The autopsy of Loren Donn Leslie, 15, a Fraser Lake teenager murdered Nov. 27 was postponed until Thursday, but the results are not likely to be made public.
RCMP Cpl. Dan Moskaluk said Thursday that "no further updates - even on the autopsy - will be released to the public."
"What we do know is that we have a suspect in custody and the matter is proceeding," said Moskaluk, referring to 20-year-old Cody Alan Legebokoff of Prince George who has been charged with first degree murder in Loren's death.
"What I can confirm today is that the victim and the suspect were known to each other and the two had communicated in the past.
"I can't comment on what their relationship was or how long they had known each other," said Moskaluk.
Loren's body was discovered the night of Nov. 27 following a police check of a suspicious vehicle on Highway 27 and subsequent search by police and a conservation officer called in to assist RCMP.
Her body was found in an area of an older, unused logging road 22 kilometers north of Vanderhoof.
Moskaluk said the conservation officer was called in to assist because RCMP, at the time, thought the situation may be a case of animal poaching.
"In such cases conservation services has authority to search an area under the Wild Life Act."
Legebokoff is in custody on a detention order. That means the accused is denied bail and remains in custody until the matter is concluded, subject to bail reviews in Supreme Court.
His next court appearance is set for Jan. 5 after consulting with counsel.
