It was a gift to Eva Couture, mom of a missing man whose car was found at a Chilliwack trailhead two years ago.
Forensic sketch artist Diana Trepkov created an B次元官网网址渁ge progressionB次元官网网址� drawing of Kristofer Couture, and presented it to his mom on Jan. 26, to mark two years to the day since he went missing.
B次元官网网址淲here is he today? What happened to him?B次元官网网址� Trepkov posted on Facebook when she completed the sketch, adding she still holds out hope.
It was actually Kristofer CoutureB次元官网网址檚 case from Jan. 26, 2019 that spurred Trepkov on to create the podcast, B次元官网网址楥an I help you find your missing loved one?B次元官网网址� about her work. Trepkov has been involved in 233 cold cases, doing age progression sketches, putting faces on skulls, and working with police.
B次元官网网址淪o many missing loved ones are found years later. We canB次元官网网址檛 give up. Sure it doesnB次元官网网址檛 look good but we donB次元官网网址檛 know what we donB次元官网网址檛 know. Kris deserves to be located.B次元官网网址�
Her sketch was a gift straight from the heart.
B次元官网网址淣ow, letB次元官网网址檚 find you, Kris,B次元官网网址� she said softly in the video.
The Toronto artist, who has worked with police across North America since 2006, said she kept going back to the drawing of Kristofer, until she got B次元官网网址渢hose big, beautiful brown eyesB次元官网网址� just right.
B次元官网网址淓yes are the windows to the soul.B次元官网网址�

As his mom has recounted over and over since the investigation, Kristofer B次元官网网址楰risB次元官网网址� Couture first arrived in the Lower Mainland from Edmonton, Alberta in mid January 2019 to look for work at the age of 25. He found it in construction.
The established facts are that he went to his roofing job in Maple Ridge the morning of Jan. 25, 2019 and was seen at Good Life Fitness in Burnaby that afternoon. The next day he was spotted leaving the Royal Columbian Hospital in New Westminster.
His mom has never given up hope of finding out what happened, and why her sonB次元官网网址檚 grey Saturn was abandoned at the Elk Mountain trail. It was found by an off-duty RCMP officer, with the rear window smashed out.
B次元官网网址淚 got to know Diana shortly after we reported Kristofer missing and she has been a huge supporter since,B次元官网网址� Couture said. B次元官网网址淪eeing the portrait she drew for the first time on Tuesday, I was overwhelmed with emotion.B次元官网网址�
Couture said she was blown away by the kindness, too, shown by so many who hold out hope for her, and stand by her, even strangers. It has been B次元官网网址渁mazingB次元官网网址� to her just how supportive the community of Chilliwack has been.
People have gone out of their way and she doesnB次元官网网址檛 even know them.
B次元官网网址淭he fact that so many people care makes me believe he will not be forgotten.
B次元官网网址淚 miss his smile, his laugh. I miss everything about him. This gift gave me renewed hope that I will see him again.B次元官网网址�
