Saying they are getting closer to finding the vehicle responsible for the fatal hit and run that killed 44-year-old Daniel Patrick McAuley, Langley RCMP have released images taken from a security camera of a grey car heading south on 200 Street.
The car was recorded turning from 200 Street onto 24 Avenue minutes after McAuley was struck while walking home on Dec. 20.
"Investigators are hopeful the driver of the suspect vehicle will come forward on their own and provide his or her version of events," a police statement said.
"At the very least, investigators would like to rule this vehicle out as a suspect vehicle."
Investigators are looking for footage from other surveillance and intersection cameras in the area.
The car responsible is believed be a Toyota Camry, manufactured between 2007 and 2011 with damage to its front passenger side.
Police said paint samples have been obtained from the crash site and will undergo forensic testing "to conclusively determine the colour of the suspect vehicle."
The 44-year-old McAuley was walking home around 2:30 a.m. on Sunday, Dec. 20, when he was struck and killed in the 2900 block of 200 Street — a quiet residential area close to where he lived.
His body was discovered by a passing motorist.
Weather and visibility conditions were said to be poor at the time.
There is no sidewalk on that stretch of 200 Street, but there are street lights.
One witness said she saw a vehicle turn around and come back to the crash scene, only to leave again.
Anyone with information that might assist police with the investigation, is asked to call Langley RCMP at 604-532-3200.
