Circumstances of Disappearance

Nam Kwon Kang came from North Korea to Canada in 1995. A former member of the forces in his home country, he was studying at Toronto's Hansaw Language school.

On November 1, 1996 he vanished while visiting a friend in St. John's. He had been in St. John's about a week prior to missing. During that week, Mr. Kang had been rock-climbing and sightseeing in the Signal Hill and Kelly's Island areas.

A five-day search of the area turned up nothing. All his personal belongings were left at the apartment where he was staying.

He was an experienced rock climber, paratrooper and martial arts expert.
