PRINCE GEORGE — Prince George RCMP say the death of a man who was reported missing earlier this year is now being investigated as a homicide.

Twenty-nine-year-old Julian Wich was reported missing on January 2, 2026, after family members had not seen or heard from him since December 10, 2025.

Police say investigators identified suspicious circumstances early in the investigation, prompting the Prince George RCMP Serious Crime Unit to take over the case.

On June 19, 2026, Wich’s remains were discovered in the Fraser River. Following the discovery and subsequent investigation, officers have determined his death was the result of homicide.

RCMP are now appealing to the public for information that could help advance the investigation.
