| quote: | | OTTAWA — Ottawa Police are investigating the theft of proceeds from the sale of tickets to last weekend’s Escapade Music Festival, the Citizen has learned. Police are expected to issue a warrant Wednesday for Nick Vachon, 26, one of the founding partners of DNA Presents, the company that staged the two-day festival. Vachon has not been seen or heard from since early Monday morning, when the proceeds from the festival’s ticket sales were discovered missing. A safe at festival venue Ottawa Stadium was found empty early that morning by some of the other DNA partners. It is believed that more than $600,000 is missing. “I am heartbroken,” said Michael O’Farrell, one of five partners in the company. “This just crushed us, we can’t believe it. We had such a great event and now this happened. I don’t even know how to cope with it right now,” said O'Farrell. About 15,000 people attended the electronic music festival over its two days.
