On June 14th, 1988, Philip Fraser left his home in Anchorage, Alaska to check in for his pre-med program at Evergreen State College in Olympia, Washington. On June 17th, he crossed into Canada at a lonely border crossing deep in the mountains of the Yukon Territory at Beaver Creek. When Canadian authorities working at the border asked if he had any weapons on him, he replied that he had two guns…while they are a way of life in both the U.S. and Canada, it is still illegal to cross both borders with weapons. They were confiscated.
On June 18th, he was on his way into Canada. 600 miles and one day later, he pulled into a cafe in Forty Mile Flat, B.C. Unbeknownst to him, a hitchhiker had been dropped off by another vehicle.
The stranger gave off creepy vibes to the mother/daughter team working the cafe, and he eventually talked his way into Philip’s car. Both mother and daughter in the cafe observed that this would come back to haunt Philip. The hitchhiker would be found stranded with his car 200 miles south in Kitwanga, B.C. by Eddie Olson.
The hitchhiker spun a yarn about being on the way to medical school and having car trouble. When the Samaritan lent him a basement couch for the night, the hitchhiker secretly pulled out two wallets to pay for the help. 300 miles from the Olson home, the car was found on fire in a Prince George’s, B.C. Car wash. 6 weeks and only 70 miles from the Olson home, Philip’s remains were found by a hiker.
Philip Innes Fraser of Anchorage, Alaska was killed by an unknown person at the age of 25. Canadian authorities believe that the hitchhiker that he picked up was the culprit. No suspect has ever been identified. The three composite sketches of the potential assailant are in this post. The case remains unsolved.
