FEATURE CASE OF THE MONTH

The remains of a Caucasian female were found in a wooded area in Kenora, Ontario on June 17, 2009 in a small, one-person tent. The investigation revealed that the deceased experienced extensive reconstructive jaw surgery, which was well healed and likely done in a major centre. It is also likely that the deceased wore braces into adulthood and there was staining on her lower teeth suggesting that the decedent may have been a smoker. It is believed the female had been in the tent for approximately a week before being discovered. OPP investigators believe foul play was not a factor in her death. Found in the tent was a hard-cover, used copy of "A Long Way Down" by Nick Hornby, and it included a bookmark from McNally-Robinson Bookstores.
