THE Integrated Homicide Investigation Team on Wednesday issued an appeal for witnesses on the first anniversary of the homicide of 40-year old Codi Carlyle Rogers of Mission.

On February 1, 2022, at 10:43 a.m., Mission RCMP officers responded to a report that the body of a deceased woman had been found in the Cascade Falls Regional Park. The deceased was identified as Rogers.

The circumstances surrounding the body were deemed suspicious and IHIT was called in to investigate. IHIT continued to work closely in partnership with the Mission RCMP, BC Coroners Service and the RCMP Integrated Forensic Identification Section (IFIS).

IHIT investigators continue to build a timeline of events leading to Rogers’ death. She was last observed on foot, leaving her residence located at Grand Street at 6 Avenue in Mission at approximately 11:30 p.m. on January 31, 2022. Her body was discovered the following morning approximately 22 km away at the Cascade Falls Regional Park.

Now, one year later, IHIT is renewing its request for witnesses who can provide new information to come forward.

“We are thankful to all those of you who came forward over the past year,” said IHIT Sgt. Timothy Pierotti. “But the investigation continues. We’re once again asking for those with information who have yet to speak with police, anyone with new information or anyone who may have seen a suspicious vehicle in the area of Cascade Falls Regional Park on the night of January 31, 2022, to please contact IHIT.”

IHIT is asking anyone with new information about the incident to contact it directly at 1-877-551-IHIT (4448) or by email at ihitinfo@rcmp-grc.gc.ca.
