Cross-posting from “CANADA - Canada - Human Foot in size 9½ Nike Free RN running shoe, black swoosh logo, W. Vancouver, Sep 2018”:
“Have there been any updates?”
“Thank you so much for bumping the the thread, Nannbob!
Mr. Charlton with the B.C. Coroners Service sent me an email about three weeks ago. I opened it, meant to post about it and completely forgot
.
Here is what the email said:
“Good morning [me
],
Once again, thank you for reaching out a few weeks ago in regards to the unidentified foot.
Just to let you know, the investigation is still ongoing.” (BBM)
This was March 7th. I just did a quick search to see if there has been an update, and I didn’t see anything.
Also from the email:
“In the meantime, I was wondering if you could do me a favour.
I have been working on an interactive map of our active Unidentified Human Remains cases across British Columbia, Canada, in an aim to try and generate new investigative leads from the public, especially regarding some of our older cases. The application shows approximate locations of where remains were found and information on that case.
It was released publicly a couple of weeks ago, and likely still has some teething problems, but it would be great to get some involvement and feedback on it.
If you could possibly circulate it around the websleuthing community, it would be hugely appreciated, as we believe this application could be vital in generating new leads to these cold cases.
Link to the application is here:
ArcGIS Web Application
Thanks in advance,
Ian Charlton
Spatial Information Analyst
Special Investigations Unit”
Incidentally, I found a CTV article from just two days ago that talks about the map:
“[SBM]
Andy Watson with the BC Coroners Service said the project was motivated by one of their five core questions: who died?
‘This is an important question for us to answer; when we have unidentified human remains, we know there is a family out there still searching for answers,” Watson told CTV News. “And so it’s important for our agency to provide the service to those looking for closure and we do whatever we can to achieve that goal.’
The new map will give viewers a visual overview of the approximate location where human remains are found, along with case numbers and a summary of any key information acquired in investigations.
Watson said the human remains map took about a year-and-a-half for the service’s spatial information analyst Ian Charlton to develop.
[SBM]”
Nearly 200 cases of unidentified human remains mapped in B.C.
I will start a thread where we can talk about the map and the cases shown on the map sometime later today.
