Search for missing B.C. woman prompts homicide fears

Share On

Police are releasing more details about a British Columbia woman they fear may be the victim of a homicide.

Metro Vancouver's Integrated Homicide Investigation Team says 45 year old April Parisian was last heard from on March 28 and was declared missing earlier this month.

The resident of the Fraser Canyon community of Spuzzum owned a red, 1998 Chevrolet pickup with a camper and may have been with her boyfriend, Paris Margesson, and her brown pug dog.

On April 16, police appealed for help and received a tip just hours later that the camper was in the Abbotsford area.

Officers tried to speak to a man in the camper but he suffered a self-inflicted wound and died a short time later.

Parisian is still missing and the homicide team says it is creating a timeline of her movements and wants to speak with anyone who saw her, her boyfriend, dog or camper between March 28 and mid April.

The Ontario government has announced a new, stricter policy for data centres as demand for artificial intelligence (AI) infrastructure continues to grow rapidly. Under the new framework, new data centres in the province will be required to pay 100 per cent of their electricity costs, while the government will not provide cash incentives to attract these projects. Premier Doug Ford’s government introduced the framework at a time when several Ontario municipalities, including Toronto and Hamilton, had been calling on the province for clearer guidelines to manage the rapid expansion of data cen

He claimed Canada now has the lowest growth rate in the G7, the highest food inflation, the highest debt levels and the second-highest unemployment rate among G7 countries. The Conservative leader also alleged that inves
