Seven years ago, on Valentine’s Day, February 14, 2014, Siem Reap resident and Canadian expat Dave Walker walked out of his room at the Green Village Angkor Guesthouse and was never seen alive again, creating a whodunit mystery that remains unsolved today.

Well, in most people’s minds anyway.

Ten weeks after his disappearance, on May 1 that year, Walker’s badly decomposed body was found near the Angkor Thom Victory Gate, and autopsy details released to date reveal no clear cause of death.

But now, one of the many people who ‘investigated’ Walker’s death says there is no mystery.

Dave Walker’s long time friend Peter Vronsky has this to say:
Walker’s known CV as such is intriguing in itself. He served briefly as a Toronto Police constable, then joined the British Army serving in Northern Ireland fighting the Provisional IRA.

Following this, he became a private investigator in Canada, and worked with the Canadian Security Intelligence Service identifying Khmer Rouge members who had sought refuge in Canada. He also began travelling to Southeast Asia. In the late 1980s and early 1990s, he apparently trained Karen National Liberation Army insurgents, worked as a movie fixer among other things, and in 1998, coedited a book of Bangkok bar girl letters with Richard S Ehrlich, a renowned US journalist based in Bangkok.

In 2009 Walker returned to Cambodia and was involved in several projects including planning a movie. But Vronsky, while investigating the case, discovered his friend was not quite the person he thought he knew.

Peter Vronsky's analysis of what his friend actually was involved in speaks for itself. During my time in Cambodia and Thailand for that matter i ran into quite a number of people that had similar backgrounds. Most of them were suffering Post Traumatic Stress Syndrom. Some of them are running high profile operations in Cambodia eventhough they have a proven criminal record in their home country.
