An eight-year-old missing person cold case in Edmonton has been upgraded to a homicide investigation, The Fifth Estate has learned.
Edmonton Police Services quietly transferred the Dylan Koshman file from their missing person unit to their homicide department several months ago.
"Reviewing the whole file, reviewing the circumstances of the night he went missing, it stinks, frankly," says Staff Sgt. Bill Clark of the EPS homicide department.
"There's a strong suspicion that it's a homicide and I think we need to take it on."
Clark says in any homicide investigation, police look at the people who last saw the person alive.
"It's people close to the family," he says. "We're going to be looking at them, absolutely."
