VALEMOUNT – Valemount RCMP is renewing its call for public assistance in solving a tragic hit-and-run incident that resulted in the death of Claire Newman, a respected member of the Merritt and Logan Lake communities.
The incident occurred on July 4, 2023, shortly before midnight. Claire Newman, a city councillor in Merritt and the Logan Lake City Council Community Forest President for 14 years, was struck by an unidentified vehicle. The person remains at large despite exhaustive efforts by the RCMP and the community.
Lauren Newman, Claire’s daughter, recently made a heartfelt plea on camera, urging anyone with information to come forward.
