Almost 27 years after three young men were murdered in a northern B.C. community, police are still searching for their alleged killer.
B.C. RCMP renewed their call to find Kevin Louis Vermette, in a news release on Sunday (May 19).
Vermette, 70, is believed to be behind a July 12, 1997 triple murder case in Kitimat. He’s alleged to have killed three young men and attempted to murder a fourth, before fleeing town.
Police released an old photo of Vermette as well as a sketch showing how he may have aged.
He’s described as a 70-year-old Caucasian man with brown hair and blue eyes. He’s thought to be about 161 lbs and 5’9” tall. Vermette has a tattoo of a cat on his upper right arm with the word “Lucky” and separate tattoos of a coyote and a moon and a dagger through a red rose on his left arm. He also wears glasses.
Anyone with information on Vermette is asked to contact Kitimat RCMP at 250-632-7111.
