Police have confirmed that the human remains found at the home of a missing Maple Ridge, B.C., woman were, in fact, those of Jessica Cunningham.
Cunningham, 43, was last seen in June and reported missing in July.
Police descended on her home on Aug. 26, where they discovered the remains. Her partner, Mylie Barron, was arrested the same day and charged with indignity to human remains.

IHIT has said it’s too early to determine whether Cunningham’s case involves alleged intimate partner violence.
Police won’t say how long Cunningham’s remains were in the home before they were discovered, or whether investigators had searched the property earlier in the missing persons investigation.
Friends and supporters held a vigil for Cunningham outside her Gillis Place home on Sunday evening.
