Police continue to look for clues in the death of 54-year-old Alexander Hegedus of Peachland, B.C. He was the owner-operator of Canadian Painters.

“The circumstances which surround Hegedus’s death remain suspicious in nature as police now focus their search for and ask potential witnesses to come forward,” RCMP Cpl. Jesse O’Donaghey said in a news release.

Investigators have combed through hours of video surveillance footage and are now looking to identify and speak with the potential witnesses in eight photographs.

“Each of the individuals seen in the photographs are believed to be potential witnesses,” Cpl. O’Donaghey said. “We believe there is a possibility that at least one of those members of the public may hold a key piece of information which may aid our investigators.”

No detail is too small, he added.

Police also hope to speak with anyone who missed a scheduled appointment or personal meeting with Hegedus March 22nd or in the days following his death.
