Investigators also released a photo of her, taken the day prior to the assault, in hopes someone may have had contact with her in the hours prior to the assault, or may have information leading to the identification of the suspect or suspects.

“We still have many questions surrounding Jelisa’s activity leading up to her discovery,” says Staff Sgt. Sean Gregson of the Calgary Police Service Homicide Unit.

“We are hoping to gain answers following the autopsy, which may shed some light on the injuries she sustained and what caused her death.”

The autopsy is scheduled to take place on Thursday.
