The missing Port Moody woman who sparked thousands of community members to band together in her search has been found dead. Last Saturday, the Integrated Homicide Investigation Team (IHIT) announced it had identified the remains of 48-year-old Trina Hunt. Police say a body was found in the Silver Creek area of Hope on March 29, a small community on

The homicide unit, which takes over in the case of suspected foul play, is treating the death as a murder investigation.
