Louis Korkowski
UPDATE: RCMP in Quesnel have confirmed that human remains found in a remote area earlier this month are those of Louis Korkowski. Korkowski was reported missing after being possibly abducted on May 4, and police suspect criminality in his death. Police say the remains were found around 2:30 p.m., on May 6, about 40 kilometres west of Quesnel near the Nazko Highway. Investigators were following a lead into Korkowski’s death when they found the remains.
Investigative efforts to locate Korkowski have identified two vehicles of interest — a 2003 green Ford Explorer and a 2007 grey Toyota Matrix — and police are trying to locate or determine their movements for the past 24 hours.
The Ford Explorer is green with chrome body trim, and it has a roof rack and a dent in the passenger door. The vehicle has black tinted windows and grey five-prong rims, and the B.C. licence plate is KF087R.
The Toyota Matrix is grey with black paint and peeling damage to roof and sticker residue on the passenger side door
Both vehicles were last seen in the area of Sylvia’s Café, in the 5600 block of Nazko Highway, just after 9 p.m. on May 4, according to the RCMP.
“We are asking anyone who may have information about Louis or the vehicles since May 4 at 7 p.m., to immediately contact the Quesnel RCMP Detachment,” Staff Sgt. Janelle Shoihet of B.C. RCMP Communication Services, says in the news release. “The Explorer and Matrix were last known to be bearing B.C. licence plates KF087R and KA111X, respectively; however, we recognize these plates may have been changed or altered, so we are asking the public to concentrate on the vehicle descriptions and photo, rather than the plates.”
Anyone who may have information that might help is asked to contact the Prince George RCMP at 250-561-3300 or anonymously contact Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477 or online at www.pgcrimestoppers.bc.ca.
