Vancouver police expect to investigate 5,500 files by end of 2022
The number of missing person reports to the Vancouver Police Department this year is at an all-time high and could reach close to 5,500 files by the end of 2022.
“Given his age, the cool temperatures and his unknown whereabouts, police are concerned for his safety,” said a news release issued Sunday. The case of the missing man on Sunday was considered a “high-risk” file, which Dy explained is determined after assessing a person’s age, health issues and well-being. An elderly missing person with dementia is a top priority.
“It's not an offence to go missing and not contact your family,” she said. “A lot of the reports we get are people who are reporting their family members who are estranged, or maybe they're transient so they don't maintain contact and they report them missing.” Vancouver Deputy Chief Fiona Wilson told the Vancouver Police Board July 21 that the department contacted RCMP Asst. Comm. Will Ng to have the RCMP conduct a file review of the Poorman investigation.When police announced in May that Poorman’s remains were found by contractors working on the vacant house in the 1500-block of West 36th Avenue, they said Poorman likely died the night she disappeared or shortly thereafter.
