Could it be Charles this time?

[Denise mom to 'Charles Horvath']

Thank You all so much for your kind thoughts.

I am given to understand that these remains are unlikely to be that of my 'Charles'.

Will the searching ever end?

Bless you all for caring.

Denise, I hope this is your son. I will pray every day that your answers will come. I know the waiting is the hardest part. So, may angels hold you and give you comfort during this time of wait. Hugs and blessings.

No Carol no news todate.

Castanet.net stated that the Forensic results would take some time.

So quietly waiting..........do not want to get my hopes too high as last May 2007 when GLOBAL TV did a 'COLD CASE STORY' on 'Charles' which was aired on the News across Canada (3 mins) - 10 hrs later a male body was pulled from Okanagan Lake.

When it turned out not to be mine.......................you could not pick up the pieces off the floor.......it was one of the worst as Angie calls it 'rollercoaster rides' I have fallen off....

As much as I try not to think about it - the headaches are there constantly - sometimes I forget the reason why.

Denise,
Have you heard anything about the results of this find yet? You have waited so long...I pray you soon have answers.

[Carol]

My prayers are with you.

Whatever outcome you hope for, may it be proved to you, Denise; you have waited so long and been so patient. God bless, love Tina XX

Remains determined to be adult male

More information has been released about the human remains discovered in the North Okanagan last week.

The remains were found along the creek near Fulton Road in Vernon on October 13 by a hiker.

Vernon RCMP spokesman, Gord Molendyk, says the remains are that of an adult male.

“It has been determined that the remains had been in the area for between 10 and 20 years, so basically all that is left are skeletal remains. I understand there is enough of the remains left for the investigators to do some DNA testing to help determine the man’s age,” says Molendyk.

He says the police are working with the Coroners Department.

“They feel it could take some time to identify the remains and determine the cause of death. The main goal is of course to identify the man. They won’t only look at missing person’s reports from Vernon, they will be looking at reports from other areas, such as Kelowna because the man could have just been visiting Vernon.”

Last week, a forensic anthropologist did an extensive search of the area where the remains were found.
