Kamloops man’s disappearance considered suspicious; possible connection to burned vehicle

A day after Bain was last seen, a vehicle was found engulfed in flames on Tranquille-Criss Creek Road. A person’s body was inside. It was believed to be a stolen Volkswagen Golf.

In a news release issued Wednesday (Sept. 3) confirming the SED MCU’s conduct of the investigation, RCMP noted the potential connection, saying the identity of the victim has not yet been confirmed.

Police are treating Bain’s disappearance as suspicious.

“MCU investigators are looking for public assistance in determining the circumstances that led to Dillen’s disappearance,” said the SED MCU’s Staff Sgt. Jason Smart. “If you have any information related to Dillen Bain’s disappearance, please contact the RCMP.”

Bain’s mother made a pair of social media posts Tuesday night indicating her son had been found deceased.

“My beautiful son Dillen,” Tina Bain wrote. “Your life was stolen from us, and my heart will never be the same. I promise you, I will not stop until there is justice for you. Your name will never fade, and your truth will be heard.”

Dillen Bain’s description:

White
5’10”
185 lbs
Brown hair
Brown eyes
Full sleeve tattoo on left arm
Stylized ‘B’ tattoo behind right ear

Anyone who has information relating to Dillen Bain’s disappearance is asked to call the BC RCMP Southeast District Major Crime Unit at 1 (877) 987-8477.
