Not the first time this fellow has walked away:
Psych patient on the run from lawsuit
 A mentally-ill man who crashed a hijacked car and injured a Vancouver actress is being sued by his victims.

Blogged about these events before

Evidently a much tighter rein was needed with this fellow. They will be making movies about this fellow before we know it.

UPDATE:  This fellow has been found, and a long way from here.

Missing patient

Must be some concern about this fellow Jason Kirkpatrick, a patient at Cypress Lodge. Missing since the 15 October.
       "Leave them alone and they will come home, wagging their tails behind them." We hope that this is the final outcome with this fellow.

UPDATE:  Well it appears that the RCMP have already removed their link to the story. So it would appear that this fellow is safe and sound.  I wish that the RCMP would get it together, and just revise the pages on their bulletins, very unprofessional :(.     Typically they just remove the page,and the public never knows the ending.    They ask for information from the public, but it is a one way street.

April 2011

We have a trend occurring here; another missing patient.
        Here is the RCMP initial report, and the latest with a picture

Linda Stephen 58-years, 5' 4" 108 lbs, last seen wearing a green fleece jacket

 There has been more than normal disappearances at Riverview the past few months, and the staff are being especially quiet about the potential reasons behind them.

The Hillside unit was shut down a few weeks ago now.  It has been totally cleaned out; it hopefully awaits a new use, since it is in good shape.  Finished in 1966, it was designed for patients who were being integrated back into the community.
