to be from a missing person case
A missing person case from two years ago has been solved with the discovery of skeletal remains on Biggs Mountain at the end of Doumont Rd in Nanaimo.
On Saturday April 25, several youth camping as part of Prom weekend, discovered what appeared to be skeletal remains .Cell phone coverage did not enable them to call police from their location, so at first light they hiked out of their camp site and called police who quickly attended to the scene.
Investigators found not only skeletal remains but some personal effects and a BC drivers license. The individual identified on the drivers license James Douglas Maclean age 53, was reported missing by family and friends on March 13,2007.
“Investigators are satisfied,based on their findings and contact with remaining family members the remains are that of the individual reported as missing in 2007 and that foul play is not suspected in his death, stated Constable Gary O’Brien Media spokesperson for the Nanaimo RCMP. The cause of death is not being released by investigators.
The BC Coroners office is involved in the investigation and there has been no word to date if an autopsy has been scheduled.
