The article says that her body was found around 6:30 , but that are asking for any dashcam footage from between 5:00 And 7:00. I presume this means that they believe her body was dumped there shortly before it was found. I that they'd asked for footage up to 30 minutes after she was found.
 
This is such a mysterious case. I am thinking maybe the police have a suspect on their radar bc there is so little media coverage and that they just need more evidence before they can make an arrest. imo

''SARAH RABIK ‘13 1995–2020
Sarah Nicole Natasha Rabik first went to Disney World at the age of four. She found her happy place then and it remained her happy place until she passed away at the too early age of 24 on February 26, 2020. Sarah's home is filled with memories of her many Disney trips. Recently, she attended a seminar for summer jobs at Disney and was very proud that she was the only person there that could answer the question "What is the newest attraction at Disney?" The new movie at the Canadian Pavilion at Epcot of course! Having been accepted for a summer job, Sarah was just about to start a big new adventure in her life.

As her mother often said, Sarah was a complicated kid; there were many facets to her personality. She was happiest when she was busy and always encouraged her friends and family to be busy with her. She loved the mountains around Calgary and was the energizer bunny on the hiking trail and nervous but brave on the ski runs at Sunshine. She loved travelling with friends all over North America to go to music festivals, dining out at her favourite restaurants, Santorini's or Madison's 12|12, and seeing every new movie that came out at least three times!

Sarah was perhaps best known for her style. Her platinum blonde bob sat atop the most perfectly coordinated outfits. Even her hiking boots had a pink stripe that had to be coordinated with her hiking outfits. It was this style that made her so memorable at Calgary shops and restaurants that many clerks and waiters would simply say "welcome back!" whenever she walked in. What people might not know about Sarah is that she had a rigid sense of right and wrong, believing everyone should be treated with respect and kindness. Sarah was also passionate about animals, always choosing to rescue the most helpless. She loved her puppies — Meeka, Vee, Arnold and Chewie — more than anything.

Sarah was a student at Mount Royal University and had volunteered at "Making Changes" — a service to provide clothing for people in need for many years.

Sarah also suffered from anxiety and it often made life challenging for her. This is when Sarah's courageousness shone through — working so hard to overcome her anxious feelings, often saying to herself "I can do this, I can do this". She worked so hard to overcome these obstacles every day, and was the bravest person her family knew. The best memorial to Sarah will be to put in a little extra effort trying to understand, be patient and be kind with others.

Thank you for the update, but oh my, this is shocking and beyond sad.
From link..
''Mounties confirm the victim and accused are related but the exact relationship is not being divulged. According to Sarah's obituary, Debora Rabik is Sarah's mother.

Debora Rabik is scheduled to appear in Cochrane provincial court on Tuesday.

The investigation into the death of the 24-year-old involved members of the Alberta RCMP Major Crimes unit as well as the Calgary Police Service's homicide, missing persons and tech crimes units.''
 
Indignity to human remains?! :eek:

''Charges of second-degree murder and indignity to human remains have been laid after a Calgary woman was found dead last year.

The body of Sarah Rabik, 24, was discovered on Highway 8 southeast of Cochrane, Alta., on Feb. 26, 2020 and reported to Cochrane RCMP around 6:30 p.m.

The victim's death was deemed a homicide after an autopsy was completed on Feb. 27.

The RCMP major crimes unit arrested Calgarian Debora Joyce Rabik, 60, on Friday.

The mother, this is horrific, the last person one would’ve suspected. The additional charge of indignity to human remains is likely because her body was just callously dumped near the side of the highway.

''Sarah's 'happy place'
According to her family, Sarah's "happy place" was Disney World and just before her death she had been hired to work there over the summer.

Sarah loved music festivals and hiking in the mountains around Calgary, according to her obituary.

The Mount Royal University student also volunteered at Making Changes, a service that provides clothing to those in need.

Debora Rabik is in custody and will next appear in court in Cochrane on June 29.

RCMP say they were assisted by the Calgary Police Service homicide and tech crimes unit.''

ETA, RBBM. Tech crimes unit?

Good eye! I wonder if it was learned by CPS that mother and daughter were having some sort of major online conflict earlier on the same day of Sarah’s body being found.
