Dozens of people came out in Nanaimo on Wednesday to say goodbye to a teenager whose death remains a mystery.
Makayla Chang, 16, was found dead in May, more than two months after she went missing. Police are treating her death as a homicide.
Chang was reported missing on March 22. Police had said they believed she could have traveled to Metro Vancouver with a 53-year-old man, Steven Michael Bacon. Police eventually located Bacon and spoke with him, but did not call him a suspect.
