Mysterious detour for inmate
By Darren McDonald
A missing parolee turned up in Yarrow Wednesday-along with the female Correctional Service of Canada employee charged with driving him to a halfway house in Vancouver.
At 8:15 a.m. Wednesday, Perry David Hoover, 42, was released from Agassiz's Mountain Institution. He was supposed to be dropped off by the CSC worker at a Vancouver facility that night, but neither he nor his driver showed up.
At 7:26 p.m. Chilliwack RCMP issued a press release announcing the pair's mysterious disappearance along with a description of the woman's red Volkswagen Jetta. Within hours police found Hoover and the woman safe and sound in Yarrow.
CSC spokesman Dennis Finlay spent all of Thursday answering media calls. He said corrections workers across the region are still scratching their heads.
"Our primary concern was our employee's safety," he said of the original search.
Now that the woman and Hoover have been found, the focus of the investigation has shifted dramatically.
"We have some concerns about her well being."
However, those concerns are not physical, as the woman was not harmed in the incident. Finlay would not confirm earlier reports that the woman was earlier identified as corrections employee Marie Yvonne Goyette.
He did stress that the female employee was not a corrections guard, but someone who runs specialized programs for inmates, such as domestic violence and anger management programs that are common in all federal prisons.
The woman transported the inmate in her own personal vehicle, said Finlay, a practice he said is not too common.
"It happens, but it doesn't happen often."
Wednesday's turn of events has the entire corrections community talking.
Gord Robertson is Pacific Region vice- president of the Union of Canadian Corrections Officers. He said offices across the area are buzzing about the incident, but details are scarce.
"We don't know if she was abducted or something else," he said.
Regardless of the circumstances, Robertson said the woman shouldn't have been travelling alone.
"We basically feel no staff member in the corrections service should do it (transport criminals) alone."
