I saw this case on the Interactive Map published by the BC Coroners office and I have a lot of questions. I can't find anything about this case beyond two articles in the paper from 1963 and 1964.
First, all the articles I read say they never found the head. If this is the case, how did the determine hair colour?One of the articles also stated that they suspected a finger had been amputated from his left hand, which is also no longer mentioned.
I find not being able to identify bodies with such distinct traits to be extra frustrating!
