Missing Kamloops woman found dead

The body of a missing Kamloops woman was found on Saturday after she was reported missing last month.

Karissa Wilson, 25, was last seen on April 27 and Kamloops RCMP looked to the public a week later to help find her.

Wilson's body was found on May 14, and investigators don't believe criminality was involved, according to a Kamloops RCMP news release.

RCMP have not said where her body was found but previously noted Wilson would frequently travel to Penticton.

B.C. Coroners Service is conducting its own investigation to determine the cause of her death.

RCMP say no further information will be released.
