Farm search near Salmon Arm still active and ongoing despite removal of resources

RCMP say the search of the Salmon River Road farm near Salmon Arm remains active and ongoing despite the removal of some resources from the property.

RCMP removed several large tents off the property, which has been the site of an intense search since Oct. 19.

Some heavy equipment has also been removed and the command centre also appears to have been dismantled.

Police and investigators have been on the 24-acre Salmon River Road farm in the community of Silver Creek for weeks.

However, two RCMP trailers remain on the property and an officer parked in a police truck is guarding the barn closest to the road.

Last week, RCMP confirmed they found the human remains of Traci Genereaux, 18, who disappeared from Vernon back in May.

Genereaux is one of five women who have gone missing in the past-year-and-a half between Vernon and Sicamous.

RCMP said it’s working with the BC Coroners Service in the investigation into Genereaux’s death.

Police have not yet said if they are expecting more remains to be found on the property.

Curtis Sagmoen, 36, whose parents own the farm, is in police custody facing numerous firearms charges  relating to an incident in August involving a sex trade worker.
