KAMLOOPS - It was a cool November morning, around 6:30, when Henry Vandenberghe left his North Shore home to walk to the bus stop.
He took his usual path from his Thrupp Street home onto Mackenzie Avenue, where Spirit Square now sits. But he never made it onto the bus and he never made it to work that day. Vandenberghe was struck over the head.
A passerby stopped when they saw Vandenberghe and thought he hit his head and called for an ambulance, says Sgt. Lorne Wood of Kamloops RCMPs Serious Crime Unit.
When he arrived to the emergency room, doctors quickly determined this was no fall.
When he was walking to the bus to go to work that morning, he had on a heavy coat, it was cold out that morning, he had a scarf wrapped tightly around his head, Wood says.
Once emergency officials unwrapped the scarf from his head, they determined this had been an assault. Vandenberghe was bleeding and police were called to the hospital, and to the scene where Vandenberghe was found.
Wood says the assault happened Nov. 28, 2006, and Vandenberghe was taken off life support the next day.
But 10 years later, Wood says a lack of evidence has left RCMP without any answers and theyre turning to the public for help.
