Investigators continued scouring the bushes of Pacific Spirit Park on Sunday for clues that could lead to the arrest of the person who murdered Wendy Ladner-Beaudry.
And women who, like Ladner-Beaudry, love the park and use it regularly are now taking steps to keep themselves protected.
"I go running here as well pretty often . and it just makes you think because I always feel safe, or have felt safe until now," said one woman.
One said she brought her dogs with her while visiting the park, while another carried a whistle.
The 53-year old was brutally murdered on a popular jogging trail in the middle of a sunny day on Friday, and the police are urging women to take extra care.
"We have not been able to eliminate the possibility that this could be a stranger on stranger homicide. It's certainly concerning. The public needs to be aware of that and take the appropriate steps to ensure their safety when on this nature trail or any nature trail," said RCMP Corp. Peter Thiessen
While Ladner-Beaudry's family mourns their tragic loss, they're calling for an end to senseless violence and at the same time drawing attention to the problem of violence against women.
Her brother, former mayoral candidate Peter Ladner, asked for witnesses to come forward.
"We would ask anyone with any information to tell police and help us take back our park for the enjoyment of everyone, especially women," he said.
The integrated homicide investigation team isn't confirming if it has any suspects, only saying evidence collected from the scene is still being processed. And while the unsolved murder weighs on the minds of tight-knit community -- women are refusing to bow to fear -- saying they'll continue walking these trails.
