The Province

One year after Gaganpreet Suveen Sandhar disappeared, his clothes still hang in his closet. His bed is made. His computer stands untouched on his desk. And his family continues to wait.

"We want him to come home. We want to know what happened," said his sister, Randeep. "It doesn't feel right to act like he's not out there."

Today marks one year since the 17-year-old North Surrey Secondary student was involved in a street-racing accident that damaged his dad's Toyota Corolla.

After the crash, Sandhar met some friends in a restaurant parking lot in Surrey. He stayed until 1:30 a.m. before driving a friend home. Sandhar later called the friend to say he had arrived home himself.

"He called to say I'm here, I'm OK. But he didn't actually go home," said Randeep.
