🚹 Death of 16-Year-Old Jordyn Dines Under Investigation in Glenwood, Alberta

As police continue to investigate the death of 16-year-old Calgary resident Jordyn Dines, her mother says the circumstances around her death remain a mystery to her.

“I guess the hope is just to have answers. Right now, we don’t really know anything,” Jody Graves, Dines’s mother, told CBC News in an interview Saturday.

Dines was found dead in an abandoned car near Glenwood, a village approximately 215 kilometres south of Calgary, on July 4. RCMP said Dines was last seen alive at Chinook Centre in Calgary the afternoon of July 3, before being found dead the following day.

“We have a lot of questions and no answers,” Graves said.

“We don’t know what made her run away, we don’t know who she was with, we don’t know who drove her out there. We don’t know what happened 
 as a mother, your mind just goes wild with thoughts.”

The Alberta RCMP Major Crimes Unit is investigating the death, which police said they’ve deemed to be suspicious.

Cpl. Mathew Howell, an RCMP public information officer, told CBC News there were no further developments to share about the case, as of Saturday.

He said the Major Crimes Unit handles distributing information on a case-by-case basis, but that generally any new information would be shared with the family prior to being made available publicly.

If the family hasn’t received any new information, Howell said, it’s likely because there haven’t been any significant developments to be shared by investigators.

Dines’s death ‘hard to comprehend’

Graves said her daughter’s death remains a mystery to her as she waits for any new information on what happened to be shared with her by investigators.

“It’s hard to really kind of comprehend that she’s gone, because you just really don’t have any answers,” she said.

“She wasn’t a bad person. She wouldn’t have done anything to anybody to cause them harm.”

Dines, an avid skateboarder and artist, wanted to go to school to become a youth worker, her mother said.

“She’s a good kid,” she said. “She’s kind and thoughtful and compassionate and loving and funny and smart.”

While she hopes to soon find out more about what happened to her daughter, Graves said she understands that because the investigation is ongoing, police might need to keep certain information to themselves before it can be shared with Dines’s family.

The RCMP has asked for assistance from the public in determining what Dines was doing between being seen at Chinook Centre on July 3, and being found dead near Glenwood the following day.

🚹 DĂ©cĂšs de Jordyn Dines, 16 ans, sous enquĂȘte prĂšs de Glenwood, Alberta

Alors que la police continue d’enquĂȘter sur la mort de Jordyn Dines, une rĂ©sidente de Calgary ĂągĂ©e de 16 ans, sa mĂšre affirme que les circonstances entourant son dĂ©cĂšs demeurent un mystĂšre pour elle.

« Je suppose que l’espoir est simplement d’obtenir des rĂ©ponses. En ce moment, nous ne savons vraiment rien », a dĂ©clarĂ© Jody Graves, la mĂšre de Dines, Ă  CBC News lors d’une entrevue samedi.

Dines a Ă©tĂ© retrouvĂ©e morte dans une voiture abandonnĂ©e prĂšs de Glenwood, un village situĂ© Ă  environ 215 kilomĂštres au sud de Calgary, le 4 juillet. La GRC a indiquĂ© que Dines avait Ă©tĂ© vue vivante pour la derniĂšre fois au Chinook Centre Ă  Calgary dans l’aprĂšs-midi du 3 juillet, avant d’ĂȘtre retrouvĂ©e morte le lendemain.

« Nous avons beaucoup de questions et aucune réponse », a déclaré Graves.

« Nous ne savons pas ce qui l’a poussĂ©e Ă  fuguer, nous ne savons pas avec qui elle Ă©tait, nous ne savons pas qui l’a conduite lĂ -bas. Nous ne savons pas ce qui s’est passé  en tant que mĂšre, votre esprit s’emballe avec toutes sortes de pensĂ©es. »

L’UnitĂ© des crimes majeurs de la GRC de l’Alberta enquĂȘte sur ce dĂ©cĂšs, que la police considĂšre comme suspect.

Le caporal Mathew Howell, agent d’information publique de la GRC, a dĂ©clarĂ© Ă  CBC News qu’il n’y avait aucun dĂ©veloppement supplĂ©mentaire Ă  partager concernant l’affaire, en date de samedi.

Il a expliquĂ© que l’UnitĂ© des crimes majeurs distribue l’information au cas par cas, mais que, de maniĂšre gĂ©nĂ©rale, toute nouvelle information serait partagĂ©e avec la famille avant d’ĂȘtre rendue publique.

Si la famille n’a pas reçu de nouvelles informations, selon Howell, c’est probablement parce qu’il n’y a pas eu de dĂ©veloppements significatifs Ă  partager de la part des enquĂȘteurs.

Le décÚs de Dines « difficile à comprendre »

Graves a dĂ©clarĂ© que la mort de sa fille reste un mystĂšre pour elle alors qu’elle attend que de nouvelles informations lui soient communiquĂ©es par les enquĂȘteurs.

« C’est difficile de vraiment comprendre qu’elle est partie, car vous n’avez vraiment aucune rĂ©ponse », a-t-elle dit.

« Ce n’était pas une mauvaise personne. Elle n’aurait rien fait Ă  personne pour leur faire du mal. »

Dines, passionnĂ©e de planche Ă  roulettes et artiste, voulait aller Ă  l’école pour devenir travailleuse auprĂšs des jeunes, selon sa mĂšre.

« C’est une bonne enfant », a-t-elle dit. « Elle est gentille, attentionnĂ©e, compatissante, aimante, drĂŽle et intelligente. »

Alors qu’elle espĂšre bientĂŽt en savoir plus sur ce qui est arrivĂ© Ă  sa fille, Graves dit comprendre que, l’enquĂȘte Ă©tant toujours en cours, la police pourrait devoir garder certaines informations pour elle avant de pouvoir les partager avec la famille de Dines.

La GRC a demandĂ© l’aide du public pour dĂ©terminer ce que Dines faisait entre le moment oĂč elle a Ă©tĂ© vue au Chinook Centre le 3 juillet et celui oĂč elle a Ă©tĂ© retrouvĂ©e morte prĂšs de Glenwood le lendemain.
