Case History
The victim was located in a forested area on the west side of the Fraser River, near the community of North Bend, across the river from Boston Bar.
It is believed he arrived in the area by train and went to great lengths to conceal his identity, as all items of identification had been removed from the wallet and travel bag.
The rail ticket was a day ticket and had been purchased at a stop where there was no ticket agent-no specific stop, date or direction of travel could be determined.
