Over two years after U of T professor David Buller was stabbed to death on campus, Toronto police are posting a $50, 000 reward to help find his killer.

Buller, a 50-year-old fine arts professor, was last seen in the early afternoon of Jan. 18, 2001. He never showed up for his 4:00 class that day, and his body was found in his office at 1 Spadina Rd. the next morning.

Although the case remained open, police wound down the active investigation into his death in April of 2001, after three months and almost 200 interviews had failed to turn up any leads. Police Sergeant Noel Camilleri declined to comment on why the reward was being offered now, but said, “Obviously [the investigating officers] think someone out there can help them…. There must be a good reason, because we don’t often announce this.”

Anyone with information regarding Buller’s death should call Sergeant Ken Taylor or Detective Mark Saunders of the Homicide Squad at (416) 808-7416 or (416) 808-7380.
