As Another Anniversary Passes, Where Is Missing Dylan Koshman?
It is now 15 years since the 21-year-old Canadian disappeared and his family longs to know the truth about what happened.
The family of a missing man from Canada is once again appealing for information about his potential whereabouts on the 15th anniversary of when he was last seen.
Dylan Koshman, 21, came from the city of Moose Jaw in Saskatchewan, but he had moved to Edmonton in 2008 to find work as a pipefitter.
He was living with his two first cousins, Nick Koshman and Colin Demasson, with the three men renting a house on the south side of the city. However, Dylan was apparently homesick as Canadian Thanksgiving rolled around, so CBC News reports he invited another cousin named Cameron Koshman to stay.
But that seemingly innocuous decision was to cause tension that would lead to fisticuffs — and Dylan vanishing into the night.
On October 11th 2008, Colin and Dylan got into a fight about Cameron staying over and, according to Colin’s statement to police, he asked them both to leave.
As demonstrated in a written copy of the record (see below), Colin then went out but was concerned Dylan was still angry and planned to “kick my ass when I got home”.
When he returned, it seems things did indeed turn physical.
“We argued and a fight/wrestling match broke out,” Colin was quoted by CBC News as saying.
According to Nick’s account of what followed in a later interview with CBC News: “They make it to the floor and Dylan’s been throwing punches and Colin looked like he was going more to restrain Dylan rather than hurt him.”
Nick then claimed he turned around to get a drink and when he returned, Dylan had vacated the premises through the back door and only Colin remained. He said he then gathered up Dylan’s things and tried to follow him, but he had already disappeared.
