After reviewing everything, here is what I am thinking (all just my opinion/speculation of course):
I don't believe that there is any evidence strong enough to support a suicide or runaway theory.
I don't believe that Wesley was with an acquaintance.
I do believe that Wesley was carjacked with a dangerous weapon, possibly a gun, and forced to drive to or near Mission (the opposite direction of Burnaby, where he was supposed to have his doctor's appointment but never arrived).
I do believe that the small amount of his blood found in his truck could be consistent with a smaller head wound, I am thinking from an "intimidation" hit to the head - enough to scare but not disable him.
I do believe that Wesley was still driving the truck with the carjacker as the passenger when the truck was spotted driving too slowly along the highway, and that from there the truck headed North to Hayward lake.
I do believe (I feel sick typing this) that Wesley was "disposed of" somewhere near where his truck was found, and dumped in the water.
I don't believe that any calls were erased from Wesley's phone. I think the calls from work were not showing due to the phone being in a remote area with likely poor reception.
I would be much interested to hear what other sleuths have to say about all this. I know this isn't exactly a hot case, but Wesley's family still very much deserves answers. It is evident that he is very, very loved.
COLD CASE: Wesley Foulds went missing on March 4, 2009; his truck was found in Mission - Mission City Record
Dec. 31, 2019
Wesley Foulds of Abbotsford was last seen on March 4, 2009. His case has now been posted on a national missing-persons website.
An Abbotsford missing-person case that is over 10 years old has made its way onto a national website in hopes of generating new information.
"The case involves Wesley Foulds, who was last seen on March 4, 2009 at the age of 52.
Foulds left his Abbotsford home that morning for a doctor’s appointment in Burnaby, but never showed up nor did he turn up in Whonnock – west of Mission – for his shift for a company that runs group homes and day programs for adults with disabilities.
The following day, Foulds’ red 2007 Dodge Ram pickup was found by a BC Hydro crew at the Hayward Lake recreation site in Mission.
An extensive search of the area was conducted. Later, small samples of of blood found on the driver’s seat proved to be Foulds’.
His cellphone was recovered from the truck, but his wallet has never been found.
Police have said that despite a “thorough” and “diligent” investigation, they have been unable to determine what happened to Foulds.
Nick Oldrieve, executive director of the Ontario-based website Please Bring Me Home, said he was contacted by Foulds’ niece to post the case online."
Abbotsford man has been missing for almost 5 years
The 57-year-old man left his home in 2009 in his red, 2007 Dodge pick-up truck, in the morning, for a doctor’s appointment in Burnaby. His truck was found in the parking lot of the Hayward Recreation Area north of Mission, but Foulds has not been seen since.
The Abbotsford Police Department investigation continues and police are hoping someone will remember something about Foulds or his truck from March 4, 2009 or will have current information that could assist them.
A new piece of information "In 2011, we received information from a witness who believed they observed FOULDS drivingwestbound on the Lougheed Highway with someone in the passenger seat of the truck on theday of his disappearance.
