The Integrated Homicide Investigation Team (IHIT) is trying to figure out what led to the death of a 41-year-old woman whose burned remains were found in North Vancouver last November.
Lisa Dawn MacPherson’s burned body was found in a shelter along the Bridgeman North Trail near Lynn Creek and Keith Road before 10 a.m. on Nov. 28.

Investigators say MacPherson was last seen on Nov. 24 in North Vancouver.
MacPherson is described as Caucasian, 5’04”,130 pounds, with blue eyes and shoulder-length blonde hair.
She led a transient lifestyle and did not have a fixed address at the time of her death.
“There are going to be a lot of people in the North Shore community that live that same lifestyle,” Cpl. Meghan Foster with IHIT said. “Those are the ones we are reaching out to and looking to speak with because they are going to be the ones who have the information we are looking for.”
Foster says MacPherson has a criminal record of driving-related offences dating back to 1992.
