Body Found July 24, 1974

On July 24, 1974 the nude body of a young woman was discovered in an isolated area of Naramata, north east of Penticton. Located in the Chute Lake area by two employees of the Canadian Pacific Railway working on a microwave project, the body was down an embankment in a heavily wooded area. It appeared that the body had been in the location for some time as it was in an advanced state of decomposition. The employees were originally attracted to the area by the odour being emitted, thought to be a dead animal. Examination by a Pathologist revealed that the body was of a female in her early 20's, 5'-7" (170cm) tall, 140 to 150 lbs (54 to 68kg) with long light brown hair. Although the cause of death has not been determined, police suspect foul play. This victim is also listed as a Jane Doe. Missing persons reports have never revealed a match for the victim and no person has ever come forward to identify this unknown female.
