LA PAZ — Police raiding an apartment in Bolivia's capital found a
mountain bike that may have belonged to a Canadian tourist found dead
earlier this year, along with backpacks, passport and credits cards
apparently stolen from tourists, authorities said.

Simon Matthew Boily, 23, of Alma, Que., set out Jan. 21 to cycle down
a treacherous mountain highway through the Andean foothills near La
Paz. His body — but not his expensive mountain bike — was found a
month later in a ravine near the road about 25 kilometres from the
city.

On Monday, Bolivian police executing a search warrant on a pair of
suspected criminals' La Paz apartment found a bike similar to Mr.
Boily's stashed along with an assortment of items apparently stolen
from tourists. They also found marijuana and a .38-calibre pistol.

“We suspect that [the bicycle] could belong to the Canadian tourist
who died six months ago, also in a robbery,” government prosecutor
Alain Canedo said.

Police had been initially unsure whether Mr. Boily's death was
accidental or the result of foul play.
Further investigation is still needed, however, before the bike can be
definitively tied to Mr. Boily, officials said.

The apartment's residents, whom police believe to be Peruvian, had
fled before authorities arrived.

Mr. Boily had planned to travel to the popular tourist town Coroico,
about 50 kilometres northwest of La Paz, where he may have been
seeking volunteer work, Canadian officials said.

The La Paz-Coroico highway, known as the “Highway of Death” for its
hairpin turns and precipitous drop-offs, has become a favourite with
foreign cyclists though traffic wrecks along it have claimed hundreds
of lives over the years.

Jesus Christ, Mike. You just posted a story about a murder investigation.
The "mountain biker" was riding on the pavement -- where you assert that all
bikes belong -- and was a kidnap victim that was murdered.

You are one sorry son of a bitch ...

What's the lie? That's rich. Well, not rich, sad.

The fact is, the mountain biker was riding his bike on the street -- where
you assert tht it belongs -- and he was kidnapped then killed then tossed
off a cliff. His bicycle was stolen, along with his phone and credit cards.

What took you so long, Jeff? You've been arguing with the twit for
years, with no result except that you now have an inferiority complex
because he ignores you. He ignores everyone - live with it and ignore him.

I am far too grandiose to have an inferiority complex, especially one
inflicted by the likes of Michael J Vandeman.
