A 30-year-old man was charged today, Oct. 13, in connection with the murder of a Coquitlam woman who went missing nearly a year ago.
Yesterday, Oct. 12, police arrested Carson Mackay in Calgary, Alta., for the second-degree murder of Jodine Millar, a 57-year-old woman who was reported missing from her Austin Heights home on Nov. 27, 2022.
The Integrated Homicide Investigation Team (IHIT) took lead of the file on Dec. 2, 2022, after evidence showed her disappearance was the result of foul play, said spokesperson Sgt. Timothy Pierotti in a news release.
Officers worked on the investigation with the Coquitlam RCMP, BC Coroner Service and the RCMP Integrated Forensic Identification Section, as well as the Airdrie RCMP and the Calgary Police Service.
“Our investigators worked diligently in their search to locate Jodine Millar,” Coquitlam RCMP Supt. Keith Bramhill added.
“We would like to thank IHIT for their assistance when this missing person investigation turned into a homicide investigation. We hope these charges provide some answers to Jodine’s friends and family.”
Last December, Millar’s daughter, Sara, wrote a letter that was published by Coquitlam RCMP about her mother’s disappearance.
