Police confirmed Younker had died the same way as the two prostitutes whose bodies were found in Agassiz. A fifth hooker who worked the same are of the downtown eastside is still missing. In 1982, he picked up a hitchhiker, raped her and shot her in the head. He also picked up a woman in downtown Vancouver and stripped and raped her before trying to strangle her. She too survived.
Police have yet to lay any charges in the five murders.
The skeletal remains of a Vancouver prostitute missing for nearly two years have been found on Mount Seymour. Mary Lidguerre, who was 30 when she went missing in July 1995, was likely killed by someone who picked her up, North Vancouver RCMP Constable Tom Seaman said Wednesday. He said her remains were found near an area people often use to dump their garbage, a short walk from the road halfway up Mount Seymour. At the time of her disappearance, Vancouver police said they believed Lidguerre might have been picked up by a serial killer. Police said five prostitutes disappeared in 1995.
