Police are now treating the deaths of two people in Dawson Creek last weekend as homicides.
Major crimes investigators from the BC RCMP have been brought in to investigate after the bodies were found in a home in the 1200 block of 118 Avenue on Jan. 14, officials said Thursday.
“While no arrests have yet been made, police continue to gather evidence and progress the investigation forward,” Superintendent Sanjaya Wijayakoon of the Major Crime Section said in a statement.
No further information was released, and while RCMP would not confirm the names of the victims, CJDC-TV in Dawson Creek has reported the victims as Christina Nellis and Roy Isley.
The two were reported as missing by RCMP on Jan. 14 and said to have lived "high risk life styles which has increased the concern for their safety and well being," police said at the time.
"We urge any individual with information to come forward to the RCMP," Wijayakoon said.
