The remains of a Newfoundland trucker who went missing in Ontario two weeks ago were found in the back of his truck’s trailer in his home province, even though his rig was a key piece of evidence in the search and the place where he was last seen.

The Ontario Provincial Police confirmed Tuesday that Brian Lush’s body was recovered inside the truck’s trailer in Port aux Basques, N.L., after its return from Ontario.

The OPP refused to answer questions from CBC News about whether police thoroughly searched the truck and trailer before sending it back to the truck’s owner in Newfoundland, and if so, how investigators could have missed Lush’s remains inside it.

    They found the truck right away because it was parked where he’d last been seen.

    They checked the tractor but not the trailer, then sent it back to the company.

      At this point, I wouldn’t be surprised if “checking the tractor” just involved knocking on the window and shining a light in, menacingly.
