Case of missing man still confounds police LARRY VU walked out of a house on Terrace’s south- side two years ago, and hasn't been seen since. The case of the missing man, now 30, is considered so suspicious Terrace RCMP Cnst. Liz Douglas doubted Vu would ever be found alive. Yet with no clues and no body, officers have no indi-: cations of foul play. She said officers have about 25 open files on the frustrating case. “We're not getting a lot of information,” said Cnst. Liz Douglas. “We're hoping we can jog someone’s memory.” Larry Vu, also known by his Vietnamese name as Luat Trong Vu, was report- ed missing Feb. 24 when he did nat show up for work -4 move family and friends say was out of character for him. He was last seen leaving a Pear St. address around 9 a.m. Feb. 24, Vu dropped his mother off at work at Hanky Pan- ky’s Cabaret around 11 p.m, the night before and he was also seen around 1:30 a.m at the Skeena Pub. His car, a gold 1985 four-door Dodge Aries, was found 10 days later off Ka- lum Lake Drive. The RCMP polygraphed friends and scoured the Deep Creek area but their investigation lead nowhere. Vu is five-foot-three and weighed about 135 pounds when he disappeared. He was last seen wearing blue Adidas pants with a red Stripe down the side, Nike runners and a black nylon jacket. Vu was an avid pool player and was known to be experimenting with cocaine in the weeks before he dis« appeared. He also took thyroid pills for a medical condition. He was living at home with his parents and siblings when he vanished. His fam- ily launched a desperate plea for community help in the months following Vu’s disappearance. RCMP want anyone with information to call the Ter- race RCMP at 638-7400 or Crime Stoppers at 635- 8477, Crime Stoppers call- ers will not be asked to re- veal their identity. “We want the public to ‘know that he is still missing and he hasn’t been found or anything,” said Cnst. Liz Douglas.
