Missing man found dead in city's northeast died from blunt force trauma: EPS

An autopsy revealed that a missing person found dead in a new residential neighbourhood in north Edmonton last week was murdered.

Edmonton police said 41-year-old Chad Stevenson, whose body was found on April 16 just north of McConachie Drive and 57 Street, died as a result of blunt force trauma.

Homicide detectives deemed Stevenson’s death to be homicide, and investigators believe he was killed in 2017 – bringing last year’s homicide count to 43.

Stevenson was reported missing by his family after he was last seen in the Cy Becker neighbourhood on November 7, 2017. His vehicle, a maroon 2006 Pontiac Montana, was found on March 20, 2018, in the area of 51 Street and 162 Avenue, EPS said.
