Subject: 144 Hookers Missing

http://www.canada.com/vancouver/story.asp?id={85E206A9-2214-4E28-8DBD-DAD50EE71693} Police figures show they are hoping to shed light on 50 missing women in the search of a pig farm in Coquitlam, but PACE, a society doing research and counselling of sex-trade workers, says it has more than 60 additional sex-trade workers who have been killed in the same time frame in the Greater Vancouver area.

The RCMP's violent-crime tracking computers show a total of 144 sex-trade workers, all but four of them women, have been victims of murder, manslaughter, sudden death with foul play suspected or have been reported missing with foul play suspected in the last decade in B.C.

"In those four categories, we have 144 that have been reported to us," said Cpl. Warren Moore, who is a specialist working on the crime-tracking computers at RCMP headquarters in Vancouver. "And these are all sex-trade workers."

Those figures might not provide a true picture because some RCMP districts are still not compliant with reporting procedures for input into crime-tracking computers, he said.

Of the 144 reported dead or missing, 84 remain unsolved, Moore said yesterday.
