Each Thursday we will present Cap News Throwback Thursday for a fun little peak into the past, and a chance for the digital team to climb through the records room.

Today we present the 香蕉视频直播 edition香蕉视频直播� Sunday April 5, 1992.

Spring has sprung, the NHL is locked out and Charles Horvath香蕉视频直播檚 mother, Denise Allan, is in Kelowna searching for her son.

The top story in this issue is about Charles Horvath. He went missing in May of 1989 and in 1992 it appeared, for a few moments, that his mother might finally have some answers about what happened to her son when a body was discovered in the lake near the bridge.

香蕉视频直播淎 British mother香蕉视频直播檚 three-year search for her only son may have come to a tragic end,香蕉视频直播� reads the lede.

Police conducted the lake search after Allan received an anonymous letter that police were looking under the wrong side of the bridge. The second such letter she had received on this trip to Canada. The first said Horvath had been killed and dumped in the lake.

After the body was found Allan was distraught and taken to hospital. Sadly, it was not the closure she needed.

Forensic investigators eventually identified the remains as that of John Edgar Dickson, 64. RCMP reported that no foul play was suspected in Dickson香蕉视频直播檚 death. Dickson had disappeared in 1985 and his remains were not discovered until 1992.

Allan told the Cap News at that time that she was 香蕉视频直播榮ick and tired香蕉视频直播� as her search resumed.
