Investigators can now confirm that the body located on Friday morning, off Highway 19, between Courtenay and Campbell River is that of 33 year old Elizabeth Marie LAGIS. 

Ms. Lagis, a resident of Kingcome Inlet, was last seen on March 6th, 2012, in Campbell River.  Her family reported her missing to Campbell River RCMP on March 7th, after she failed to contact them, and missed a medical appointment. 

Investigators with the Vancouver Island Integrated Major Crime Unit (VIIMCU), the Comox Valley and Campbell River RCMP Detachments, RCMP Forensic Identification Section, and the BC Coroners Service continue to probe the circumstances surrounding this death.

A time and cause of death are yet to be determined by the BC Coroners Service.

No further details will be released at this time.

Anyone who saw Elizabeth Lagis in Campbell River on March 6th, between 10:00 p.m. and 2:00 am (March 7th) is asked to call the Campbell River RCMP at 250-286-6221. 

Investigators are also interested in speaking with anybody who witnessed anything suspicious on Highway 19, near Hamm Road, during these times.
