RCMP have arrested a man after finding the remains of a woman who was reported missing two weeks ago near Fort St. John.
In a press release RCMP say Sarah Foord, 38, was reported missing on July 10. Then on July 13 the B.C. RCMP North District Major Crime Unit became engaged with the case as investigators were unable to rule out foul play. The B.C. RCMP Major Crime Unit, Fort St. John RCMP, Surrey RCMP, Forensic Identification and Forensic Search Units, Police Dog Section and other units from across BC and Alberta worked collectively to try and locate Sarah Foord.
The continued investigation lead investigators to recover human remains on July 24 in a remote location approximately 75 km north of Fort St. John. In consultation with the B.C. Coroner Service, and Sarah’s family the remains were confirmed to be those of Sarah Foord.
The findings from the investigation were provided to the B.C. Prosecution Service and on July 25, 2nd degree murder charges were approved against John Wendell Keyler, 35, for the murder of Sarah Foord. Keyler was arrested without incident and will make an appearance on July 28.
RCMP investigators are continuing to provide updates to Sarah’s family on the progress of the investigation.
