RCMP In Coquitlam, B.c., Make New Appeal In 40 Year John Doe Mystery

The Canadian Press, 06 Jun, 2017 12:56 PM
    It's been 40 years since an unidentified man drowned in Sasamat Lake and the RCMP in British Columbia are making a new plea for information that might help them identify him.
     
    Cpl. Dennis Morrison says the man was pulled from the lake near Vancouver on June 5, 1977.
     
    Police believe he had probably gone for a swim several weeks earlier and drowned, but no one has ever reported a missing person and his shoes, socks, shirt or any other identifying possessions were never found. 
     
    Police estimate he was 25 years old and he was six feet tall.
     
    The man was wearing jeans and a distinctive silver ring, silver bracelet and two puka shell necklaces, which investigators say were fashionable at the time.
     
    They hope someone will recognize the items and provide a clue that could identify him. 
     
    He had brown hair with long sideburns and brown eyes, and judging from his appearance and jewelry Morrison says he cared about his appearance.
     
    Morrison believes the man was driven to the lake and is urging anyone with information to come forward.
