I was thinking about Owen today and wondering if their is anything new. Guess not. :(
 
Thinking about Owen today, hope he is found soon!
 
Bump for Owen ... still "missing but not forgotten"
 
Just read this case and it is sad. I tried searching for Owen on the new Missing persons site in Canada and didn't even see Owen on there. You would think that they would make sure he was on there.

Has anyone tried going through the unidentified remains in Canada to see if perhaps his body has been found? I would do it but those pictures give me horrible nightmares :(
 
B.C. missing man still not in RCMP database
August 14 2013

Snipped... The mother of an Australian man who vanished from a hospital in Grand Forks, B.C., three years ago wonders why her son is still not listed on the RCMP’s national database of missing persons.

CBC News has learned police at the rural detachment only heard last month about CanadasMissing.ca, set up in January to assist RCMP in locating missing persons across the country.

I think about Owen often. I have a brother his age who travels internationally often so this hits close to home. I really feel for his family, they've done so much. I pray he's found soon.
 
Mounties trying to identify a man found dead outside Cochrane last year are hoping facial reconstruction will put a name to the victim’s face.

Investigators are taking their plea for help Canada-wide trying to identify the remains, found by a local family in a rural area last October. The body had been decomposing for less than a year, police say.

The remains are not those of a missing Australian man who disappeared from British Columbia in 2010 and was thought to have come to Alberta, police say.

Owen Rooney was last seen in August 2010 after leaving a Grand Forks hospital.

In reading the full article, this statement puzzles me ... is it or is it not Owen??

But after comparing dental charts, police say they do not suspect the remains are Rooney’s.

Reconstruction does however resemble Owen.

He does look familiar, thanks for bumping sillybilly!

From link.bbm.
" The Calgary Medical Examiner says the bones belong to a Caucasian man between the ages of 20 to 60 years.

The individual had once suffered a broken nose that had healed".

Dead less than a year and they can't give a more precise age range?

I'd also like to know whether his teeth were naturally bad or possibly damaged at the same time his his nose was broken.

Have they checked the victim's DNA against the Rooney family DNA? Why have to resort to dental records?
