What began as a missing person search for Canadian actor Stewart McLean has taken a heartbreaking turn. Authorities in British Columbia have now confirmed that investigators believe the television actor was the victim of a homicide after uncovering evidence during their search.
The development has shocked fans and colleagues familiar with McLean’s steady presence on television screens over the last decade.
Missing Canadian television actor Stewart McLean vanished over a week ago
Stewart McLean, 45, was last seen on May 15 at his residence in Lions Bay, a coastal community located between Vancouver and Squamish in British Columbia.
Three days later, on May 18, the Squamish Royal Canadian Mounted Police received a missing person report after concerns grew about his whereabouts. What initially appeared to be a standard missing persons investigation quickly escalated.
According to a statement from the Squamish RCMP, investigators uncovered evidence that led them to believe McLean had been the victim of homicide.
As a result, the Integrated Homicide Investigation Team, commonly known as IHIT, officially assumed control of the case on May 20.
“As the investigation continues to unfold, homicide investigators are working to collect and analyze evidence, review CCTV footage and conduct interviews to build a timeline of Mr. McLean’s activities prior to May 15, 2026,” authorities said in a public statement, Deadline reported.
Police noted that the RCMP continues to work alongside IHIT and the Integrated Forensic Identification Service as the investigation moves forward.
At this stage, few details have been released about what investigators discovered or whether any suspects have been identified. Authorities are asking anyone with information related to the case to come forward.
For television viewers, McLean may be a familiar face even if his name wasn’t immediately recognizable. Sometimes credited as Stew McLean, he built a career as a dependable working actor in film and television productions filmed throughout British Columbia.
His credits include appearances on “Virgin River,” “Arrow,” “Supernatural,” “Travelers,” “Loudermilk,” “Murder in a Small Town,” “Happy Face,” and several television movies. According to IMDb, he had been working steadily since 2015 and was also involved in producing projects.

Previously on Real Housewives of Rhode Island, Alicia couldn’t get past Liz snapping at her. She also couldn’t bring herself to tell Rulla about the video. Meanwhile, Rosie extended an olive branch and invited Kelsey over to cut her hair again, putting the house plans on display. But Kelsey beat her to the joke, driving up with a siren calling herself the “house police.” They got into RHORI’s worst fight yet, and Rosie called Kelsey a “slam pig.” While I left this fight Team No One, it seems social media declared Rosie the winner. Will the fans still be Team Rosie after Round Two?
What happened on Real Housewives of Rhode Island Episode 9?

On Real Housewives of Rhode Island Season 1 Episode 9, “Questionable Behavior,” Rosie and Kelsey fight again at Jared’s trivia night. Alicia tries to get Billy to take her seriously and give her stake in Pizza Mamma. Rulla skips both cast events- seriously, how did she get second chair at the reunion? On the way to Rich’s gig, Alicia and Liz come to blows over the “homeless” comments. When Jo-Ellen gets in the middle, Liz redirects her wrath.

A shaken Kelsey drives away from Rosie’s house and immediately calls Liz. She’s furious at Rosie’s claims she “f*cks married men” and didn’t legitimately win Miss Rhode Island. She claims she’s only slept with six men, none of whom were married. Kelsey alleges that Rosie didhave an affair with that basketball coach, and can only afford her house because he paid her off.
Rosie calls Ashley while she and Jared are shopping for Audrey’s trivia night. When Ashley asks if Kelsey meant it as a joke, Rosie lies and says no. She won’t go to trivia if Kelsey is there. Jared points out this unfairly puts Ashley in a tough position.
Later on, we learn Rosie also called … Jo-Ellen! Remember when they seemed like RHORI’s biggest rivals? When Liz learns about this, she makes a long-winded banana peel metaphor, which a producer translates to mean Jo-Ellen plays both sides.
Alicia continues to hang out with Rulla but not tell her about the video. On the beach, she also shows off the results of Jane’s Fonda.
Rulla gets emotional about Brian’s betrayal, admitting she didn’t see it coming because he used to worship her. Alicia has empathy because it reminds her of her mom going back to her father a few times. But unlike her mom, Rulla is financially independent. Alicia isn’t. Rulla advises Alicia to advocate for herself and ask for a stake in Pizza Mamma. Alicia shares that Celina is at a girl empowerment camp … which she needs herself.
They run into Amanda, Jo-Ellen’s neighbor … who doesn’t speak to her after a falling out. Rulla uses this to argue Jo-Ellen is the problem. I’m not shocked Jo-Ellen has a feud with her neighbor. But Rulla, Brian admitted to secretly getting you drunk when you first met. That’s horrifying! He’s the problem!
“Jo-Ellen thinks she’s being a detective, but she’s really just a douche,” says Rulla, which is a good line.
It’s a RHORI triple date night

Kelsey and Bill go on their first triple date with Gary, Jo-Ellen, Gerry, and Liz. When Jo-Ellen shares Rosie’s side of the story, Kelsey reveals Rosie called her career “d*ck sucking” (it’s not a career, she only sucks Bill’s and does it for free). After doing a Rosie impression (not great, Liz’s was better), she tells everyone Rosie called her a “slam pig.”
We learn the definition of slam pig is “a promiscuous woman, usually overweight and ugly, who is only used for pumping and dumping.” Later, Alicia claims her mom made it up (probably not, argues Liz, if it’s on Urban Dictionary). Liz doesn’t care for these slut-shaming terms, and I agree!
Then Kelsey asks the group if it’s weird her ex is still paying for stuff. They don’t think so, but Bill (and her mom) don’t like it. When asked if she has to do anything in return, Kelsey jokes that she has to blow him once a week. Another joke that doesn’t land. I have a feeling standup comedy wasn’t her talent in the pageant.
Kelsey jokes about not wanting to be “homeless” like Alicia. Because Gary also grew up with Alicia, Liz asks him to confirm she was never homeless.
What is the name of that big blue bug?

Ashley hopes for no drama at Audrey’s Trivia Night … good luck! The place is packed, so either it’s more successful than Ashley thinks, Rhode Islanders really love trivia, or the locals knew RHORI would film that night. Alicia loves it, even if she calls it “Aubrey’s.”
Kelsey waltzes wearing a Miss Slam Pig sash and tiara, announcing, “She’s beauty, she’s grace, she’s Miss Slam Pig United States.” I winced, and agree with Ashley that Kelsey can’t pull the joke off. But another trivia guest found it hysterical.
Alicia defends Rosie, Jo-Ellen plays both sides, and Liz is Team Kelsey. When Liz questions Jo-Ellen and Rosie talking, Jo says, “I share memes” (get ready to see that quote everywhere). As Jared asks what the name of Rhode Island’s big blue bug is, they start to argue. Ashley tries to cut down the tension by asking if they know the name of the big blue bug.
Rosie and Kelsey immediately start yelling and mocking each other. At one point, the others hide under the table. Rosie calls her a loser and Kelsey says she’s a proud slam pig, “oink oink motherf*cker.” Onlookers start filming with their phones.
Ashley finally clocks in as a Housewife and yells, “Whooooo’s tired of f*cking fighting and yelling allllll the time! Hooooly sh*t!” She also cries, of course.
Rosie feels ganged up on again and is tired of the group coddling Kelsey. She storms off saying, “the clique needs to stop cliquing.” An embarrassed Ashley starts crying again, but at least she gets a trivia question right.
Will Billy give Alicia the stake in Pizza Mamma she deserves?

Alicia takes Rulla’s advice and gives Billy a presentation of a business plan for Pizza Mamma, laid out on a Science Fair board and a powerpoint (but she needs him to plug in the HDMI). It’s like a scene from Clueless, not just because she wears a sweater vest and blouse reminiscent of one of Cher Horowitz’s iconic costumes.
Alicia reveals that she came with the name Pizza Mamma, and her decor is what sets it apart. For new ideas, she has plans for new uniforms, year-round heart-shaped pizzas, adding personalized “Mamma’s notes,” and making pizza boxes look like gift boxes at Christmas.
Billy likes her ideas, but he also laughs, especially when he says that no, he doesn’t trust her with “business stuff.” Later, he gets defensive when she says he doesn’t trust her. He assures her that he will have an estate plan and money manager for her and Celina if he passes away. But Alicia is still afraid he’ll leave her like her dad did. For now, she gets a win, as Alicia writes up a contract (with a bedazzled pen) that states she’ll get 10% of his share if they open another Pizza Mamma (but only if she works, she insists).

Rosie invites all the girls (minus Kelsey) to Rich’s Frank Sinatra show in Boston, a daunting 45-minute drive away. Fun fact: when Rosie was first crushing on Rich, she played a groupie in his low budget music video. Rich says he doesn’t want drama … again, good luck!
Jo-Ellen carpools with Liz and Alicia, and there’s plenty of slapstick comedy as they take the charcuterie board to go.
Alicia mentions talking with her mother about her rough childhood, and Liz once again insists she was never homeless. Alicia admits she might’ve used the wrong word, but she was trying to share how it felt. And instead of listening, Liz “dissected” what she said and showed her “true colors.” Liz insists she didn’t dissect anything and her “true colors are beautiful.” Anyone else keep thinking about Demi and Bret singing “True Colors” on Secret Lives of Mormon Wives? Just me?
It seems that Liz thought she was protecting Alicia, and was worried her comments would get backlash. I wonder how she feels now that Alicia is the RHORI fan favorite. But she keeps yelling about it, and brings Alicia to tears. There’s a lot of “I’m sorry, but” with Liz. While she wasn’t wrong to call out Alicia’s misuse of the word (and that Alicia’s family wouldn’t like she said that) it’s hard not to feel bad as Alicia starts crying because she feels like Liz is invalidating her childhood pain. Liz needs to let the mouse go.
Jo-Ellen tries to play mediator, but Liz calls her “phony” after she laughed at the idea of Alicia being homeless at dinner. Anger brews between the besties as Alicia keeps crying. Jo-Ellen tries to get Alicia to have a cracker to feel better, and we leave on “To be continued…”

Livvy Dunne embraced the ultimate minimalist fashion trend with a cozy new mirror selfie. Posing inside a bright room, the star athlete traded her usual red carpet dresses and gymnastics leotards for a plush, bright white spa bathrobe. Moreover, the oversized robe features a classic folded collar that frames her face beautifully.
Her beauty choices perfectly matched the relaxed, fresh-faced aesthetic. Dunne pulled her signature bright blonde hair back, away from her face, into a neat, high ponytail to show off her features. She also skipped heavy makeup entirely, choosing a natural glow that highlighted her freckles and sun-kissed skin.
To complete the low-key look, she added a hint of subtle bling with tiny, glittering silver hoop earrings. All in all, holding up her iPhone to capture the reflection, Dunne effortlessly made a simple bath essential look the ultimate high-fashion statement.
Sofía Vergara is turning up the glamor and showing some love for her extended professional circle. Taking to social media to share a glimpse of an evening out, the actress looked absolutely radiant in a striking, form-fitting look.
Sofia Vergara keeps it bold in body-hugging dress in new photos
Sofia Vergara posed confidently with two men in a gorgeous, deep royal purple body-hugging dress. The stunning garment features long, fitted sleeves. Highlighting her hourglass figure, the dress draws inward at her hip with an intricate, gathered O-ring detail that creates beautiful, flattering pleats across her waist.
The star beautifully color-coordinated her entire look for the night out. In her hand, she carried a matching leather clutch bag in the exact same vibrant purple hue.
The social media snap gives a fun behind-the-scenes look at her personal life. Smiling broadly, Vergara captioned the sweet photo with, “Always a good time!!! @skechers family,” complete with pink heart and sneaker emojis. Her signature long, caramel-highlighted hair was styled completely straight, flowing down past her shoulders.

Kylie Jenner is heating up social media with her latest effortlessly sultry look, wearing only a bra underneath a plunging crop top that is also see-through. Sharing a candid mirror selfie with her millions of followers, the fashion mogul showed off a relaxed yet incredibly revealing outfit.

Kylie Jenner posed for the camera in what she called her “favorite sexy feather weight summer tank.” The white halter-style crop top features an incredibly low, plunging scoop neckline that accentuates her bust. Because of the top’s ultra-thin, lightweight fabric, the material becomes subtly see-through under the light. This sheerness clearly reveals the outlines of a matching white bra worn underneath for a peek-a-boo effect.
The casual photo highlights how she balances a revealing top with low-key basics. She paired the breezy tank with a pair of loose, low-rise black sweatpants that sit low on her hips, baring her toned midriff.
For her beauty choices, Jenner opted for a clean, minimalist vibe. She pulled her dark hair back into a sleek, tight braid, keeping her face completely clear. Her makeup was soft and natural, emphasizing plump lips and a fresh complexion.
