Moyan's body was found near the intersection of Highway 33 West and Nickel Road on the morning of Sunday, Sept. 19.

"Retracing Krystal’s movements leading up to her death is one of the priorities for our investigators, and we urge anyone who may be able to assist us with this to contact us immediately," said Kelowna RCMP Const. Solana Paré, in the release.
