Jury Selection Begins For Alicia Ross Murder Trial

Jury selection will begin today in Newmarket, for the trial of a man accused of killing his next-door neighbour.
Daniel Sylvester of Markham is charged with second-degree murder in the slaying of 25-year-old Alicia Ross.
Her disappearance on Aug. 17, 2005, sparked one of the largest missing person searches in Ontario history with nearly 1,000 volunteers combing the area surrounding her home in Thornhill.
The exhaustive search turned up nothing.
Five weeks later, Sylvester surrendered to police on the advice of his lawyer.
