I'm posting this FB https://www.facebook.com/Chasemporter because he is very active on news sites etc and posting a lot about searches for Oliver.
 
I don't know Oli personally but know some people who do. He has hundreds of friends who adore him and are worried sick about him.
 
I was just in Vancouver downtown earlier this week, I did not see any flyers or anything...

There was nothing in MSM until early this morning, so can only guess they were relying on info from LE.

I wonder why Burnaby RCMP is the lead agency when Oli was last seen in downtown Vancouver. Seems to me we had a similar situation in the Natsumi Kogawa case.
 
I have to make a trip into Vancouver this afternoon and have printed some posters off to take along.
 
I was visiting, and stayed downtown so i wont be back, but I really hope he is found. Downtown seemed like such a nice place, even at night, stark contrast from US cities.
 
My grandkids knew Oli and will be going to the service and Oli's Celebration of Life on Saturday. I can't stop crying over this young man I never met ... because it is so reminiscent of one of my own grandkids who was not unlike Oli just a few years ago but is now looking like he just stepped out of GQ.

I'm sad and very, very angry. They're kids trying to become adults, acting out, being ridiculous, doing pirouettes in the street, rebellious, growing up, coming of age. As it stands now it appears some POP has taken the life of a colourful and vibrant, crazy kid, a much loved character, Oli, Olipop, who carried a lollipop and wore platform shoes. Dammit, dammit, some creep took Oli away from all who love him, and tossed him like garbage miles away from home.
 
I do not understand why there has been not yet to my knowledge, any further or continued info on the circumstances or current, if any, investigation towards this case of my good friend Olli's apparent murder. How is one supposed to try and follow up on this? it seems crazy that we see NBC dateline specials and well-circulated follow up investigations on cases like this every day, in all forms of media, but with this clearly suspicious and very mysterious case, somehow nothing. He was so young and well-known as well, which would lead one to believe it would be of particular public interest. Boggles my mind every time i think about it.
 
take notice Vancouver

Have any of you taken notice of ALL the missing young gay men in Vancouver? Not just missing but some have been found murdered.A family member of mine her friend was found dead he was only 20 years old! He was a homosexual and it seems that most of these men are young 20s homosexual. Some have been found dead! We have a serial killer. It's highly probable that these cases are all linked to One serial killer. It's rare to have one active serial killer but to have two with the same victimology being active at the same time very rare Although not unheard Although not unheard of “highway killers”highway..you have better odds buying a lotto ticket and winning.Why haven't you taken notice?


The boy that was my family members friend was Oliver Zamarripa

Just to keep on track

- A A +

Concern continues to grow for a missing UBC student, who has not been seen for more than a week.


The university’s RCMP say 21-year-old Louis Gonick was last seen by a friend in the UBC area on Sunday April 16.

Police say Gonick has never been reported missing before and his family and friends are concerned for his well-being. They say it is unusual for him to be out of contact.

Gonick is described as Hispanic, 5.6″ tall, 141 pounds, with brown hair and brown eyes. He was last known to be wearing a dark blue shirt, blue jeans, dark blue jacket and grey scarf.

Gonick’s friends have been putting up posters around Vancouver and UBC to help find him. They say police have received a number of tips already.

Anyone with information about Louis Gonick is asked to contact the UBC RCMP at 604-224-1322 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-TIPS. The file number is 2017-1131.

Family and friends say it's out of character for Daniel Bouchard, 20, to disappear without telling anyone. ((Bouchard family))

Concern and frustration are mounting among the families whose loved ones — all young, athletic men — have mysteriously vanished in B.C.'s Lower Mainland in the last year.

"Your heart surely goes out for all these people who have lost their children and haven't heard from them. It's only been four days for me and I don't know how they do it," said Dan Bouchard.

Bouchard's son, Daniel, 20, is the latest in a growing list of young men who have disappeared without a trace in the Lower Mainland.













Daniel Bouchard of White Rock went missing Monday night on the way back to his basement suite from a local pub.

His parents said it's completely out of character for Bouchard to take off without a reason and miss work.

"[Police] have been in constant contact with me. Unfortunately, they haven't been able to tell me much because they're not finding out a lot but I'm confident this is a top priority especially with what's happened recently," Dan Bouchard told CBC News on Friday.

The most recent cases reported to the province's missing persons unit include:

• June 9: Daniel Bouchard, 20, of White Rock disappeared after leaving a local pub.

• April 10: Michael Scullion, 30, of Chilliwack disappeared in Agassiz.

• March 19: Kellen McElwee, 25, of Burnaby was last seen outside a Langley restaurant.

• Jan. 1: Derek Kelly, 32, of Langley vanished near Bridge Lake.

• Nov. 2, 2007: John Kahler, 29, was last seen at a four-by-four truck rally at Stave Lake.

• June 1: Bryan Braumberger, 18, disappeared somewhere near the Coquitlam and New Westminster boundary.

Police have not drawn any link in these six missing cases but John Kahler's sister, Lori, said they bear striking similarities because the men all were relatively young, athletic and good looking.

"Between a lot of them, yes, I do see somewhat of a link," she told CBC News on Friday.

"The fact that none of these men have been found is very frustrating to me, because the closure point after seven, eight months is really what we need," she said.

Paula McElwee's son, Kellen, disappeared after a dinner out with friends three months ago. She said she couldn't help but think about different theories that may link the missing cases.

"Is someone kidnapping them and taking them to some kind of fight club and they have to fight their way out?" she said on Friday.

RCMP Cpl. Karen Boreham, who heads up the force's provincial missing persons unit, said there's no evidence of a connection in these cases.

"The least likely reason that you would go missing in British Columbia — whether you are a man or woman — would be as a result of foul play," Boreham said.

"The most likely reason that a person would go missing would be accident," she said.
