"She was reported missing by her family about a week ago, on or around April 16," said North District RCMP spokesman Const. Craig Douglass. "We are trying to piece together those last days, so if anyone even had a casual bump-in with her at the grocery store please let us know that. We are going to follow up on any tip we receive."
Douglass said Davis's body was found on Jackfish Lake Road on Tuesday. An autopsy has already been conducted and other clues are being checked, although the cause of death has not been publicly disclosed. Very few details have been so far revealed by Mounties in these initial sensitive stages of the investigation. Even the question of whether Davis, 47, was known to police was not directly answered.
"In a place like Chetwynd most people are known to most people including those who are police," said Douglass, clarifying that North District Major Crime Unit from Prince George was leading the investigation in partnership with the Chetwynd detachment and the several officers brought in to aid the local police were not yet fully briefed by the Chetwynd members about Davis and the known facts of the case so far. "Did she have an unhealthy lifestyle? I just don't know. We will learn a lot more about her quite quickly as we investigate this week.
"If there is a suspect, that hasn't been brought to the front of any of our discussions yet," Douglass added.
Douglass said the road Davis was discovered on was an offshoot of Highway 29, on the way from Chetwynd to Fort St. John via Moberly Lake and Hudson's Hope. He could not disclose the manner in which the body was found nor how police came to know of it.
Mounties are hoping anyone with information about the death or Davis's recent activities will call them at 250-788-9221 or anonymously to Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-TIPS / www.pgcrimestoppers.bc.ca.
