Homicide investigators probing disappearance of Langley, B.C. man

Homicide investigators have taken over the case of a Langley, B.C., man missing since late September.

Devon Goodrick, 26, was last seen around 3:30 a.m. near 192 Street and 28 Avenue, and was reported missing two days later.

The Integrated Homicide Investigation Team took conduct of the case on Oct. 8 “in accordance with its mandate to investigate high-risk missing persons and suspicious deaths,” according to a Thursday media release from the policing unit.

“We are working closely with our partners and we are making a public plea for anyone with information on Devon to come forward,“ IHIT spokesperson Det. Cpl. Sukhi Dhesi said.

Police did not provide further details on what prompted IHIT’s involvement in the case, but did say his disappearance was not believed to be linked to the ongoing Lower Mainland gang conflict.

Goodrick is described as Caucasian, six-foot-four and about 250 pounds with short brown hair, green eyes and light facial hair.
