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.
