Serena Vermeersch boarded a transit bus around 8 p.m. on Monday at the corner of 64th Avenue and 128th Street. Vermeersch's mother reported her missing when she couldn't reach the teen on her phone. Her disappearance was "out of character" and she had never gone missing before, said police.
Search and rescue members tracking Vermeersch's regular route home discovered her body on Tuesday evening in a dense brush area in the 14600 block of 66th Avenue.
"The evidence to date supports that Serena was murdered," said Staff Sgt. Jennifer Pound with the Integrated Homicide Investigation Team at a news conference on Thursday.

Investigators are looking to speak to anyone that may have been on the bus that Serena took and saw her or would have seen her disembark the bus.
Police are also hoping to speak to a man seen on the railroad tracks at 66th Avenue and Hyland Road between 5:00 p.m. and 7:15 p.m. He was seen departing in a grey silver Dodge full size 3/4-ton truck with a canopy and roof rack attached. This vehicle departed westbound on 66th Avenue, made a U-turn at Uplands Road and proceeded eastbound on 66th towards 148 Street.
The man, described as wearing dark clothing, was witnessed walking across the tracks northbound and getting into his vehicle less than an hour before Serenas body was located.
