Wayne Leng – who runs Missingpeople.net – delivers the awful news that the signs are not looking good for the former Growing Pains star who suffers from depression and last spoke with his parents on February 8, 2010, before arriving in Vancouver two days later.
Koenig hasn’t been heard from since February 14th.
Leng told RadarOnline.com: “I fear the fact that he had been suffering from depression and that he may have taken his own life
“There was evidence that he used his bank card and I’m sure the police are doing all that they can but the longer there is no contact from him the worse it looks.
“Hopefully, he will be found alive but depression can be a very strong force and these feelings could have overcome him.”
Walter Koenig – who played Pavel Chekov in the original Star Trek – is in Canada with his wife in a bid to help the police find their son.
Koenig’s mother Judy Levitt said that police told her the last activity on her son’s cell phone was on Feb. 16, 2010, when he was apparently in the Stanley Park area and that there was activity on his bank account at about the same time, but nothing since.
Vancouver police revealed to RadarOnline.com that they had been searching inside the huge 1000 acres Urban park but had still not found any traces of Koenig.
Commissioned in 1886, and with over 8 million visitors per year, Stanley Park is the second largest park in Canada and is larger than New York’s Central Park.
A park spokesperson told RadarOnline.com, “There are deep forest areas where people have gone missing before and it is possible that he could have disappeared into one of these locations.
“The police and park rangers know the terrain very well though and they would have been able to make a sweep to try and locate him if he was inside the park.
“It also has beach areas and sea walls where the Pacific Ocean crests Stanley Park, so, it is possible he could have disappeared into the water too.”
Winnnipeg's third annual march for missing and murdered women in Manitoba drew about 400 people. (CBC)Thousands of Canadians marched in memory of murdered or missing women on Sunday, part of Valentine's Day rallies held in Vancouver, Calgary and other centres across the country.
Judith Trimble, who waited inside a church gymnasium in southwest Calgary for the march to start, held a picture of her daughter, Cara Ellis.
"My daughter is somewhere looking down on all this and she knows this is for her," Trimble said. "That's why I'm doing it. It's for her. And all the other girls."
Ellis, a 25-year-old addicted to drugs and working as a prostitute, disappeared from Vancouver's Downtown Eastside in 1997.
"She is the 26th person on the list of indictments against Robert Pickton," Trimble said. "So this is very emotional for me."
Tradition began in Vancouver
Organizers of the Vancouver Valentine's Day march hoped to attract the attention of international media during the Olympics. (Gerry Broome/AP)It is the memory of women like Ellis that the annual march, which began in Vancouver 19 years ago, is meant to honour.
Olympic celebrations paused Sunday as thousands of people paid tribute to missing and slain woman — one of the largest of the annual marches that has taken place in Vancouver over the years.
The group followed the drumbeat of a First Nations elder through the Downtown Eastside and held a news conference, hoping to attract media from around the world on hand for the Olympics.
Leaders in B.C.'s aboriginal community have called for a public inquiry into the deaths of the slain and missing women.
"I think having international media in the city today is an opportunity today, is a day that can put greater pressure on our government to take steps, to be seen to take steps," Maggie de Vries said. "We're asking for a commitment to a public inquiry as soon as one is possible."
Hundreds march in Calgary
Hundreds marched down the sidewalk in Calgary, some holding placards lined with black and white photos of murdered or missing Canadian women.
Organizers say one-quarter of Calgary's homicides are related to domestic violence and they hope the march will raise awareness about Alberta's high rate of domestic abuse and inspire people to take a stand against it.
Suzanne Dzus, who organized the rally in Calgary, said as a mother and a grandmother, those statistics are particularly worrisome.
"I want them to be safe," she said. "I want to be safe in this world. And when I look at how violence against women is escalating in Canada and Alberta especially, something needs to change. And somebody has to do something."
This was the second year the march was held in Calgary. The Montreal march focused on missing and slain aboriginal women. Organizer Rachel Alouki Labbe said she does not think police are making enough progress in Quebec investigations.
"I think they just don't care because so far they did not resolve a lot of cases," she said. "So I think that if they really care they can do a little bit more than that," she said.
The third annual march for missing and murdered women in Manitoba drew about 400 people on Valentine's Day.(CBC)Hundreds of Winnipeggers took to the streets on Valentine's Day to honour Manitoba's murdered and missing women.
The third annual Women's Memorial March drew about 400 people to the downtown on Sunday.
Many wore a butterfly-shaped sign adorned with the name and picture of one of nearly 200 women murdered or missing in Manitoba since 1947.
Many others carried signs and photographs calling attention to the victims.
'All of the women we are marching for were somebody's loved ones.'— Lisa Michell, Women's Memorial March committee chair
"Valentines Day is a significant day to spend with your loved ones, and so it is actually very appropriate to have it on this day because all of the women we are marching for were somebody's loved ones," said Lisa Michell, chair of the march's local organizing committee.
The march originated in Vancouver 19 years ago and similar events were planned for Vancouver, Victoria, Edmonton, Calgary, Sudbury, London, Toronto, and Montreal.
Drawing attention to cases
Bernadette Smith's sister Claudette Osborne has been missing for more than eighteen months.
And she says marches like last night's help draw attention to the unsolved cases.
Lisa McFarland, who marched in the Winnipeg event in 2009 on behalf of her missing sister, Amber, helped organize the 2010 event.
Amber Lynn McFarland was last seen early on Oct. 18 at a bar in Portage la Prairie, Man.(RCMP handout)McFarland found comfort and support in the 2009 march, which moved her to become more involved.
"People come out to the march and they care about your issue and they just want to offer their support. There's peace of mind when you have that number," she said.
"It's a good thing for the community and it's nice not only to honour my sister, for me, but for all the women who have been violently murdered or are missing."
Amber McFarland was last seen the night of Oct. 18, 2008, at a bar in her hometown of Portage la Prairie, about 70 kilometres west of Winnipeg. The RCMP are now treating the case as a homicide.
Bernadette Smith, whose sister, Claudette Osborne, has been missing for more than 18 months, said the march keeps that case and others like it in the spotlight.
"If somebody knows something out there, and we know somebody knows something — you just don't go missing or be murdered without somebody knowing something — it's got to be weighing on that person's conscience," she said.
"Get it off your chest, call Crime Stoppers. It's anonymous. Help give some of those families answers."
Claudette Osborne, who also goes by the name Penny, was last seen July 24, 2008, in the area of Selkirk Avenue and Charles Street, in Winnipeg's North End. There has been no trace of her since then.

CALGARY - Tears of both grief and joy were shed Sunday as a crowd about 300-strong gathered for an emotional march to honour the murdered and missing women of southern Alberta.
"The tears of the heart are sometimes very painful. We can learn to live with them but they don't leave us," said a native elder who cried as he said a prayer to launch the second-annual local Valentine's Day Memorial March.
Led by a banner bearing 3,000 names of missing or murdered women, the march made its way from the Scarboro Church in the southwest, down 17th Avenue to 14th Street S.W., where participants lined the sidewalks and lingered for several minutes, waving to motorists who honked in support of the cause.
Some carried placards with photos of their dead loved ones while others held paper cut-out hearts with their names written on them.
For Dolores Pepper, events like the Valentine's Day march are a chance to honour the daughter she lost as well as reignite interest in her still unsolved murder. Jennifer Joyes was 17 when she was killed in 1991, her body discarded and not found for several months.
"(These events) bring up my hope, my prayers. I feel like maybe . . . it will jog someone's memory," said Pepper.
Pepper was joined by a large family contingent, including several grandchildren. They were among a diverse crowd, which included a group who travelled by bus from the Siksika reserve east of Calgary.
"I'm dumbfounded with the amount of people who turned out," said an emotional Suzanne Dzus.
Dzus previously participated in memorial marches in Edmonton and in Vancouver, where the event began 19 years ago after the brutal murder of an aboriginal woman.
But when she moved to Calgary, she realized there wasn't an event here, so she set out to organize one and is surprised at how quickly it's grown.
"We've had this amazing response. This is heartwarming to know at least there are a whole group of people who really care."
As someone of aboriginal descent, Dzus said the majority of women in her family have experienced violence in one form or another.
But she said violence against women knows no boundaries.
"It doesn't care if you are rich or poor, black or white or Indian, although I will say that if you are indigenous, you are more likely to be targeted as a victim of violence," said Dzus.
Shelley Long Time Squirrel can certainly attest to that. She's lost four women in her life to murder, three of them killed on downtown Calgary streets and one whose remains were found on serial killer Robert Pickton's farm near Vancouver.
"I want them to be remembered," said Long Time Squirrel.
"They're missed and loved so much."
Judy Trimble walked in memory of her daughter Cara Ellis, whose remains were also found on Pickton's farm in 2004.
"It has been rough going ever since," said Trimble, who was joined by son Steven Ellis and his wife Lori-Ann.
"I'm hoping she's smiling down on us right now."
Trimble said it gives her comfort to march with others who've experienced a similar loss. But she also wants to ensure that people don't forget about women like Cara, who spent five years on a missing person's list before police took seriously her disappearance off downtown Vancouver's east-side streets.
"I hope they receive the message that they cannot drive by and let it keep going. This abuse and violence has to stop."
Hundreds of people marched through Vancouver's notorious Downtown Eastside on Saturday to remember the dozens of women who were slain or have gone missing in B.C.
Marlene George, one of the organizers of the 18th annual Women's Memorial March, said the event is for women all over the country.
"We aren't going to tolerate people coming in from outside the community and murdering women from the Downtown Eastside or anywhere, so we're holding this march for all women," she said.
Many were there to mourn the six women whom Robert William Pickton has been convicted of killing and the 20 others he is still accused of slaying.
Other people were there to draw attention to the 18 women who've gone missing along the western stretch of Highway 16, the so-called highway of tears, across northern British Columbia.
And there are other missing women, including more than 30 still on the Vancouver Police Department's list of missing persons from the Downtown Eastside.
Aboriginal leaders demand inquiry
Leaders in B.C.'s aboriginal community used the opportunity to call for a public inquiry into the deaths of the slain and missing women.
B.C. Attorney General Wally Oppal has said any talk of a potential inquiry must wait until Pickton's legal saga comes to an end.
Pickton is appealing his murder convictions, and Crown prosecutors have said there are no plans to push forward with Pickton's 20 outstanding charges if his earlier second-degree murder convictions are upheld.
However, David Dennis of the United Native Nations, who spoke at the march, said it's unfair to have the women's families wait that long for justice.
"Women continue to go missing along the Highway of Tears and the Downtown Eastside. The Vancouver Police and the RCMP have not yet satisfied the aboriginal community or the larger community that they have addressed the errors of the past comprehensively," Dennis said.
The First Nations Summit, the Union of British Columbia Indian Chiefs and the Assembly of First Nations are all demanding answers from the province, he said.
They have sent a letter to the premier and the attorney general requesting a meeting about a public inquiry.
Families still grieving
Jason Fluery, whose sister Mona Wilson is among the women Pickton was convicted of murdering, told a packed room at a community centre before the march that police and politicians have turned a "blind eye" to the missing women.
"My sister was a person with a heart and skin and blood like everybody else in this room," said Fluery.
"It goes on everywhere down here, because nobody cares. Our people are dying every day because of it."
Ernie Crey's younger sister, Dawn Crey, disappeared in December 2000 at age 43. Her DNA was found on Pickton's farm in 2004, although he was never charged in her death.
Crey said if the legal process stops, the families of the women who were connected to the Pickton farm but for whom no one was convicted or even charged may never know what happened.
"It causes me anxiety and anguish," said Crey.
"My concern is that that is where it will all end. This leaves a question mark for a family like mine."
Rallies and marches were also planned in Victoria, Calgary and Winnipeg.
Missing aboriginal women 'lost but not forgotten,' participants say

To the sounds of First Nations drumming and a mournful version of Amazing Grace, an estimated 200 people remembered missing and murdered indigenous women at Thunderbird Park Sunday.
“We came to support and pray with other people,” said Joanne Young, who held a poster of a smiling girl with dark hair — her daughter Lisa Marie Young. Lisa Marie, then 21, disappeared in Nanaimo in 2002 after accepting a ride home from a nightclub with a stranger.
Victoria’s Stolen Sisters memorial march was one of 10 such events that took place across Canada. The local march, organized by the Native Students Union at the University of Victoria, began outside the Our Place drop-in centre on Pandora Avenue near Vancouver Street at 11 a.m. and culminated at Thunderbird Park on Belleville Street near the Royal B.C. Museum around 1 p.m.
Joanne Young and Lisa Marie’s grandmother, Cecelia Arnet, say they are tortured by the fact that her body has never been found and no one has ever been charged in her disappearance. They say that pain unites them with the other people walking in the march, as well as a shared wish that justice will be done.
Marchers, many of whom held signs that said “Lost but not forgotten,” stopped at two places on Government Street where indigenous women were last seen before they disappeared. They also paused to remember 20-year-old Ariana May Simpson, who was pushed in front of a bus at the corner of Pandora Avenue and Quadra Street last February.
Trish Pal of the Native Students Union said Valentine’s Day was chosen for the march because it’s “a day to show our love, so we show our love to these women.”
Fifty-five-year old Maxine Little said she brought her five grandchildren, ages four months to 10 years, so they can understand some of the issues facing indigenous women.
“I’ve been telling them about the ladies who have been going missing,” she said. “We’re thinking about them today.”
Janet Rogers, a co-organizer of the event, said she hopes the march will pressure the B.C. government into taking the issue of missing women seriously, especially given that 18 women have disappeared or been killed along the so-called “Highway of Tears” between Prince George and Prince Rupert.
“For this government to not respond to this issue is an act of prejudice,” she said.
VANCOUVER — More than a thousand people took time off from Olympic celebrations Sunday to remember women who have gone missing, honouring them with a march through the city's gritty Downtown Eastside neighbourhood.
Every Valentines Day for the last 19 years, family and friends of missing and murdered women have been marching in memory of their loved ones.
On Sunday, about 1,200 people in Vancouver followed the drumming of female First Nations elders on the march, a crowd size not reached even in the years after serial killer Robert Pickton was arrested and convicted for murdering women from the area.
Maggie de Vries' sister Sarah went missing from the Downtown Eastside in 1998. She told the media before the march began that the Olympics allows them to shine a spot light on what still needs to be done to protect women in the neighbourhood.
"I think it is an opportunity, having international media here in the city right now means that today is that day that can put greater pressure on our government to take steps," she said. "We're asking for a commitment to a public inquiry as soon as one is possible."
Many of the women who went missing were prostitutes or drug addicts, as Sarah de Vries was.
Maggie de Vries said the police ignored the cases of the missing until there was too much pressure to avoid an investigation any longer.
"They were a group we, as a society, don't see as human. When they went missing there were just so many things done wrong and such a lack of initiative for a long time."
The government has said there won't be a public inquiry into the police response until after Pickton exhausts all possibility of appeal, but de Vries said British Columbia's attorney general could at least give the relatives of the missing women a commitment that an inquiry will be held.
Corinthia Kelly, who works with women in the neighbourhood, said women, especially First Nations, still go missing every week.
"Aboriginal women in our society are perceived - as they have been ever since Europeans first came here - perceived to be disposable."
Police don't investigate the disappearances of First Nations women in the same way and that's why women are allowed to disappear without an investigation, Kelly said.
Karen Williams stood in the middle of the noisy crowd, clutching a stack of flyers with her sister's picture and handing them out to anyone who would listen to the story of Alberta Gail Williams.
She said her sister was working in Prince Rupert, on the northwest B.C. coast, when she vanished in 1989. Her family knew immediately that something was wrong, but Williams said police didn't believe them.
One month and one day after she disappeared, her body was found by hikers in the woods. No one has ever been charged.
"Give us some justice," she said as tears rolled down her face. "We've been waiting too long, this Williams family, nearly 20 years."
Many of the more than 60 women who have vanished from the Downtown Eastside have never been found and Williams concedes that at least her family knows what happened to Alberta.
"At least we had a chance to bury her," she said. "But I still want my sister's name to be a household name."
Pickton was originally charged with killing 26 women, but the trial judge divided the case in two. After a long trial, he was convicted of six murders.
His appeal is sitting before the Supreme Court of Canada. The provincial government has said if Pickton loses his appeal, it won't go ahead with the remaining 20 charges.

Montreal was among the cities across the country that held a Memorial March for Murdered and Missing Indigenous Women on Sunday.
The annual Valentine's Day march was first organized by a community group in Vancouver after a woman was murdered there in 1991. The event was gradually taken on by groups in Edmonton, Winnipeg, London, Sudbury and Toronto.
This year marks the first time the march took place in Montreal.
It began at Parc Emilie-Gamelin and concluded with a commemorative ceremony at Parc des Ameriques.
"We're trying to promote awareness about the fact that indigenous women are about five times more likely than other women to die as a result of violence," said Maya Rolbin-Ghanie of the Missing Justice group.
A study found that 521 indigenous women have gone missing or been murdered in Canada over the past four decades.
Some family members of the victims say they've been left feeling abandoned.
"The family feels so alone. You don't know where to go, where to turn to have support," said Bridget Tolley, whose mother was struck and killed by an SQ police cruiser nine years ago.
Irkar Beljaars, who belongs to the Sisters in Spirit group, said many members of the community feel there are double standards in the way police investigate.
"(They say) ‘Oh, they probably ran away, give it a couple of days, they'll probably come back.' That's what some families have heard," Beljaars said.
Ellen Gabriel, who represents the group Quebec Native Women, said the community is seeking justice.
"Families are just asking for equality -- to be treated the same as any body else," Gabriel said.
VANCOUVER - A former Kamloops detective got excited about a possible break in the murder of Colleen Rae MacMillen, 16, when a U.S. man confessed to killing her.
MacMillen's body had been found on a logging road about 25 kilometres south of 100 Mile House, B.C., about a month after the she went missing in 1974.
But the man changed the details of how the murder was carried out, and police later concluded it was a bogus confession, said Ken Leibel.
The suspect, Edwin Henry Foster, 19, made the confession while serving an eight-year sentence for a gas station robbery. He hanged himself in a Washington state prison in 1976.
The prospect of resolution fizzled into yet another frustrating dead end in the unsolved murder of Colleen MacMillen.
Her brutal death is just one of a grim series of disappearances and murders of women in northern B.C. that have haunted Leibel and other detectives over the years.
Leibel said he got excited again when he began investigating another likely suspect, who lived outside of 100 Mile House in the 1970s.
``Somebody came to the detachment and said a man had tried to abduct them and they took down the licence plate,'' Leibel recalls.
Police ran the plate and saw that the man, Jerry Baker, had a history of sex offences, had done time in prison and had returned to the Williams Lake area around the time MacMillen was killed - the teenager was last seen hitchhiking to a girlfriend's house about six kilometres away in Lac la Hache.
At the time, Leibel felt the man could have been responsible for other murders as well. His name had surfaced in several other investigations, including the murders of Pamela Darlington in Kamloops in 1973 and Gail Ann Weys in Clearwater in 1974.
He tried questioning Baker about MacMillen's murder, ``but he was extremely nervous and denied it.''
Fifteen years later, Baker became the prime suspect for the murder of a young girl named Norma Tashoots, 17, whose body was found on July 10, 1989 in a wooded area near 100 Mile House. She had been shot.
She was last seen about a month earlier being dropped off near 100 Mile House while hitchhiking to Vancouver.
A local resident suggested Baker was responsible for the Tashoots murder.
Baker, who had reported his Ruger handgun stolen to police the day after Tashoots was last seen, was interviewed and denied being involved. The investigation eventually dead-ended.
But it was reopened in 2001 after a complete file review and a decision to try an undercover operation.
Baker eventually confessed to murdering Tashoots to an undercover officer and confided where he had disposed of the murder weapon - the gun he had reported missing - which was recovered. He was convicted in 2003 of the murder.
``Is he responsible for four or five (murders) or one? I don't know,'' Leibel said of Baker.
He said police considered the possibility of a serial killer being involved in the growing number of unsolved murders that occurred along highways in B.C. 's Interior.
``If you've got somebody driving, you could have one guy,'' Leibel said. ``You can cover a lot of ground in a day.''
`It could be anyone'
There has been criticism levelled at police and RCMP over the years for failing to solve the majority of the highway homicide cases including those of the 18 girls and women on the Highway of Tears victims' list.
Leibel said the cases were especially difficult to investigate because they seemed to involve a killer who was a complete stranger to the victims, many of whom were teenage girls trying to hitch a ride.
``It could be anyone,'' he said of trying to find a suspect. ``It's different than when you're investigating a jealous husband or boyfriend.''
There has also been criticism from native communities that police didn't properly handle cases involving some of the aboriginal victims.
But Leibel said police treat every murder the same, regardless of the race, colour or socio-economic background of the victim.
``I always looked at the victim the same: You're my client and I'm going to get some justice for you,'' Leibel said. ``You investigate it as if they were your own brother, sister or parent.''
Leibel retired as a Mountie in 1992 and currently works on contract with the RCMP, interviewing people who apply to become Mounties. Even today, he still thinks about the unsolved murder of MacMillen.
``The odd time I'll be walking with my morning coffee and I'll think: Could I have done something different?'' Leibel, now 58, recalled.
``I'm a proud sucker,'' he said, adding he solved dozens of murders over his 21-year career. Those were the days when a murder file was kept in boxes, before computers and modern forensic science, including DNA testing.
``Overall, I had a pretty good success rate but there were ones that got away (with murder).''
Leibel says he still has his notebooks from those days, which he keeps in his basement, hoping one day to get a phone call, asking him to to testify about the cold case if it gets solved and goes to trial.
``One day, you hope for the call,'' he said.
Keith Hildebrand, the commander of the Quesnel detachment until he retired last year, also finds it frustrating that he could never find the solution to the murder of Deena Braem, 16, who was last seen hitchhiking on Sept. 25, 1999. Her body was recovered three months later, on Dec. 10, northwest of Quesnel near Pinnacles Provincial Park.
Hildebrand said the unsolved murder file was already gathering dust when he arrived as detachment commander. He oversaw the Braem investigation and brought in detectives with the Surrey-based Integrated Homicide Investigation Team. They thoroughly went through the file and tried to find any tips that were not probed.
``We had some good leads but they ended in another dead end,'' explained the 58-year-old retired officer, who now runs the community policing office in Quesnel.
``They are investigating tips,'' he added about the state of the current investigation.
Hildebrand estimated that over the years, more than $1 million has been spent investigating Braem's murder.
It was frustrating for him, when he retired in 2008, that the case remained unsolved.
``It bugs me the most of all my (36) years of service. It was like a loose end you leave behind,'' Hildebrand said.
``Usually, when I took on a file, it had a good result to it,'' he added.
``It was a frustrating investigation for everybody, including her parents,'' he recalls. ``It still bothers me.''
Asked if he believes a serial killer is operating along the highways of B.C. 's Interior, Hildebrand said he is uncertain.
``The evidence is that there is something,'' he said. ``Something unusual.''
Retired Mountie Fred Bodnaruk, who was a staff-sergeant when he headed the investigations into the murders of Colleen MacMillan and Pamela Darlington in the early 1970s, admitted that even though he retired in 1977, he still thinks about the cases.
``They never leave you,'' he said. ``You dream about them, especially the ones you don't solve.''
He always thought a serial killer could have been responsible for several ``highway murders,'' as they were called then.
At one time, Bodnaruk suspected U.S. serial killer Ted Bundy was responsible for Darlington's murder.
The nude body of the 19-year-old was found at the edge of the Thompson River in 1973 with bite marks on her body - a Bundy trademark in some U.S. killings. But investigators concluded that although Bundy had been known to visit Canada, there was no evidence he was in the area at the time.
Bundy, a former Seattle resident, was caught and sentenced to death in Florida for three murders. Just before Bundy was executed in 1989, he confessed to committing more than 20 murders but investigators felt he was responsible for many more.
``Bundy didn't confess anything until the end,'' Bodnaruk said. ``I felt police here should have gone down to talk to Bundy.''
Bodnaruk also compared notes ``all the time'' with Seattle detectives investigating the serial murder case known as the Green River killer. The man eventually caught, Gary Ridgway, pleaded guilty in 2003 to killing 48 women.
Now 78, Bodnaruk recently watched a TV documentary about a man named Wayne Clifford Boden and felt he might be a suspect. Boden was a travelling salesman who killed three women in Montreal before moving to Calgary, where he killed again and got caught in 1972.
He was known as the Vampire Killer because he left bite marks on all his victims, similar to Darlington.
The TV documentary detailed how Boden travelled through Kamloops to Vancouver.
Boden, however, was arrested in Calgary in 1972, convicted of four murders and died in prison in 2006.
Surrey private investigator Ray Michalko has been investigating the Highway of Tears cases on his own time since 2006.
``I was watching the news about the second anniversary of Tamara Chipman going missing (in 2005) and I complained to my wife that nobody seemed to be doing anything, and she said `You're a PI, why don't you do something','' he recalled.
He started investigating the initial eight mysterious disappearances and murders along Highway 16. He estimates he spends up to 40 hours a month pursuing tips he receives by e-mail or on his toll-free line, which he publicizes using letters and posters, including some posted in federal prisons and provincial jails in B.C.
He said when he receives a paying job in the north, he stays a few days longer to do followup on the Highway of Tears tips.
Michalko, 62, a former North Vancouver Mountie, said there is no shortage of theories and rumours about who is behind the murders and disappearances.
Some say it's a cop or a long-haul trucker preying on young girls walking along the highway alone, he said.
``I have seen no evidence of that,'' Michalko said of the rumours. ``There's a million places to pull off and go undetected, but not in a tractor-trailer.''
He's also been told that the girls were abducted and used in some sort of sex trafficking ring. Again, he discounts that theory because he has received no solid tips of it happening.
He initially believed there was a serial killer cruising the highway ``but I don't believe that now. But until you catch somebody, you don't know.''
Despite ``one name that keeps popping up'' - he wouldn't reveal the man's name, other than to say he is linked to a community close to Prince George - there is little to link the unsolved cases together, other than the fact the girls and young women were last seen on the highway, many of them hitchhiking.
He now believes the murders were likely crimes of opportunity committed by various men living in the local communities where the tragedies took place or passing through those communities.
``That's scarier than having a serial killer,'' Michalko explained, adding it means more than a dozen men got away with murder and are still walking free.
Currently there are 60 people, including retired homicide detectives working on contract, assigned to the Project E-Pana investigation, which is conducting homicide probes of 18 female victims along Interior highways.
Investigators descended last August on a piece of property in the Isle Pierre district west of Prince George looking for evidence related to the 2002 disappearance of Nicole Hoar, 25, who was from Red Deer and working as a tree planter when she was last seen hitchhiking near a gas station west of Prince George.
At the time of Hoar's disappearance on June 21, 2002, the property searched by police was owned by Leland Switzer, a welder who told police in 2004 that the night Hoar disappeared he and a friend stopped and urinated near the Mohawk gas station - Hoar's vanishing point.
Switzer told police about this because he said he didn't know if police used a ``fine tooth comb'' to search the scene.
During his police statement, which was obtained by Global TV and provided to The Vancouver Sun, Switzer provided the name of a friend and neighbour whom Switzer claimed had broken down crying when Switzer asked if he was responsible for all the ``girls'' going missing along Highway 16.
``My daughter heard a gun shot that night,'' Switzer added. ``When Nicole Hoar went missing, right?''
He said his wife and daughter were home that night but Switzer said he was at a dance and maintained 33 people saw him there.
Two days after Hoar's disappearance, Switzer fatally shot and killed his older brother, Irvin Switzer, at his parents' property, near his own home. He now is serving life for that murder.
Police confirmed last week that investigators seized a vehicle and other exhibits during the search related to Hoar. The exhibits now are being tested in the RCMP forensics lab.
Marchers carry signs saying 'Lost but not forgotten'
By Katie DeRosa, Victoria Times Colonist February 14, 2010 12:26 PM
An estimated 200 Victorians took to the streets this morning as part of a national event to remember indigenous women who are missing or have been murdered.
Victoria’s Stolen Sisters march, one of 10 such events taking place across Canada, was organized by the Native Students Union at the University of Victoria. The march, accompanied by First Nations drumming and prayers, began outside the Our Place drop-in centre on Pandora Avenue near Vancouver Street and culminated at Thunderbird Park on Belleville Street near the Royal B.C. Museum.
Marchers, many of whom held signs that said “Lost but not forgotten,” stopped at two places on Government Street where indigenous women were last seen before they disappeared. They also paused to remember 20-year-old Ariana May Simpson, who was pushed in front of a bus at the corner of Pandora Avenue and Quadra Street last February.
Trish Pal of the Native Students Union said Valentine’s Day was chosen for the march because it’s “a day to show our love, so we show our love to these women.”
Fifty-five-year old Maxine Little said she brought her five grandchildren, aged four months to 10 years, to the march so they can understand some of the issues facing indigenous women.
“I’ve been telling them about the ladies who have been going missing,” she said. “We’re thinking about them today.”
Janet Rogers, a co-organizer of the event, said she hopes the march will pressure the B.C. government into taking the issue of missing women seriously, especially given the 18 cases of missing or murdered women on the so-called “Highway of Tears” between Prince George and Prince Rupert.
“For this government to not respond to this issue is an act of prejudice,” she said.

OTTAWA — Missing and murdered women in Canada will be remembered Sunday in memorial that marches across the country.
But the occasion may also become a memorial for a government-funded research project that put a spotlight on the hundreds of aboriginal women who have gone missing or were murdered in this country.
Federal funding for the Sisters in Spirit initiative of the Native Women's Association of Canada runs out March 31, and the federal government has not given the group any indication whether its mandate will be extended.
"We haven't heard anything," said Sisters in Spirit director Kate Rexe. "The government is silent on the issue."
With a grant of $5 million, Sisters in Spirit has spent the past five years compiling a database of more than 520 women who have disappeared or been killed over the past four decades.
The group has developed policies and programs it says are meant to help stop the cycle of violence.
Rexe said the agency is prepared to begin implementing policies and community programs aimed at three specific areas — the justice system, child welfare and poverty. But that's been on hold for months because Ottawa won't say if it plans to keep funding the work.
"It's unbelievably frustrating," Rexe said. "We have all the knowledge, the momentum. We can actually start to implement change, but we don't even know if we can keep planning."
A year ago, Status of Women Minister Helena Guergis said she was working on extending the project.
"I want you to know, I've already engaged in the process of what Sisters in Spirit Two would look like," Guergis said at the Status of Women committee meeting Feb. 12, 2009.
But a spokeswoman for Guergis would not say Friday whether funding for Sisters in Spirit is forthcoming, and said in an e-mail Ottawa has asked NWAC to share its database with police.
"Research conducted by SIS thus far has been aimed at informing policy recommendations and identifying future directions. There are currently four provincial investigations ongoing which the RCMP is participating in. At Minister Guergis' direction, NWAC will be consulting with the RCMP to cross reference their list with ongoing investigations," wrote Emily Goucher.
She also said the Status of Women office spent $21 million since 2007 on 117 projects that address violence against women.
Rexe said she's angry at a federal government that "has been spending like drunken sailors with their economic action plan and now with a huge deficit are talking about cuts."
"We have been working for over a year to get a commitment to the life chances and access to justice for aboriginal women, girls and the families of victims, and we are still waiting."
She said the Sisters office couldn't even help organize this year's Women's Memorial March in Ottawa because staff are too busy wrapping up loose ends and searching for other funding. Eight cities across Canada are to hold marches on Valentine's Day.
Sisters in Spirit has painted a rather bleak picture of aboriginal women's lives. Rexe said Canadian crime statistics show that aboriginal identity is the strongest predictor of violent crime.
Aboriginal women are more than three times as likely as other Canadian women to experience violence and those between age 25 and 44 are five times more likely to die a violent death than non-aboriginal women in that age group.
Manitoba MP and Liberal status of women critic Anita Neville said she doesn't understand why Ottawa won't commit to extending Sisters.
"We have called for a renewal for funding to Sisters in Spirit and for a national investigation (into the missing and murdered women)," Neville said. "But money is tight, and I don't know what (the government) will do."

REGINA — On a day devoted to love, a Regina family will gather to remember a beloved mother, daughter and sister who vanished three years ago and to also pay tribute to other missing women.
When she began planning the Miye Kiksuyapi Round Dance — meaning "Don't forget me" — for Valentine's Day, Dianne Big Eagle couldn't bring herself to host an event that would mark only the disappearance of her daughter Danita.
"I know how everyone else feels," she said of those she's met through Saskatchewan Sisters in Spirit, a group dedicated to missing persons. Among the invited speakers are families who still search and those whose missing relatives have been found dead or slain. Sunday's gathering will be held at Sacred Heart, 1380 Elphinstone St., beginning at 6 p.m., followed by a feast, speakers, and a round dance "for healing, wellness and awareness."
Danita Faith Big Eagle is one of 99 known, long-term missing persons in Saskatchewan, including 11 in Regina.
"Your normal like goes out the door," said Dianne Big Eagle. She lives with the question: "Are they going to find her today?"
Danita, then 22, disappeared from the lives of her family, including two young children, on Feb. 11, 2007. Her mother is now raising Danita's children, age six and three, who find comfort hugging a blanket with their mother's face on it.
"I tell them mom will come home when she's good and ready. In the meantime, grandma's here."
Sadly, Big Eagle knows much about loss — her own mother was murdered when Big Eagle was a child; she lost a child in infancy; and she is a victim of the residential school system. Her grandchildren are what keep her going when she starts to lose heart. She wonders if she hangs on too tightly to them, but she couldn't stand to lose them too.
Danita is the youngest of Big Eagle's five children — "my baby." She's also "a bit wild," added her mother, who worries about the harm that might have come to her. Big Eagle last heard from Danita around 10 p.m. on Feb. 11 three years ago when she phoned to say she was dropping off some money for her mother to hang onto for her. Big Eagle could hear loud music and voices in the background. Danita came by a short time later, then left again. She was last seen in the 800 block of Victoria Avenue.
Big Eagle has searched the streets of Regina, Edmonton, Calgary and Winnipeg, stood on the steps of Parliament to bring attention to missing women, spoken at schools about making good choices, and heard plenty of stories about her daughter's possible fate. Until anything is certain, Big Eagle chooses to live with hope.
She recalls the missing women who have been found dead. "Theirs ended badly — but I still have a 50-50 chance she's still alive." At the same time, she can't ignore the other possibility.
During the recent searches for Carlene Walters, a 52-year-old Regina woman missing since Dec. 30, Big Eagle sympathized with her family. A part of her hoped the searchers might also stumble upon Danita. "There's a dread of the worst," she said.
Moments later, the optimism creeps back into Big Eagle's voice. "You haven't heard anything bad — so hope for the best."
"I grew up as a little girl not trusting those who were supposed to be looking after me. I was brought up to be ashamed of who I was. It took me years to feel good in this body, to accept that these brown hands are mine. Finally, I can say I am proud to be an Indigenous woman."
Carol Martin, a victim services worker at the Downtown Eastside Women's Centre, was one of four Indigenous women "honouring" the media this morning at the Carnegie Theatre on East Hastings Street in Vancouver.
Martin, along with Mona Woodward of the Rain City Housing Coalition, Fay Blaney, founder of the Aboriginal Women's Action Network and Dalannah Bowen, Director of Interurban Gallery, invited media to a press conference in lieu of including the press in the February 14 march to honour 3,000 murdered and missing women in Canada.
Journalists are not permitted to attend the ceremony in the Carnegie Theatre at noon on Valentine's Day, and are asked not to film or snap pictures during the march, when friends and families of murdered and missing women will stop to perform healing ceremonies at sites where women have died.
"Nineteen years ago, a Coast Salish woman's body was found in parts in Victoria. She had been mutilated. The memorial for her death lasted 10 minutes," said Blaney. "The community [of Indigenous women] here recognized there's a lot of that."
Eighteen years ago, the first women's memorial march was organized.
"We want to uphold the memorial part of it, to extend respect to the families," she said. Even the organizers of the march, many of whom are political activists, do not bring their politics to the march.
Owen, on behalf of the women giving the press conference and women everywhere, called on the media to "be part of the change, not perpetuate the problem."
The problem – that the list of murdered and missing women, most of them Indigenous, has reached 3,000 since the 1970s; that the list is growing; and that there has not yet been a public inquiry into any of the cases – is exacerbated, according to Owen, by a media that misrepresents the stories of women beaten, violated, kidnapped and murdered across Canada.
Indigenous women in Canada deal with more health problems and homelessness than any other demographic group. "Our children are being taken away from us; our women are being killed," said Martin. "We are homeless in the very country that gets rich on our land."
With billions being spent on the Olympics this year in Vancouver, Owens said, Canadians need to "examine the other side of the coin." Why, when so many public resources are being spent on the 2010 Games, has there not even been a public inquiry into the systematic violence suffered by the most vulnerable Canadians?
If we live in a democracy, said Owens, where is equality? Where is justice?
"Media is a powerful vehicle. We challenge you to give this profile its proper due. Stand with us," she said.
March organizers were asked whether the Olympics in Vancouver would draw attention to – or by the same token, detract from – attention to the march because people would be focused on Vancouver and the Games.
"Our march happens to fall on the same day as the beginning of the Olympic Games. We're not going to strain our brains over it," said Martin.
"We would suggest we will have more people than ever," said Owen. "Not only is the world watching, but women of the world know this issue."
The Vancouver Organizing Committee for the Olympics (VANOC) had suggested the march change its route, which has remained constant for 19 years. In response, 4,000 signatures in support of the march keeping to its original route were collected in less than three days.
Valentine's Day solidarity marches are expected in Toronto, Winnipeg, Edmonton, Sudbury, London, Montreal and Victoria.
"This is about living with dignity and respect in our daily lives," said Owen. "As long as we keep working, the story will be told."

That was the response to each name from RCMP Staff Sgt. Wayne Clary as the Courier confirmed with him on Wednesday the list of missing women cases being investigated by Project Evenhanded.
Just days before the 19th Annual Women's Memorial March in the Downtown Eastside, there are 30 cases still open of the 39 missing women cases listed after the Robert Pickton trial.
Pickton was convicted of the second-degree murder of six women, after originally being charged with 27 counts of murder.
One count was dismissed for lack of evidence and 20 charges still stand. The list of missing women from the Downtown Eastside was clarified after conflicting numbers were provided to the Courier for a story last week. The Joint Missing Women Task Force was working on the case of Teresa Louise Triff last week, Clary said.
Six cases have gone to the prosecutor's office, though charges have not been laid.
The six women are Sharon Abraham, Yvonne Boen, Nancy Clark, Dawn Crey, Stephanie Lane and Jacqueline Murdock. Boen and Crey's DNA was found at Robert Pickton's farm in Coquitlam.
Two of the cases were solved in the past two years. Laura Kathleen Mah and Lillian Jean O'Dare were found to be deceased.
Taressa Ann Williams was confirmed among the missing but a 2004 RCMP press release states her remains were found in Vancouver in 1988 and later identified.
According to Vancouver Police Department spokesperson Const. Jana McGuinness, there are no open missing persons cases in Vancouver, besides the cases that fall under Project Evenhanded.
Organizers of the Women's Memorial March on Feb. 14 say a large number of the missing are aboriginal women, though only a handful of the women listed are identified as having a First Nations background.
Sex trade workers in the Downtown Eastside still live with the constant threat of violence, said Mona Woodward, one of the organizers and a support worker with RainCity Housing and Support Services, at a press conference on Wednesday.
Woodward's observations came from prior work in the sex trade and from her work with RainCity, she said. "During my experience both on the streets and as a frontline worker, I became blatantly aware that aboriginal women experience violence at a higher rate."
The march takes place this Sunday, Feb. 14, starting at noon at the Carnegie Community Centre Theatre. Marches will also take place across Canada, including in Victoria.
The first march was held in 1991, after a woman was killed on Powell Street.
The 30 women still listed as missing by Project Evenhanded are: Marlene Abigosis, Elaine Allenbach, Angela Arseneault, Sherry Baker, Cindy Beck, Marcella Creison, Sheryl Donahue, Elaine Dumba, Sheila Egan, Gloria Fedyshyn, Catherine Gonzalez, Rebecca Guno, Michelle Gurney, Ruby Hardy, Janet Henry, Catherine Knight, Marie Laliberte, Richard "Kellie" Little, Leigh Miner, Tania Petersen, Sherry Rail, Elsie Sebastian, Ingrid Soet, Dorothy Spence, Teresa Triff, Sharon Ward, Kathleen Wattley, Olivia William, Frances Young and Julie Young.
The federal Liberal Party is calling for a national inquiry into the missing and murdered women along Highway 16, also referred to as the Highway of Tears.
Anita Neville, the Liberals’ critic on the status of women, was in Prince George Friday to meet with groups and families of victims regarding the murders and disappearances.
“My leader, Michael Ignatieff, has made it clear when we’re elected we would make a call for a national investigation,” Neville said. “The Native Women’s Association of Canada has identified 520 aboriginal women who are missing or murdered (since 1970). If a planeload of 520 people went down, you could be sure there would be a national investigation.”
Currently the provincial E-PANA police task force is investigating 18 women and girls missing or murdered along B.C.’s highways. Of those 10 cases are from the stretch of Highway 16 between Prince George and Prince Rupert.
“Certainly the provincial governments are responding, and that is good, but everyone is responding in a different way,” Neville said. “It’s a national tragedy. It’s a national stain. (But) there is not a comprehensive, coordinated strategy... led by the federal government.”
There are multiple models a national investigation could be based on, such as the investigation in the Air India bombing, which could be drawn on, she added.
“I don’t know exactly what that looks like,” Neville said. “(But) I think what would be required is to meet with a whole range of stakeholders.”
Neville said she has raised the issue several times with the Department of Justice, but receive little response.
Project E-PANA spokeswoman Corp. Annie Linteau said it’s difficult to say if a national investigation or inquiry would be beneficial to the investigation.
“The RCMP is always supportive of any public forum. (But) an inquiry would not be helpful at this time,” Linteau said. “We’re conducting an active investigation... and we are not in a position to disclose our evidence in a public forum.”
Currently 69 officers and civilian staff are dedicated to Project E-PANA.
Additional resources are dedicated to cases of missing and murdered women through Project Evenhanded in Vancouver, Project KARE in and around Edmonton and Manitoba’s missing person/cold case project, Linteau said.
Linteau said without knowing the details of what a national investigation would look like, it’s hard to determine if it would benefit the investigations.
Cariboo-Prince George MP Dick Harris said he is confident in the current police investigations into the cases.
“We have a coordinated investigation between four provinces now, all along Highway 16 from Manitoba to Prince Rupert,” Harris said. “A national investigation has a good sound to it, but what would it achieve?”
Harris said he believes the call for a national investigation is about politics, not solving cases.
“This is a tragedy. This is not something to politicize,” he said. “If she’s using this issue for political reasons, I’m saddened by that.”
