04/10/08: Michael Scullion, 30, Agassiz, BC, Canada

Richard MacInnes, 45, of Rosedale, B.C. has been charged with second degree murder and indignity to human remains in the death of Michael Scullion. Scullion’s body has never been found.
Police believe a fight may have occurred prior to Michael's death/disappearance.According to the Vancouver Sun, MacInnes has a prior conviction for production of a controlled substance and is known to have links in the upper Fraser Valley drug trade. 

MacInnes made his first court appearance on March 10 in the Chilliwack Provincial Court.


In the early morning hours of Thursday, April 10th, 2008, Michael Scullion, 30, of Chilliwack, British Columbia, Canada was in an altercation outside the Agassiz Crossroads Hotel at 5936 Lougheed Highway near Agassiz, BC shortly after midnight. Scullion had been with friends at the hotel pub and when they came outside he was gone. He was reported missing to police that evening. He has had no contact with family or friends and has failed to show up for work or to collect his pay check, which is highly out of character for him.

A missing person's investigation began and within a few days, according to media reports, information learned by investigators suggested that Michael's disappearance was most likely the result of foul play. The Integrated Homicide Investigation Team then assumed control of the investigation.

Scullion was last seen wearing a charcoal coloured hooded sweatshirt with a light grey pattern on the front, blue jeans and white runners. He is described as a Caucasian male with short brown hair, and had two days facial hair growth when last seen. Scullion is 5’11” tall and 180 lbs.

Investigators are hopeful that additional tips will continue to come in to assist in moving this investigation forward.
