VANCOUVER – Homicide detectives investigating the apparent random murder of Serena Vermeersch are no longer looking for a vehicle of interest.
Earlier this week the Integrated Homicide Investigation Team said they were looking for information on a silver pick-up truck.
Officers say a man spotted near the crime scene drove away in the vehicle.
It is not clear whether they have located the truck or decided it is not connected to her murder.
The 17-year-old’s body was found on Tuesday night near the train tracks.
A man was seen on the tracks at 66th Avenue and Hyland Road between 5:00 p.m. and 7:15 p.m. Tuesday night. He was seen departing in a grey silver Dodge full size 3/4-ton truck with a canopy and roof rack attached.
This vehicle departed westbound on 66th Avenue, made a U-turn at Uplands Road and proceeded eastbound on 66th towards 148 Street.
The man, described as wearing dark clothing, was witnessed walking across the tracks northbound and getting into his vehicle less than an hour before Serena’s body was located.
