|
At about 11:00 A.M. Dave Walker, a Canadian writer and filmmaker working and residing in Cambodia, left the Green Village Angkor Guest House (Room 209) Wat Damnak Village, Sankat Salankamroek, Siem Reap, to have breakfast nearby at the 'Five Sons Restaurant' in Sok San Road. |

returned to the The Green Village Angkor Guest House in Wat Damnak Road.
At about 1:30 P.M. the housekeeper came to clean his room and Dave
exited the room, presumably for what was to be a period of 15 to 20
minutes as it was his habit to do so when his room was being cleaned.
His laptop was left in the room in sleep mode and his belongings were
found undisturbed. Dave Walker departed with his wallet and carrying a
bottle of water, but left his cell phone behind on charge. Dave Walker
was last seen at about 2:00 P.M. coming out from the lobby and walking
along a pathway leading to the parking lot and the exit into the street. Dave Walker would not be sighted again until his body was found
on the morning of May 1, 2014 approximately 13 kilometers away in the
Angkor Wat Temple Complex near the "Gates of Death" at Angkor Thom. |
