Uniformed OPP officers emerged from the building a second time around 2 p.m. with more evidence bags.

The officers could later be seen examining the ramp from the apartment’s underground parking garage. One was carrying a camera. Later, a white pickup truck was towed from a parking lot at the building.

A man at the building said the person who lived in Apt. 401, where police were searching, would often host parties. On at least one occasion someone passed out or fell asleep in the hallway outside the apartment. Other times, the tenant’s guests would get lost or confused and try the doors of other apartments on the floor, the man said.

OPP said Tuesday they were looking for two other men in relation to a silver pickup truck with a full cap on the back spotted in the area where Deepak Beaudoin-Reichmann’s body was found.

It is believed that Beaudoin-Reichmann died prior to his body being thrown into a large bag and dumped into the isolated creek near the hamlet of Bishop’s Mills, south of Kemptville.

Police believe the victim used cocaine and various pills prior to his death.

Investigators believe fellow partiers who were with the victim might have panicked and then decided to transport and dump his body.

Beaudoin-Reichmann struggled with depression, according to his cousin. Travis Koch said Beaudoin-Reichmann had a long history of mental illness and bouts of depression for which he was treated repeatedly in hospital.

He worked as a sous chef and server at several ByWard Market restaurants. He had been admitted into a rehab program for substance abuse in September but was released this month and shortly after received a $5,000 inheritance from a family member.

Beaudoin-Reichmann was reported missing by family members on Oct. 5. His body was found on Oct. 14.

OPP have not revealed exactly where Beaudoin-Reichmann’s body was found — in the creek or at the side of the road.

Police asked that anyone with information call Grenville County-Kemptville OPP at 613-258-3441, the OPP communication centre at 1-888-310-1122 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477.
