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.
