Benjamin Orest Kravetz, 61, of Evansburg was found shot to death in the Lobstick River northwest of Evansburh on September 22, 2012. RCMP are now investigating his homicide.
An autopsy confirmed Benjamin Orest Kravetz, 61, was shot to death, RCMP said Thursday. Police recovered his body from the river, northwest of Evansburg, last Saturday.
Kravetz was last seen the evening of Sept. 9, when he left home to visit a friend’s nearby home, but failed to show up. His vehicle was found near the CN tracks in the area, but the licence plate was removed and is still missing, said Staff Sgt. Shawn LeMay, spokesman for RCMP K Division. The missing plate is WJX 952. Police continue to examine the vehicle for evidence.
Kravetz’s black Rottweiler-cross dog, Daisy, had been with him when he left his home. It was later found at a farm in the area, sometime before Kravetz’s body was pulled from the river, LeMay said.
LeMay wouldn’t comment on whether RCMP suspected Kravetz had met with foul play during the weeks he was missing.
No suspects have been identified.
Evansburg is about 100 kilometres west of Edmonton.
