Prince George, B.C. – It has been just over a year since Vernon Martin disappeared.

 

The 56 year old disappeared about the same time a fire destroyed the Northern Thunderbird Air hangar he and his family owned.

 

On December 19th, 2009 at 2:38 PM, the RCMP and Prince George Fire/Rescue were dispatched to a structure fire at the Northern Thunderbird Air hangar at the Prince George Airport.   ( at right,  police  search debris at the NT Air  hangar site  on Christmas Eve, 2009, photo Opinion250 archive)

 

Fire investigators are unable to conclusively say that the fire was an arson. 

 

In April 2010, a thorough search of the site by UNBC Forensic Anthropologist, Dr. Richard Lazenby was conducted.  As a result of this search, it has been determined that Martin was not in the fire.
