NANAIMO – Police in Nanaimo, B.C., say they are investigating the disappearance of a 65-year-old woman and the subsequent discovery of her body as a homicide.
RCMP say Sherry Shelley was reported missing on Nov. 14 but she was found dead later on the same day.
The woman’s remains were found after officers responded to a report of a vehicle on fire in a wooded area near the intersection of College Drive and Highway 19.
Investigators say they are now focusing on any video footage of the woman’s vehicle, a white Volkswagen Tiguan SUV, before she went missing.
Police say anyone with surveillance or dashcam footage of the vehicle in the period between 11 p.m. on Nov. 13 to 3 a.m. on Nov. 14 should contact them.
Investigators say they are looking for footage of the vehicle that may have taken three possible routes — Parkway between the Doumont area and College Drive, Jinglepot Road between Doumont and College Drive and Old Logging Road from Lantzville to Vipond Road.
This report by The Canadian Press was first published Dec. 9, 2025.
