Police have confirmed the murdered woman whose body was discovered in North Vancouver earlier this month is missing Surrey resident Jennifer Ferguson.
Ferguson's body was found wrapped in plastic in a wooded area of Kirkstone Park, just south of Lynn Valley Road, on Feb. 2.
The 40-year-old was reported missing to Surrey RCMP on Jan. 30, and was last seen by her family eight days prior. She was not known to police.
In a statement, Cpl. Dale Carr of the Integrated Homicide Investigation Team said the cause of death is considered "direct evidence" and will not be released to the public.
He added that investigators believe Ferguson was murdered at another location and moved to the park.
Police are still trying to confirm how long Ferguson's body was in the park. Anyone with information who has not yet spoken with police is asked to clal the IHIT tip line at 1-877-551-IHIT.
