Missing person case turned over to IHIT investigators BY CAROL AUN Mission Record
The search for 18-yearold Rachel Pernosky was called off Wednedsay after her body was found. The case has now been turned over to homicide investigators. Police were expected to issue an update Wednesday after The Record’s press deadline. “I can confirm the matter has been turned over to the
Integrated Homicide Investigation Team (IHIT),” said Mission RCMP Insp. Richard Konarski, who declined to provide further information. Please visit www.missioncityrecord.com for the most current details. Pernosky was last seen around 12:30 a.m. on Saturday at her home in the 7700 block of Kite Street.

off and the Mission landfill was closed for several
hours Monday morning as the police investigation continued. Volunteers cleaning up the northeast corner of the highway on Sunday had picked up some clothing and brought it to the landfill, according to police. It was later determined the clothing matched a description provided by the family. The landfill was reopened before noon after police located the items
and were able to determine the clothing found was not related to the case. Mission Search and Rescue volunteers scoured Pernosky’s neighbourhood for signs of the missing teen Monday, and family and friends searched every day, but didn’t find any clues. According to a social media post from Pernosky’s sister, Brittany, “her phone was left at home, and music was still playing.”
