16-year-old B.C. girl whose body found by dog walker was murdered: police

KAMLOOPS, B.C. – Mounties in Kamloops, B.C., say a 16-year-old girl whose body was found along an undeveloped residential area was murdered.

Police say the victim was identified as a First Nations female from the Terrace area.

The body was found Wednesday by a man walking his dog.

While the autopsy confirmed the death was a homicide, RCMP aren’t saying how the teen was killed.

Police say the girl had been in Kamloops for an undisclosed period of time and had been in contact with associates in the community.

The teen’s name won’t be released until her family members have been notified.
