RCMP Cpl. Evan Hobbs testifies that the location of the grey Honda on the road to Sayward at that time of night struck him as odd.
Hobbs did a U-turn, pulled up behind the Honda and called in the licence plate. A police dispatcher told him it was connected to a missing-person investigation.
Hobbs noticed a child’s booster seat in the back seat and became concerned. He asked Campbell River RCMP to send a police dog in case police had to search the area. He also asked for backup from the Sayward RCMP detachment.The officer waited to see what steps Campbell River RCMP wanted to take because the missing-person file was in their jurisdiction.
“That was the only part of the vehicle we hadn’t been able to visually search through windows … and we still didn’t know the location of Mr. Brown and there was concern he was in the trunk,” Hobbs testified.The officers partially closed the trunk lid to prevent contamination and preserve evidence and closed off Sayward Road with police cars. They covered the Honda with two tents, one from the detachment and another from the volunteer fire department, said Hobbs.
“Some images may be graphic. That’s part of the trial process,” he said. “You’re not to allow the graphic nature of the evidence to sway you one way or the other.”On March 15, Hobbs travelled to Vancouver with Brown’s body to be present for the autopsy.
