Vancouver police have only now even released the name of the man found dead in a one-room apartment in February, followed months later by the discovery of two women's bodies by building maintenance.




It seems that Pham was charged in 2020 with drugging and raping vulnerable women but a warrant for his arrest was not issued until this year just prior to the discovery of his body, I presume a suicide in reaction to his finally imminent arrest. In the time between his one room unit was known to be frequented by vulnerable women and other tenants were well aware of and had contacted authorities regarding the odor of decomposition.

When authorities made the discovery of Pham's body in February, an unidentified woman was found living in the room with his body. Both were removed and the room was sealed but not searched. Some further weeks later, when maintenance workers were clearing the apartment they discovered the bodies of O'Soup and Enan.

Only now are these full details being released. Websleuths is a law enforcement friendly forum so I will refrain from stating my opinion on this case. Perhaps a user who specializes in this sort of thing can make a more complete, documented timeline of these events that I believe would speak for itself.

''A missing Indigenous teen who lived with developmental disabilities was dead in an SRO unit for months before being discovered – despite the fact that Vancouver police located and removed a deceased man from the same unit while she was already dead.

On Feb. 24, the Vancouver Police Department located a man in his 40s dead inside his room in the Heatley Block at Hastings Street and Heatley Avenue.

On May 1, a work crew clearing the man’s possessions from the apartment found the bodies of 14-year-old Noelle O’Soup and an unidentified woman in her 30s, which had been in the room the entire time.''

''The family of Noelle O'Soup, a 14-year-old Indigenous girl whose remains were found in a Vancouver apartment in May, says B.C.'s Ministry of Children and Family Development (MCFD) and the Vancouver Police Department neglected the teen before and after her death, failing to properly inform them when she disappeared and when her remains were ultimately identified.

O'Soup and her three brothers, who belong to the Key First Nation in Saskatchewan and the Saulteau First Nations in B.C., had been living in group homes run by the ministry for over 10 years, since she was removed from her mother's care as a young child.

But her uncle, Cody Munch, had been regularly travelling from Fort St. John to Vancouver to build a relationship with the siblings and was in discussions with the MCFD to move O'Soup out of care and into his family home.

"That kid would have been so much better off with us," said Munch, speaking from Fort St. John.

"One of the things that I don't understand is what went on in that group home. We wanted to ask questions about everything that happened leading up to her death and all, and [MCFD] didn't want to talk about any of that."

Munch described O'Soup as a shy but happy girl who loved to take selfies and who formed strong bonds with the female relatives that she met. But he said that as she grew older, she increasingly struggled with being separated from her brothers and, between 2019 and 2020, became angry and withdrawn. During one meeting with her, he noticed cuts on her arms.

''[Editor’s note: This article contains descriptions of sexual assault and stories related to missing and murdered Indigenous women and youth. It may be triggering to some readers.]

A young woman is speaking out about her interactions with Jimmy Pham, a man who was one of three people found dead inside an apartment in a single-room occupancy building at 405 Heatley Ave. in Vancouver this year.''

''Zoe said she went to Pham’s room inside the single-room occupancy building several times between September and November in 2020 to use drugs, which she says he often provided free to young women. The last time she went to his room, in November 2020, the substances he gave her made her unable to move. Zoe said Pham then sexually assaulted her while she was incapacitated.

“He was weird every time I went there,” Zoe told The Tyee. “He had to keep me hidden. It was very hush-hush — I wasn’t allowed to be seen there or be heard there.”


''Pham insisted that she use the drugs inside his room, Zoe said. She also noticed that the girls Pham brought to his room shared certain physical characteristics: they were young, small and usually Indigenous, often with long dark hair. Zoe said she never saw O’Soup there, or anyone as young as O’Soup.

When Zoe met Pham, she had recently moved to the Downtown Eastside, and he warned her that women new to the neighbourhood are often preyed on by men. But Zoe says Pham was himself a predator. She remembers seeing one woman in his room who appeared to be 19 or 20 and was weeping and very upset. Zoe also described seeing Pham “forcing” a woman into a taxi and said he wouldn’t let her speak to the woman.''

The families of three young Indigenous women found dead in separate circumstances in Metro Vancouver in 2022 are holding a news conference Monday morning to share what they are calling “significant announcements.”

*****
The news conference will include the family members of 20-year-old Tatyanna Harrison, 24-year-old Chelsea Poorman, and 13-year-old Noelle O’Soup, as well as Grand Chief Stewart Phillip — president of the Union of B.C. Indian Chiefs (UBCIC) — and Sue Brown, the staff lawyer for advocacy group Justice for Girls.

Last week, a CBC News investigation revealed the Vancouver police response to the deaths of two young Indigenous women, and an Indigenous girl, is under review. As Michelle Ghoussoub reports, the victims’ families held a march in Vancouver on Monday, three years after their bodies were found.
