Natagpuan ang isang sunog na bangkay sa Greentree Village Park sa Burnaby, Vancouver, Canada at kinilala ang biktima na si Ma. Cecilia Loreto, ang naibalitang nawawalang Pinay.
Noong March 18 natagpuan ang bangkay, isang araw matapos ipagbigay-alam ng pamilya ni Loreto ang kanyang pagkawala.
Pahayag ni Sgt. Frank Jang ng Integrated Homicide Investigation Team (IHIT), "Our victim, we believe, is Mycel Loreto. Her friends know her as Maricel or Mycel. Our partners from BC Coroner’s Service, they’ve worked incredibly hard to conclusively determine that is Mycel’s body."
Samantala, inaresto naman ng awtoridad ang suspek na si Carlo Tobias, 21, at isang 15-anyos at sinampahan ng kasong first degree murder and indignity to human remains sa pagpatay kay Loreto.
Nilinaw naman ng IHIT na hindi related sa droga o gang ang insidente ng pagpatay kay Loreto at kasalukuyan pa ring inaalam ang motibo ng mga suspek.
Saad pa ni Jang, "If she confided in you, and she offered, she told you about something that’s going on in her life that’s troubling her, all that is important because that really builds the picture that we have. Background stories provide context and help shine a light on the motive of why this happened. We need the public’s help.”
Ayon naman sa Department of Foreign Affairs (DFA), pinag-aaralan na rin ng ahensiya ang insidente.
