Remains found on farm were those of missing girl

RCMP have identified the remains of a young woman that were found on a farm that is the subject of a large-scale search.

Police said no charges have been laid in connection with the Traci Genereaux’s death, which is being treated as suspicious.

An autopsy has been completed, but the results are not being released, the RCMP said in a news release Wednesday evening.

Darcy Genereaux previously said his daughter went missing in May and the RCMP asked him for a blood sample last week.

Police said the victim’s family has been notified and they’re being offered support from victim assistance workers.

Mounties began searching a rural property near Salmon Arm last month and announced the discovery of human remains on Oct. 21.

The investigation of the 10hectare property located on Salmon River Road is ongoing and police said they’re working to establish a timeline of Traci Genereaux’s whereabouts on the days leading up to May 29 when she was last heard from in Vernon, B.C.

Her father has described Genereaux — who he said would have turned 19 on Oct. 4 — as artistic, funny and loud.

“She got out of her bad decisions, got back to being happy and she was the life of the party. She didn’t need a party, she was just the life of it,” he said in an interview earlier this week.

RCMP have said five women have gone missing in the same area of the north Okanagan in the past 20 months.
