Summary
A woman in her thirties, of African descent, was found dead in Vancouver’s English Bay in September 2022—with no ID, a kayak nearby, and candy and insulin in her backpack. Despite nationwide searches, no missing person matches her. Now, forensic pollen analysis on her sweater and backpack points strongly to Seattle or Portland, with almost no Vancouver pollen detected—suggesting she hadn’t spent much time in the city before her death. Vancouver police are partnering with Seattle authorities, releasing new evidence and holding a news conference to spark recognition and bring closure to her family.
