UPDATE:
PENTICTON – RCMP confirm that the body of 26-year-old Roxanne Louie has been recovered. They will not say, however, where the body was found. Mounties also confirmed that the suspects, 65-year-old Grace Elinor Robotti and 61-year-old Pier Louis Robotti, are brother and sister.
PENTICTON – RCMP confirmed Monday afternoon that two people have been charged in connection with the death of a missing Penticton woman.
26-year-old Roxanne Louie was last seen on the morning of Sunday Jan. 4. She was a member of the Osoyoos Indian band. The mother of a three and a half year old boy was living in Vancouver but was in the Okanagan visiting.
Her cousin says she was staying at her mother-in-law’s place just before her disappearance. Earlier reports suggested Louie told her mother-in-law that she was stepping out for the night and would meet her family at the airport for her flight back to Vancouver the next day. Louie never showed up.
RCMP say the mother-in-law, Grace Elinor Robotti, has now been charged with second-degree murder. A second person, Pier Louis Robotti, has been charged with interference with a dead body and accessory after the Fact.
