Police Farm Search Ends

UPDATE

Police say they have now completed their search of a North Okanagan farm site.

Corporal Dan Moskaluk says all police personnel and equipment from the Southeast Major Crimes Unit have left the property on Salmon River Road.

“The property was turned over to the owners, midday today and it is asked that the media and general public respect the owners property and privacy,” says Moskaluk.

Police resources have been at the 24 acre site since Oct. 19th where the remains of Traci Genereaux were found.

Moskaluk says the investigation into the 18 year old’s death is ongoing.

Nov 8:

Police say their search at a North Okanagan farm is still active and ongoing despite reports that efforts have been scaled back.

Residents of Silver Creek say the RCMP’s mobile command unit along with some white tents and privacy fencing at the Sagmoen property on Salmon River Road, are now gone.

Cpl. Dan Moskaluk says the operation is being continually assessed, and as a result, various resources are no longer required and are being removed from the property.

“This includes the removal of temporary shelters and heavy equipment. RCMP investigators are continuing their investigative efforts at the property,” says Moskaluk.

“The search of the Salmon River Road site remains active and ongoing.”

Police have been scouring the 24 acre property since Oct. 19th, where the remains of 18 year old Traci Genereaux were found.

No charges connected to the discovery have been laid as yet.

“The dedicated tipline remains in place, anyone who may have seen Traci or have any information are asked to call the police tipline at 1-877-987-8477,” adds the corporal.
