Police Release Composite Sketch of Suspect
New Hazelton, B.C.- RCMP have released a composite sketch of a suspect in a suspicious event that took place on Christmas Eve near Kispiox.
A young female was hitchhiking in the Kispioz area around 12:30 in the afternoon on Christmas Eve when she was picked up by a male driving a red mini van. She says there was a brief conversation, and she became very uncomfortable. She asked the driver to stop the vehicle so she could get out, but he ingnored her and continued drving in the opposite direction from her intended destination.
She feared for her safety, and when the driver slowed to cross a bridge, she jumped from the window of the vehicle. The driver did not stop. He was last seen in the Hagwilget area on Highway 62 heading towards Highway 16.
The driver is described as a Caucasian male, heavy set, approximately 40 to 50 years of age. He has grey hair and was wearing dark brown glasses and a jean jacket.

Michael Moore got an alibi?
He looks like 1/4 of the male population in Northern BC. On a more serious note, I sure hope they catch him and maybe link him to some, if not all, of the Highway of Tears cases.
Haha, omg, Michael Moore. Obviously in the area, filming a documentary about abductions.
born: “He looks like 1/4 of the male population in Northern BC.”
…or about 3/4 of PG men. I see this guy everywhere.
to bad it takes this long, when I read this story last year I tought, why does the police not block the highway on both sides of hazelton and look for this van right away and check who owns a red mini van thru insurance records within a sudden range.Unless the girl didn,t come to police right away, this guy might well have been worth catching, and worth the efford of getting on it right away
