The Integrated Homicide Investigation Team (IHIT) recently performed a search on Bowen Island related to the case of Jodi Henrickson, a Squamish girl who went missing on the island in 2009.
The search was sparked after IHIT was contacted by a documentary crew working on a film called Finding Jodi, which focuses on Henrickson and her disappearance.
The crew, led by filmmaker Jenni Baynham, had been on Bowen performing their own search for evidence related to the case, and reached out when they believed they'd found potential evidence. IHIT investigators came to Bowen over the weekend and conducted a search of the area that had been flagged by the crew.
"Since IHIT took conduct of this investigation in 2010, we have been working diligently to pursue every investigational avenue available," said IHIT media relations officer Cpl. Sukhi Dhesi in a response to Undercurrent questions about the search.
"IHIT remains committed to finding out what happened to Jodi and we urge anyone with information about her disappearance to please contact the IHIT information line at 1-877-551-IHIT (4448) or by email at [email protected]," added Dhesi.
Foul play has been suspected in the June 2009 disappearance of Henrickson, who was 17 at the time. She attended a house party on Bowen the night of June 19 after arriving from Squamish, and was last seen in the early morning hours of June 20.
