Holly Maria Jones (September 14, 1992 – May 12, 2003)[1] was a 10-year-old child abduction and murder victim from Toronto, Ontario, Canada.
After dismembering her body, Briere attempted to discard the remains by placing them in two bags and used weights to try to sink them in the Toronto Harbour.
Jones attended St. Luigi Catholic Elementary School in the Junction Triangle neighborhood at the time of the murder.
Police put Briere under surveillance, and obtained a DNA sample by testing his saliva on a soda can he disposed of in a public trash can.
In court, he attributed his actions to viewing child pornography, going on to describe his crime as "cruel, inhuman, and nightmarish", stating he wished to spare his victim's family the pain of a trial.
