THE Integrated Homicide Invsetigation Team (IHIT) announced on Friday that it has taken conduct of a missing person investigation that began in February.
On February 23, Navdeep Kaur, 28, of Surrey, was reported missing by her family, to the Surrey RCMP. After an extensive investigation by the Surrey RCMP’s Missing Persons Unit, evidence was collected that has led investigators to believe that Kaur may be a victim of foul play.
As a result, the Integrated Homicide Investigation Team (IHIT) has taken conduct of the investigation and will be working closely in partnership with the Surrey RCMP, the Integrated Forensic Identification Section and the BC Coroners Service to advance the investigation.
Navdeep Kaur was last seen on February 22 at 10:30 p.m. in the 7800-block of 123 Street, in Surrey. She is described as South Asian, 5’5, 125lbs, with long black hair and brown eyes.
IHIT is the largest homicide unit in Canada, responsible for investigating homicides, suspicious deaths, and high-risk missing persons where foul play is suspected.
“Investigators are working to learn as much as possible about Navdeep, and her movements leading up to her disappearance on February 22,” said IHIT Cpl. Esther Tupper. “We’re asking anyone who has had recent contact with Navdeep, or anyone with information, to please call IHIT immediately.”
