The Integrated Homicide Investigation Team (IHIT) is requesting public assistance to help further its ongoing investigation into the homicide of Charles Klose in Chilliwack.

IHIT says its investigators have been diligently collecting evidence and developing a time line of Charles’ activities leading up to the discovery of his body behind a Chilliwack Scotiabank at around 11 p.m. on June 6.
