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.

Killer of Rupert‘ giant’ on the loose

A PRINCE RUPERT man
convicted in the July, 1995
bealing death of an Ameri-
can fisherman walked away
from a low-security prison
in Abbotsford last week and
may return to the northwest.

Prison officials say Jason
Patrick Glover, 20, is a
“high-risk offender requir-
ing intensive supervision.”

Abbotsford police said
Glover has friends and fam-
ily in Burnaby, Kamloops
and Prince Rupert and
issued an alert after he was
teported missing Monday,
Feb, 21,

Glover, and four other
Prince Rupert teens, were
convicted for the beating
death of an American fish-
erman Trygve Magnusson,
also known as the “Gentle
Giant.”

Magnusson was s walking 7

from a bar to his-boat on the’
Prince Rupert waterfront
when he was robbed of $12
and beaten so badly his face
was unrecognizable,

Glover was 16 when he
was charged with second-
degree murder.

In October, 1997 he was
tried as an adult and found
guilty of manslaughter, as-
sault and robbery with
violence charges and was
sentenced to serve 55
months, including the 25
months he spent in custody
while awaiting trial, in a
federal prison.

He was expected to be

incident.

Glover was transferred to
the low security Sumas
Community Correctional
Centre in Abbotsford three
days before his escape.

Corrections spokesper-
son Debbie Lemay said
Glover was given statutory
release after serving two-
thirds of his sentence last
May.

But when he walked
away from a halfway house

vr bonny went: ast Ie

in Kelowna, he was re-
turned to prison to serve
two thirds of his remaining
sentence.

Sumas centre looks like
a series of condominiums or
apartment blocks, she said,
and operates much like a
“very big halfway house”
for it’s 72 inmates.

Glover is the seventh
prisoner to walk away from
the prison in as many
months.
