VANDERHOOF — Many residents in the small community of Vanderhoof in central BC are feeling the impacts of the discovery of the remains of Madison Scott after years of the 20-year-old going missing.

From talking to community members on the streets, it seems as though everyone knew ‘Maddy’ or knew of her. Whether it was employees at local restaurants, shoppers at local grocery stores, or even Mayor Kevin Moutray emotions were high on Monday.

The investigation related to the discovery of Scott’s remains is still in its early stages. RCMP do not have any suspects in custody and have not laid any charges.

Police are currently executing a search warrant at a rural property on the east side of Vanderhoof.
