A body found 19 years ago in southern Ontario identified as Chilliwack woman – death deemed suspicious
GUELPH — Police say they have identified the body of a woman who was found dead near Guelph, Ont., nearly two decades ago and have deemed her death suspicious.
Ontario Provincial Police say human remains were found by a pedestrian in August 2005 between the community of Rockwood and Guelph, and DNA technology has now identified those as belonging to Tammy Eileen Penner.
Police say Penner, who was from Chilliwack, was 41 years old when she was reported missing to the RCMP in February 2005.
Investigators say she had been living in British Columbia before her disappearance and someone is believed to have had contact with her during her journey from B.C. to Ontario.
