Another site being scoured after human remains found at rural property in the north Okanagan
VERNON — RCMP were scouring a third area off Salmon River Road Monday afternoon after human remains were found at a rural property a few kilometres away in the north Okanagan. Police were standing guard by a yellow tarp about four kilometres north of the Salmon River Road farm that’s now the subject of a thorough investigation. After a few hours, the tarp was replaced by seven evidence markers and the canine unit was brought in to further examine the site.
RCMP said they will be on the rural property at least several more days, if not more.
“With an investigation of this nature it is difficult to presume what will happen next,” Cpl. Dan Moskaluk said. “At this time we are taking it one day at a time. We are fully prepared to be at that location for several days to come.”
However, police won’t say if they are looking for further remains or remains that are linked to more than one person.
