Tributes are pouring in for Bill Dobbs, the Tsawwassen businessman found murdered in Indio, Calif.
“He was a loving guy,” said Andy Peltonen, general manager of Dobbs’ successful commercial cleaning and maintenance firm, Excelsior Building Maintenance. “He had a passion for life, and a passion for his family and friends.”
Dobbs’ battered body was found beside a road last week, and investigators have been searching for his black 1999 Cadillac Escalade with B.C. licence plates.
The Palm Springs area is a playground for the rich, and Indio is home to two large casinos. Tales of carjackings are not uncommon in the area. Dobbs had a vacation home in Palm Springs, and was scheduled to return home to Vancouver last weekend.
