Remains Found in Home of Missing B.C. Woman Jessica Cunningham, Mylie Barron Charged With Indignity to Human Remains
Identification awaits confirmation by the B.C. Coroners Service, with investigators still assessing whether the case involves intimate partner violence.
Overview
- Ridge Meadows RCMP discovered human remains Tuesday at a Gillis Place residence in Maple Ridge during the search for 43-year-old Jessica Cunningham.
- IHIT says the B.C. Coroners Service is working to confirm the identity of the remains and to help establish the circumstances of the death.
- Mylie Barron, who police say lived with Cunningham in an intimate relationship, was arrested Wednesday and remains in custody on a charge of indignity to human remains.
- Court records show interim bail was previously denied for Barron, a publication ban covers evidence at the next hearing, and a bail date is set for September 26 in Port Coquitlam.
- Investigators are building a timeline of Cunningham’s last known movements, cordoned off the cul-de-sac on Tuesday, and say it is too early to determine whether the case constitutes intimate partner violence.
