Murder investigation begins

Homicide detectives are investigating after a missing Kamloops man was found dead near Logan Lake — but police aren’t saying much about the man or where he was found.

According to Mounties, the man was reported missing on Sept. 23, and his body was subsequently located.

Police are not identifying the man or saying when or where the body was found, identifying the area only as "rural Kamloops," but they said a burning Dodge Dart found in the area of Tunkwa Lake Road and Highway 97D is believed to be connected.

The vehicle fire was reported at about 5:30 a.m. on Monday, Sept. 23.

“Determining the manner and cause of death is the top priority for investigators at this time,” RCMP Staff Sgt. Jason Smart said in a news release.

Smart said investigators want to hear from anyone who has video or information regarding a blue Dodge Dart in the Logan Lake area anytime on Sunday, Sept. 22, or Monday, Sept. 23.

Anyone with information can call police at 1-877-987-8477.
