Between 2017 and 2020, five men have mysteriously disappeared or died in Britsh Columbia, Canada in the area north-east of Vancouver, around D’arcy, Kamloops and Merritt. Despite extensive searches and investigations, only two bodies have turned up and the Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) remain

Kamloops and Merritt are junctions for major highways between other parts of the province. In Kamloops the #5 runs Southwest to Vancouver and North to Valemont (a bit past there is the #16 to either Prince George or Edmonton).

Traffic headed from Calgary to the West Coast will pass through Kamloops and then the #1/#5 to Vancouver, while the the 97/97C connect southward to the USA through Osoyoos.

Merritt gets a share of the traffic on the #5 or 97C

There’s a LOT of people and vehicles coming through, lots of “interesting types” moving products of likely varying legality, and plenty who may mark either Kamloops or Merritt as a place to stop overnight on their journey, or to drop off/retrieve items from one of the many storage warehouses. In either city, auto theft -especially trucks - is pretty common and one “hot” vehicle may be abandoned in exchange for another.

It’s not hard to imagine that some people who may interact with such activities - either by choice or as accidental witnesses to crime - may upset off the wrong folks and be disposed of in any of the many off-road logging trails or backwoods locations off the highways.
