Police are continuing to warn the public to be vigilant after reopening the park where the body of Wendy Ladner-Beaudry was discovered last Friday.

RCMP Cpl. Peter Thiessen said police have received 110 tips and canvassed over 700 residents in the area around the University of British Columbia's Pacific Spirit Park.

But he said police have been unable to eliminate the possibility that the 53-year-old woman's death may be the result of a random attack.

"The community needs to pay attention to that point,'' said Thiessen. As a result, anyone thinking of jogging in the area is advised not to jog alone and to avoid wearing earphones.

Ladner-Beaudry is the sister of former Vancouver mayoral candidate Peter Ladner.

The mother of two was found slain near a hiking trail at the entrance to the park in broad daylight, prompting a massive investigation involving up to 75 officers from several jurisdictions.

While family and friends continue to mourn the woman's death, other British Columbia communities are feeling her loss as well, especially in Whistler, where the Ladner family's roots run deep.

At the by-weekly Whistler council meeting, a few minutes of silence was held to remember a woman who spent a significant amount of time with her family in the local mountains.

"She spent a lot of time in the community and has many many dear friends in the community,'' said Whistler Mayor Ken Melamed.

Among them is National Ski team coach Rob Boyd. To the Ladner-Beaudry family, he is known as Uncle Bob.

"[Wendy's husband Michel Beaudry] and Wendy would be up quite often with their two girls,'' said Boyd.

"I saw the [kids] grow up together, it's just such a tragedy,'' said Boyd. "It's hard to believe sometimes that she's not going to be coming around the corner, or that I won't be seeing her on the mountain somewhere."

"It's bizarre.''

Boyd's love of extreme, or free, skiing is something he shared with Michel Beaudry. It was something the two men discussed in Whistler just hours before Wendy's body was discovered in Vancouver on Friday afternoon.

Boyd says he saw Michel on the Friday morning just before her body was discovered. He also recalled that Ladner-Beaudry's younger daughter called to say that her mother hadn't picked her up from a swimming class, and wondered if he knew where she was.

At the time of his wife's death, Michel Beaudry had been in Whistler to attend a memorial for famed freestyle skier Shane McConkey. A columnist in the weekly Pique magazine, Beaudry is expected to pay tribute to his wife in this week's edition.

"He's well known. He's been writing for us for three years now,'' said Pique editor Bob Barnett. "He [Beaudry] has a following around the world,'' said Barnett.

In a column to be published in the Pique this week, Beaudry pays tribute to his wife, describing her as a rock and saying he was fortunate to have her as his friend.
