Lanark County OPP Charge Lindsay Dolan, 37, and Dylan Zoobkoff, 33, of Arnprior With Second-Degree Murder and Committing an Indignity to a Dead Body, and Colin Campbell, 37, of Mississippi Mills Is Named as the Man Found Dead Inside a Burning Vehicle off Ramsay Concession 12 (October 2, 2026)
Lindsay Dolan, 37, and Dylan Zoobkoff, 33, both of Arnprior, are each charged with second-degree murder and committing an indignity to a dead body over the death of a man found inside a burning vehicle in a wooded area off Ramsay Concession 12 in Mississippi Mills on Friday, September 11, 2026, according to local accounts published on October 2. The Millstone reported on October 3 that the man was Colin Campbell, 37, of Mississippi Mills; the accounts published the day before gave only his age and his municipality. Lanark County OPP arrested the two in Regina, Saskatchewan on Wednesday, September 30, nineteen days after the fire, with the assistance of the RCMP in Saskatchewan, the Winnipeg Police Service and the Regina Police Service. Both remain in custody and were scheduled to appear at the Ontario Court of Justice in Perth on Friday, October 2. What caused the fire has not been stated, no relationship between the accused and Campbell appears in any account read, and no Ontario Provincial Police release on the file could be located. Both accused are presumed innocent.
The Two Counts Against Each Accused
Each of the two accused faces the same two counts. The Millstone words them as second-degree murder and committing an indignity to a dead body. Lanark Leeds Today and Renfrew Today word the second count as indignity to a dead body. No section numbers appear in any of the accounts read, and none states which of the two accused is alleged to have done what.
Four counts are therefore on the file in total: two counts against Dolan and two against Zoobkoff. Neither accused has entered a plea in anything published, and no account read reports the outcome of the Perth appearance.
A Burning Vehicle off Ramsay Concession 12
Lanark County OPP officers and the Mississippi Mills Fire Department were called to a vehicle fire in a wooded area off Ramsay Concession 12 on Friday, September 11, 2026. Lanark Leeds Today and The Millstone place the call shortly before 5:15 p.m.; Renfrew Today places it just after 5 p.m. A man was found deceased inside the vehicle.
No account read states what caused the fire, whether the fire is alleged to have caused the death, or how the death is alleged to have occurred. No arson count appears against either accused, and none is implied here. Renfrew Today describes the investigation as spanning multiple provinces and levels of police.
The Arrests in Regina
Dolan and Zoobkoff were arrested on Wednesday, September 30, 2026 in Regina, Saskatchewan. Lanark Leeds Today and Renfrew Today say the arrests were made with the assistance of the RCMP in Saskatchewan, the Winnipeg Police Service and the Regina Police Service’s Major Crime Unit and Tactical Support Team. The Millstone names the three assisting forces without naming the Regina units.
No account read says how the two came to be in Regina, when they were located there, whether either was arrested at a residence or elsewhere, or how they were returned to Ontario for the Perth appearance two days later. The Millstone reports that the investigation continues under the direction of the OPP Criminal Investigation Branch, with the Office of the Chief Coroner, the Ontario Forensic Pathology Service and OPP Forensic Identification Services also involved.
Where the Accounts Differ
Three differences between the three accounts that could be read are recorded rather than resolved. On the time of the fire call, Lanark Leeds Today and The Millstone say shortly before 5:15 p.m. and Renfrew Today says just after 5 p.m. On the road name, Lanark Leeds Today and The Millstone print Ramsay Concession 12 and Renfrew Today prints Ramsey Concession 12. On the victim, the accounts of October 2 describe him only as a 37-year-old from Mississippi Mills, while The Millstone of October 3 names him as Colin Campbell, 37.

Lindsay Dolan and Dylan Zoobkoff are each charged with second-degree murder and committing an indignity to a dead body. Neither charge has been tested in court, neither accused has entered a plea in anything published, and both are presumed innocent until proven guilty. No Ontario Provincial Police release on the file could be located, so the charge wording is that of the local accounts read, and those accounts are the source for the allegations. Mississippi Mills borders the City of Ottawa and, with Arnprior, lies within the Ottawa–Gatineau area; the file sits inside the National Capital Region footprint of this beat, where homicides are covered whether or not an organized-crime link is stated. No criminal organization, street gang, outlaw motorcycle club, crime family or cartel has been named by the Ontario Provincial Police or by any account of this file, and none is named here. No account mentions a publication ban.
