies may be for some serious police interrogation?.


RIP Kera

 

[yessica]

I dunno about that. When they busted....(forget the name of incall agency)....for having an underage escort I don't believe any others were particularly targeted. I would say no unless this is ruled a homicide. For all we know she could have been hitchiking home and got hit by a car....(hit and run)or it could having nothing at all to do with the fact that she worked as an escort.

 

[Fairytale]

4play was the agency.

 

[RebekkaWillinger]

THAT was it, thanks for the reminder. Someone asked me about them and for the life of me, I couldn't remember the name.....
