Masood Masjoody was a troubled man. Obnoxious, outlandishly paranoid and vexatiously litigious, the murdered 45-year-old former sessional math instructor at Simon Fraser University was long active in Iranian diaspora circles. He was ferociously militant in the cause of Iranian democracy.
The Integrated Homicide Investigation Team came upon evidence suggesting foul play immediately after Masjoody’s neighbours reported to Burnaby RCMP on Feb. 2 that he had gone missing. On March 6, IHIT investigators assisted by police dogs and a search and rescue team discovered Masjoody’s remains in Mission, about an hour’s drive east of Metro Vancouver.
