Asim CHAUDHRY


Mansura Chaudhry is pleading for her son -- 25-year-old Asim has
been missing for a year -- to get in touch.
The day Asim Chaudhry vanished a year ago, he packed his bag with
clothes and left the textbook he was supposed to be studying on the
dining room table.
"This kind of baffles me, too," his mom, Mansura Chaudhry, 53, said
Thursday as she made an appeal for her son to come home.
"Everything can be worked out," she said. "All the stresses in life
or anything moral or legal -- anything like that can be dealt with.
It's not worth it. Life is too short."
Chaudhry, who was 24 when he went missing, hasn't been seen since
last July 20 when he got on a SkyTrain at Production Way station.
"His friend took the SkyTrain from Production Way to New West and
Asim boarded the SkyTrain, too," his mom said.
Earlier that day, he had written a short e-mail to a good friend
saying he appreciated the friend's support and looked up to him,
Mansura recalled. He told an older brother that he was going to
Simon Fraser University that day. Chaudhry spent a lot of time at
the school studying for a statistics course and working out at the
gym.
In the days after Chaudhry's disappearance, family and friends made
desperate calls to his cellphone, pleading with him to let them know
he was safe.
"Everybody left messages -- nothing," Mansura said.
Mansura and her husband were going through a separation when
Chaudhry disappeared, which Mansura acknowledges may have had an
impact on her son.
"He did have some difficulties," she said.
Chaudhry graduated from Simon Fraser University in 2007 with a
bachelor's degree in political science, but had not found work.
"He didn't have anything. That might have stressed him out," Mansura
said. "Last year, he was talking about going to Korea for teaching,
but that didn't pan out."
In the months before he disappeared, Chaudhry was reading "tons and
tons of books," Mansura said.
"But the last book he was reading was a handbook on pessimism and
that scared me a lot," she said.
When she confronted him, he brushed it off as nothing more than
reading material.
The RCMP continues to investigate the disappearance.

Darlene Battistolo

Surrey BC
Family asks for public's help to find B.C. mother
Allison Cross, Vancouver Sun
Published: Tuesday, July 15, 2008
Vancouver Sun Surrey RCMP are asking for the public's help in
finding a 44-year-old woman who has alarmed her family by dropping
out of contact since she left for a camping trip nearly a month ago.
Darlene Battistolo left her Surrey home on June 22, telling her
daughter she was going to visit her own mother in Oliver and go
camping with a friend, police said.
Apart from a few text messages and some cellphone tower hits
indicating she might be in Lillooet, then Cranbrook, Battistolo
hasn't been heard from since.
She never showed up in Oliver. Surrey RCMP spokesman Sgt. Roger
Morrow said police only appeal to the public for help in missing
persons cases when the situation becomes desperate.
"We deal with about 2,200 missing people a year," he said. "That's
about six a day. We don't actually do this often."
Battistolo hasn't used her bank account since she left, Morrow said,
and was only carrying $500.
"She's got multiple sclerosis and we don't know if she's taking her
[medication]," he said. "We don't know if she has any medication
left."
Battistolo's daughter said the family has been coping with shock and
stress over the past month. "We've lost a lot of sleep. This is
completely out of her character for her," said Melissa Battistolo,
24. "She hasn't done anything like this before. She just abandoned
her family."
Battistolo had recently split from her boyfriend of five years,
Morrow said, but police don't think he is involved in her
disappearance in any way.
"She did send her family some concerning text messages," he said.
The breakup did have an emotional effect on her mother, Melissa
said, but she never expected anything like this to happen.
"To everyone, she appeared fine and rational," she said. Her mother
may be camping alone in a rural area, Melissa said, because she took
all of the family's camping gear.
Morrow said Battistolo can call any police department in Canada to
let them know she's safe. Battistolo is Caucasian, with long brown
hair and hazel eyes. She is five foot three inches tall and weighs
about 110 pounds.
She left driving a 1993 black Honda Civic with licence plate number
932 FLH. Anyone with information about her whereabouts is asked to
contact the Surrey RCMP missing persons unit at 604-599-0502.

Desmond Peter

Cowichan Valley, B.C
Peter's family begs for info
Sarah Simpson, The Citizen
Published: Wednesday, November 05, 2008
One year and eight months after Duncan teen Desmond Peter went
missing, his family is again pleading for his return, and there is
now a $20,000 reward for information leading to his whereabouts.
Peter, who will turn 16 years old on Nov. 15, has not been seen
since March 12, 2007.
"I love you son, I just want you home," pleaded his mom Elizabeth
Louie during a press conference Monday at noon.

Desmond's mother Elizabeth Louie shows a photo collage of her son's
younger years.
Sarah Simpson, Citizen
"I miss you so much. All I want is you home. There is nothing that
we can't work through. I just want you home. I'm not mad at you, I
love you, you mean the whole world to me and my world is falling
apart without you," she said. "All I need is you to come home and
then everything will feel complete."
North Cowichan/ Duncan RCMP investigators, with the assistance of
the Missing Children Society of Canada, have conducted an extensive
investigation into his disappearance.
"Desmond's family remains desperate to find out any information
about his whereabouts to make sure that he is safe and they are
looking for some contact with him," said Cst. Darren Lagan.
Interviews with the boy's family, friends and associates have
sustained no real leads.
"I think to say that we've had little to no concrete evidence would
be right on the money," admitted Lagan.
But Peter's family isn't giving up.
"We all really miss you and it's been really hard watching our house
fall apart," said Donna Louie, the boy's grandmother. "It's hard and
we want you to know that the door is always open. Please call and
let us know that you are okay. That's what we need to know. We need
to know that you're safe."
But for whatever reason, it appears Peter may not want to be found
-- perhaps going so far as to use an alias.
"I want to make it very clear that Desmond is not in trouble with
the police," said Lagan. "He has no reason to fear the police or
fear that the police know where he is."
Being a minor, RCMP officers are just looking to ensure Peter is
fed, clothed and sheltered sufficiently.
"We also need to give closure to the family," said Lagan. "Something
that will help them beyond the state they've had for the last one
year and eight months, which is not knowing where Desmond is, and if
Desmond is safe."
Cowichan Tribes Chief Lydia Hwitsum wants the greater community to
offer its full support.
"I wanted to take the opportunity to plead with the First Nations
community, the boriginal community to come forward with any
information at all, just to ensure that Desmond is safe and to bring
some relief to his family," she said at the press conference. "Your
family loves you and they are making extraordinary efforts to try
and find you and to ensure that you're safe."
To encourage public support, and to bring forth information needed
by Peter's family, the Missing Children Society of Canada is
offering a $10,000 reward for information leading to the whereabouts
of Desmond, said Lagan.
A private reward of $10,000 is also being considered.
Anyone with information on the whereabouts of Desmond Peter is urged
to contact the North Cowichan/Duncan RCMP at (250) 748-5522,
CrimeStoppers at 1-800-222-TIPS (8477) or the Missing Children
Society of Canada at 1-800-661-6160.
Or for Desmond, just call home, a friend or somebody else you trust
that can relay to your family that you are safe.

100 Mile House Free Press
Feb. 22 marked one year since Dennis Cornish went missing, when he
was last seen purchasing fuel for his light brown/tan 1995 GMC

Since his disappearance, 629 members have joined the Facebook group,
showing high interest in the case.
Cpl. Lorne Wood is heading the Cornish case, which he says is
progressing. He reminds those with information to contact the North
District RCMP Major Crimes Unit or Crime Stoppers.
In response to this somber anniversary, his parents released the
following statement last week:
It is now a year since our son, Dennis went missing. We know he is
no longer with us. That is the focus of the RCMP investigation. Our
family does not know how and why he died. The most important thing
for us is finding his body. Not a day goes by that we don’t think of
him. We can’t find peace and move on until we have his remains and
give him a proper burial.
We are open to all suggestions as to where Dennis might be. If you

Michael James Bosma

Missing in Kelowna
Have You Seen Mike?
Police look for public’s help once again on two year anniversary of
Michael Bosma’s disappearance
Kelowna, BC: On January 9th, 2006, then 26-year-old Michael James
Bosma was last seen by staff at a local transition house during the
evening of January 9th, when he left at approximately 9:00pm. This
transition house was his residence at the time. His last known
movements were sometime during January 10th at the Chevron Gas
Station on the corner of Pandosy Street and Harvey Avenue. Since
that time, Police have received few tips, all of which were followed
up without success.
To coincide with this somber anniversary, Police are now asking the
Public to come forward if they can recall anything at all in
relation to Michael Bosma’s whereabouts during that time period in
January of 2006. Understandably, Michael’s parents are seeking
answers in their son’s disappearance and miss him very much.
Michael Bosma, at the time of his disappearance, was described as a
Caucasian male, 6"1, 270 lbs, with dirty blond hair, blue eyes,
wearing glasses.
Anyone with any information about Michael’s whereabouts are asked to
contact the Kelowna RCMP at (250)762-3300 or CrimeStoppers at
1-800-222-8477.
****************************************
Mike Bosma has been missing since Monday January 9, 2006, and his
parents are worried.
Mike is 25 years old, 6'1", 270 pounds, with dirty blonde hair and
glasses. He was last seen wearing blue jeans and a black down filled
jacket.
Mike, 25 suffers from schizophrenia. He was recently hospitalized,
and since then was staying at a local transition house.
Mike hasn't had medication since he went missing, and his father,
John Bosma says "he will be very confused - disoriented and
confused, not violent or anything like that."
He was last known to be in Jammer's Cold Beer and Liquor Store on
Highway 97 sometime Tuesday where he used a debit card.
If you have seen Mike Bosma, call 470-3872, or Kelowna RCMP.
Mike's Aunty Nellie wrote
Our hearts are aching for Len and Anneke Scholte's (my sister's)
grandson who went missing on Jan. 9th. He does have a mental
problem, but this is totally out of his character. He walked away
from his care home at 9:30 PM and has not been seen since.
He has no ID as he left his room as if he would return soon. This is
now 3 weeks and after intensive searches of the rivers by divers and
helicopters etc. in Kelowna, no sign of life. His parents are in
turmoil as my whole family is.
He has not used his bank card since the 10th.
Please pray for Mike. At this time it is the most we can do
Kelowna News January 20, 2006
Every day he’s gone, Michael Bosma’s condition will get worse. Every
day he’s gone brings him more confusion and disorientation.
Every day he’s gone wears on family who miss him so.
John and Wendy Bosma told reporters Thursday that they believe their
26-year-old son could be just about anywhere.
He has been missing since he walked out of a transition home for
people with mental disorders on Monday, Jan. 9.
The 6-foot-one, 270-lb man suffers from schizophrenia and is coming
off a break down.
Without his medication, his parents can only guess at his current
condition.
“He will be confused, disoriented,” Wendy said.
“He is not dangerous or anything but when you’re disoriented you can
do anything that can cause a chain reaction of other things.”
He wouldn’t hurt himself or others, she says, but schizophrenia is a
thought-disorder that could lead him into any situation.
He was diagnosed at age 19, but at times since then Bosma has led a
very regular life.
He has friends, had his own apartment and even attended college for
a time. The stresses of exams last fall led to a break down that
landed him in hospital.
He was staying at Coral House when he walked out around 9 a.m.
He was due for his medication at 11:30 p.m. but never showed up.
No one from the home contacted the Bosma’s until the following
morning.
“I was surprised by that,” Wendy said.
“If he was staying at our house and he wasn’t back, we would have
been out there to look for him.”
He removed some money from a bank account at a Chevron station at
Pandosy Street and Harvey Avenue Tuesday morning but from there
seems to have vanished with very little cash and no identification.
Police have issued a Canada-wide warrant for his detention under a
mental health warrant.
At first, Wendy figured he might be at the mall, where it is warm.
She thought maybe a movie theatre or Internet cafe or sipping a
coffee at Tim Horton’s, his favourite.
She has even gotten tips from some people but none of them have
panned out.
He’s hitch-hiked in the past, and he’s clean cut so perhaps someone
gave him a ride.
The Bosma’s have to rely on people who might have seen him because
it’s less likely that he will see the dozens of missing person
notices, newspaper articles or radio and television messages.
Wendy, John, his two brothers just want him back
“Mike, come home,” Wendy says.
“We love you and miss you and are waiting for you to come and live
with us again.”

Patrick Ratto

Burnaby BC
Have you seen this man? Debra Dorey and her family certainly hope
so. Dorey’s husband Patrick Ratto has been missing since July 25.
Ratto left his job at Teradici, a tech business in Burnaby, on the
afternoon of July 25 and has not been seen or heard from since.
The couple lived in Gibsons for a little over three years, moving to
Burnaby in 2004 due to work commitments. The couple had plans to
return to the Coast one day, which is why Dorey figures Ratto may be
or may have been on the Coast.
“We know he took out $60 from the ATM on July 25. He didn’t have
much more money than that, and none of his credit cards have been
used,” she said during an interview with Coast Reporter last Friday
while on the Coast.
“He didn’t have a lot of money so we figure if he did go somewhere
it would have to be somewhere quick. You can hop on a ferry pretty
quickly.”
To that end, Dorey has received assistance from BC Ferries that
plans to distribute missing persons posters to all their staff and
on all their vessels.
“Right from the start we’ve searched all over Burnaby, Burnaby Lake,
Vancouver — everywhere,” she said. “I hired a private detective and
a dog team has searched all over Burnaby Lake. We have one tip that
came in to police that he may have been seen on July 26 around
Burnaby Lake, but other than that, the police have no leads.”
Dorey said Ratto’s disappearance is puzzling, as it is totally out
of character for him.
“I knew it was bad right from the start,” she said. “I know Patrick.
We’ve been married for 13 years and I’ve lived with him for 14. He’s
never done anything like this before. He left work that day at 1:30
p.m. and that’s it. No one has seen him since.”
Given the time that has passed, Dorey has come to the conclusion
that he is probably dead, but she said family and friends need to
find out what happened to provide some closure.
“It’s very hard to move forward. We need to resolve this so we can
move on,” she said.
Ratto, age 43, is 6’2”, weighs 175 pounds with brown hair and blue
eyes. He was wearing a removable black splint after he was injured
while on a motorcycling excursion a short while before his
disappearance. When he went missing, he was wearing jeans, a beige
T-shirt, sunglasses and white running shoes and carrying a black
backpack and black jacket with white markings.
If you have any information or think you may have seen Ratto, call
Burnaby RCMP Cpl. Scott Baker at 1-604-294-7827 or Sunshine Coast
RCMP at 604-885-2266.

Lindsey Nicholls
 
MISSING 15 YEARS
Since Aug. 2, 1993
1-Lindsey at 14yrs. 2-Age Composite 21yrs.
Vancouver, British Columbia
– Over 15 years ago a young Vancouver Island girl disappeared
without a trace. On her 30th birthday RCMP investigators are once
again asking for the public’s help to locate her.
On August 2, 1993 Lindsey Nicholls, a 14 year old Comox Valley
resident was on her way to visit friends when she vanished. A
witness last saw Lindsey walking east on Royston Road from her
temporary foster home towards Courtenay at 10:30 am. At the time
Lindsey was 160 cm (5’ 3”) and weighted 51 kgs (113) with long blond
hair and green eyes. She was wearing blue jeans, white shoes, a
khaki silk top and a blue and pink checked shirt.
“For the RCMP this remains a very active investigation,” explains
Sgt Tim Shields, E Division Strategic Communications. “While it has
been over 15 years since Lindsey was last seen, we are continually
looking for new information and clues that can help us determine
what happened.”
To date hundreds of tips have been forwarded to the police. These
include possible sightings though they have never been
substantiated. Investigators are asking anyone who may have
information regarding Lindsey and her disappearance to contact the
proper authorities.
“No matter how insignificant a piece of information may seem, it may
be that one piece that investigators need to fit everything else
together,”
explains Sgt. Shields. “Over the past 15 years technology and police
investigative techniques have evolved and improved so that we are in
a position to do things now, that we could not do in the past. I ask
that anyone who may think they know something to pass that
information along. Let the police determine if it is valuable, and
lets work together to solve Lindsey’s mystery.”
Anyone who has information is asked to call the Comox Valley RCMP at
(250) 338-1321 or Crimestoppers at 1-800-222-8477.
For more information please contact:

Message below from Judy which is at her website....
Although I can’t help being hopeful that Lindsey may still be alive
and well, my search for answers has convinced me that the need for a
national Missing Person and Found Remains databank is urgent.
I have
encountered people across Canada who are working hard to make this
databank a reality. These people work for organizations searching
for missing people, trying to identify remains, fighting violent
crime or helping victims of crime. These are the front line people
who understand how important and valuable this tool could be.
I believe
that Canadians will be as shocked as I was when I realized I could
not provide my own DNA sample to be placed in a national databank.
If Lindsey had met with foul play, she could be identified through
my DNA. My hope was that once she was identified, the murderer would
be caught. There are over 6,000 unidentified DNA profiles in the
National Crime Scene index. A large number of these samples are
undoubtedly victims - victims that could be identified through DNA.
So you see,
this legislation is not just about finding missing loved ones. This
legislation will link victims to crime scenes and give the police
the information they need to investigate crimes and keep violent
criminals off the street.
If you take
the time to read some of the articles in the archive section of this
website, you will see that the campaign for this legislation is
gaining momentum. The legislation, Bill C279 (affectionately known
as Lindsey’s Law), was tabled as a private member’s bill.
I have taken
this as far as I can – I am now asking for your help. The next step
is to let your Member of Parliament know that you support this
legislation. One of the best ways to make sure they are aware of the
bill is to ask them specifically how they plan to vote and why.

Expand DNA
data bank The Ottawa Citizen Tuesday, May 24, 2005
As the
mother of Lindsey Nicholls, a teen who has been missing since 1993,
I have been lobbying the federal government for several years to
include a missing-person and unidentified-human-remains index in the
current DNA databank.
A public
consultation process has been launched, as the government is asking
Canadians about this issue to shape public policy.
The deadline
is June 30. I am asking people to visit my website,
http://www.lindseyslaw.com/
, if they have decided to support this effort to change the law. I
hope they will also forward this information to friends and family
across Canada.
I was
shocked to learn that Canada does not have a missing-person and
found-human-remains index in its national database.
How can the
government justify sending forensic experts to Asia during the
recent tsunami disaster to identify those dead and missing when it
refuses to identify hundreds of human remains found right here in
Canada?
I was
recently in Ottawa, where I was invited to give a presentation to
the public consultation committee. During a tour of the National DNA
databank facility, I saw the state-of-the-art facilities and
software systems that were developed to handle this change in
policy.
All they
need to do is turn it on.
I believe
that we can influence the outcome and I hope people will take a few
minutes to add their voices to mine. I want to flood them with
responses so that they will have no excuse for dragging their feet
any longer.
The specific
request should be made that the missing-person databank be made
national and be compared to the crime-scene index in order to
identify victims and serial offenders.
I deserve to
know if Lindsey's remains have been found but not identified.
Perhaps her DNA is sitting unidentified in a crime-scene index.

Student missing after possible street-racing mishap
Surrey teen fails to come home after alleged accident
Raina Delisle, The Province
Published: Wednesday, June 21, 2006
A Surrey family is fearing the worst after an honour-roll student
who may have fallen in with the wrong crowd didn't make it home
after a fender-bender on Saturday night.
Gaganpreet Suveen Sandhar, 17, smashed up his father's 2001 Toyota
Corolla at about 11 p.m. in a possible street-racing accident near
170th Street and 82nd Avenue in Surrey, Gaganpreet's sister, Randeep,
said yesterday.
The teen and the car are missing.
Gaganpreet -- a graduating
North Surrey Secondary student -- was hanging out with about half a
dozen teens who are "a bad influence," Randeep said.
She described her brother as a "quiet guy" who doesn't drink or do
drugs and only recently started staying out late on weekends.
"This is very out of character," she said. "He's been changing over
the past few months, but he's a good kid and has kept up with his
school work.
"I have no idea why my brother was hanging out with those guys."
After the accident, the group drove to the McDonald's restaurant at
156th Street and Fraser Highway in Fleetwood, according to Randeep,
who spoke to the teens.
They told her about the street racing and said Gaganpreet left at
about 1:30 a.m. At 2:15 a.m. he called a friend on his cellphone and
said: "I'm home now, don't worry about me," Randeep said.
He wasn't home in the morning.
"Even if he was going to be home from school five minutes late, he
would call," said Randeep, who reported her brother missing at 4
p.m. Sunday.
She couldn't report it earlier because police said not enough time
had elapsed.
Surrey RCMP Cpl. Roger Morrow said police are "working very
diligently" to find Gaganpreet.
Family members have flown in from Indiana and Toronto to offer help
and support to the Sandhars.
Randeep was at her brother's school yesterday, putting up posters
and urging his classmates to come forward with any information.
"There's been no tips, no clues, no leads, absolutely nothing,"
Randeep said.
"We're totally freaked out."
Gaganpreet's graduation ceremony was last Thursday; his provincial
exams are next week.
Gaganpreet is six feet one inch tall, 215 pounds with black hair and
brown eyes. He was wearing blue jeans and a black summer jacket.

Manvir "Munny" Sidhu

Abbotsford BC
There is still no news regarding Manvir "Munny" Sidhu, a 17-year-old
Abbotsford Grade 12 student who went to bed at 10:30 p.m. on March
30, 2006. He hasn't been seen since.
"We believe there are people out there with information regarding
his disappearance," Abbotsford Police Const. Vinet said last year,
on the one-year anniversary of Munny's disappearance.
"We're urging those people to come forward."
Son's disappearance haunts family
Every time a body is found, Sidhu family wonders if it's Manvir's
Glenda Luymes, The Province Published: Monday, April 02, 2007
Every time he hears police have found a body, A.J. Sidhu wonders
whether it's his younger brother.
"My heart sinks," he said yesterday.
"I just want police to hurry up and do the autopsy and find out if
it's him. When it's not, we wait for the next body."
It has been one year since A.J.'s brother, Manvir "Munny" Sidhu,
disappeared from his family's home in Abbotsford.
The 17-year-old Mouat Secondary school student was last seen going
to his second-floor bedroom on the night of March 30, 2006. The next
morning his mother found his bed empty, his bedroom window open.
Since then, the Sidhu family has been caught in an "in-between
place," said A.J.
When Abbotsford police investigators call with questions about
Manvir, the family fears the worst.
A news story about the discovery of an unidentified body sends the
household into a "frenzy" -- until they find out it is not the teen.
"Not knowing just kills a person," said A.J.
The Sidhu family has received no new information from police, who at
the time of Manvir's disappearance confirmed the teen got along well
with his parents and, to their knowledge, wasn't involved in any
criminal activity.
There are few clues in the case.
Manvir's wallet and passport were found in his bedroom the morning
after he disappeared.
His cellphone was gone and a friend received a text message saying
Manvir was travelling to India with a woman. A.J. doubts the
authenticity of the message.
Two weeks after Manvir disappeared, police said he was spotted in a
surveillance video taken from Abbotsford airport.
He picked up another man at the main terminal and left.
"For the first week we felt like things were happening, but we
haven't heard anything since then. It's been a really difficult
year,"
said A.J.
Yesterday, Abbotsford police confirmed they are still investigating
Manvir's disappearance.
A.J. said the constant waiting has taken a huge toll on his parents.
"They try to keep busy, but this has aged them five years in one,"
he said.
A.J., a rapper, deals with his brother's disappearance in his music
and the 28-year-old has had his younger brother's name tattooed on
his back.
"I miss hanging out with him. I miss having him at my side. Instead,
I wonder if he's still alive," he said. "I think the chances are
50-50."
To mark the one-year anniversary of the day he disappeared, family
and friends gathered at the Sidhu home yesterday to pray for Manvir.
"My biggest hope is that he'll return home safely and alive," said
A.J. "But if he's still on this Earth or if he's not, I know the man
upstairs is with him."
If Manvir is alive, his family is hoping the teen will contact them.
"If he's out there and he feels guilty for not coming home, he needs
to know we'll forgive him 110 per cent. We love him and all we want
is to have him back. We don't want to go through another year like
this," said A.J.
Anyone with information is asked to call Abbotsford police or the
Sidhu family at 604-859-2313.

On Thursday April 10th, 2008 in the early morning hours,
Michael Scullion, age 30 of Chilliwack BC, was in an
altercation outside the Agassiz Crossroads Hotel located at
5936 Lougheed Highway near Agassiz, BC. He was with friends
at the Hotel Pub and when they came outside to find him he
was gone. Scullion was reported missing to police on
Thursday evening and all attempts to locate him at this time
have failed. Police are investigating this as a missing
person case and are also investigating the altercation that
occurred where Scullion was last seen. Foul play has not
been ruled out.
Scullion was last seen wearing a Charcoal coloured hooded
sweatshirt with a light grey pattern on the front, blue
jeans and white runners. He is described as a Caucasian male
with short brown hair, and had two days facial hair growth
when last seen. Scullion is 5’11” tall and 180 lbs.
Scullion failed to show up for work and did not collect his

had no contact with family or friends that police are aware
of.

Derek Kelly

Derek Kelly missing person case now treated as a homicide
Saturday, January 2nd, 2010 | 1:20 am
Canwest News Service
100 MILE HOUSE, B.C. – RCMP said on Friday that a
two-year-old missing person case in the B.C. Interior is now
being investigated as a homicide.
Derek Kelly, 31, of Langley, was last seen at a New Year's
Eve party in the area of Bridge Lake and Highway 24, near
100 Mile House, on Jan.1, 2008.
Although classified as a missing persons file, the matter is
being treated as a homicide, the RCMP said, in a news
release Friday.
RCMP spokesman Cpl. Dan Moskaluk no charges have been laid
in connection with the homicide of Kelly.
He said in the spring of 2008, investigators searched a
property in the area and found "valuable evidence" that has
advanced the case.
"We have also identified several potential witnesses who
have been approached by investigators, but for unknown
reasons, have to date been reluctant to cooperate with
police," he said
"The investigators are confident in saying that the
outstanding witness evidence could very well unlock the
puzzle."
Missing Man: Family desperate for word
By Monique Tamminga - Langley Times - May 16, 2008
Five months after he went missing, the family of a Langley
man still haven’t given up hope.
Derek Kelly went missing in the Cariboo on New Year’s Eve,
and hasn’t been seen or heard from since.
Leanne Kelly said her 31-year-old brother Derek, who goes by
the name “D,” had been working in Port Hardy on construction
when he made the trip to the Cariboo Dec. 30 with a new
girlfriend and some friends and acquaintances.
Leanne said there were at least four and perhaps as many as
eight in the party.
Those friends returned to the Lower Mainland without Derek
and didn’t notify the authorities or his family that he was
missing.
On Jan. 16, the family in Langley reported him missing to
the RCMP; the detachment’s serious crime unit has conducted
an extensive investigation but has not been able to locate
him.
Leanne said her family members are all anxious to know what
has happened to Derek. “He is loved and missed by all our
family and friends,” said Leanne.
Meanwhile, a memorial cross has been demolished and missing
person posters have been ripped down at Bridge Lake, near
100 Mile House, where Derek was last seen.
The memorial was erected by Leanne, who said she put up the
cross March 29 on Highway 24 with a rosary and a guiding
light stone, to help her family find some peace.
Sometime between April 24 and 26 that cross was demolished
and spread over the ditch.
Leanne said she wonders if this was random violence or if
the cross and posters are reminding someone in the Bridge
Lake area that Derek is missing.
“For me personally, it’s a little suspect,” said Leanne.
The investigation has been turned over to the North District
Major Crimes Unit.
Langley RCMP investigators were up in 100 Mile House several
weeks ago, and a decision was made to let the area police
division lead the case.
“It’s difficult to conduct an investigation from that
distance,” said Langley RCMP spokesperson Cpl. Peter
Thiessen.
“Combine that with the complexity of the investigation and
the different directions it may be going, it requires the
North District Major Crimes to take over the file.”
Thiessen wouldn’t release what direction it has taken or
whether there have been new leads.
The family is asking that seasonal residents opening up
cabins have a good look around their property for any sign
of Derek. A family search for him will take place once the
snow has melted. To help in the search or find out more go
to Facebook and search ‘Derek Kelly Missing.’
He is described as 32 years old, 5’11, 170 pounds, with
short dark brown hair and blue eyes.
He has Celtic tattoos on his upper shoulders and back, a
Libra lion on the centre of his chest and an “Irish Pride”
script tattoo on his inner right forearm.
He was last seen wearing a black hoodie with silver or grey
markings, jeans and black Adidas runners.
Anyone who may have seen Derek or have information about him
is asked to call the RCMP or CrimeStoppers at
1-800-222-TIPS.
He is one of a growing number of young, muscular tattooed
white men who have gone missing in the past while.
Burnaby resident Kellen McElwee went missing from the Walnut
Grove Keg restaurant on March 19 and hasn’t been seen since.
His parents have put up a $50,000 reward for his safe
return. His family and police have heard nothing and the
reward expires at the end of May.
Langley resident Johnny Kahler went missing on Nov. 4 while
partying and driving his 4X4 truck in the Stave Lake area of
Mission. His truck was found stuck in the mud with the motor
still running. Despite hundreds of people partying that
night and a huge search for him the next day, he hasn’t been
found.
Teens from Mission and Burnaby have also gone missing over
the past 12 months.
