KAMLOOPS — The search for a missing 57-year-old Kamloops woman has ended in tragedy.

The family of Sheri-Lynn Bissonnette have confirmed that the she was found dead this morning (Dec. 1), though the circumstances surrounding her passing have not been made public at this time.

“As of right now we have no information to give to the public,” Sheri-Lynn’s son, Trevor Purpur said in a post on Facebook.

“We ask that everyone please respect the privacy of the family as we grieve together during this difficult time.”

On Friday, RCMP said they had new information to indicate that Sheri-Lynn may have been in the Surrey-area, but they did not elaborate further.

Her disappearance led to numerous searches in the Kamloops-area, including by the family and well-wishers as well as the Search, Rescue, and Detection K9s (SRD K9s) of BC.

Sources to CFJC confirmed the discovery of Bissonnette’s body earlier Monday, but no further details were provided. Police have also not yet released any information.

“We would like to thank everyone who actively searched and helped us during the last few days,” Purpur added. “We have no words to express our gratitude for the support this community has shown.”
