The Correctional Service of Canada says prison staff discovered Friday afternoon that Robert Raymond Dezwann, 53 wasn’t accounted for and immediately contacted the RCMP.
Dezwann, of Kelowna, B.C., was serving a life sentence with no chance of parole for 15 years after being convicted of second degree murder in 2003.
He was found guilty of strangling 16-year-old Cherish Oppenheim in Merrit, B.C. in 2001, and leaving her body in a wooded area.
Dezwann is described as white, six-foot-one, 186 pounds, with green eyes and a bald head.
Anyone with information regarding his whereabouts is asked to call their local police.
