“Investigators believe the people in this vehicle know what happened to this woman,” Const. Tania Visintin said in a media release. “We are now asking for the public’s help in locating the vehicle and identifying those involved.”

Neighbour Brent Baker told Global News he didn’t hear anything suspicious, and awoke to a large police presence and a white tent erected in the street.

“After the scene was cleared of the deceased, they washed the streets but you could still see where there was a large pool of blood from the poor lady,” he said.

The woman’s cause of death remains under investigation.

Anyone with information about this is asked to call police at 604-717-2500.
