Police say Norouzy was last seen alive at the end of July 2012 and her remains were found less than three weeks later.

As well, investigators learned the victim had broken two vertebrae at least six months – though possibly years – before her death, maybe from having fallen on to her bottom or back. As a result, she would have received non-surgical care and may have worn a brace for some time.

Bringing this forward from the UID thread (original link has eroded):

Residents reported that the wooded area, which is cut through by a path that backs on to a Travelodge motel, was known as a site of drug activity and a place where homeless people camped out.

It sounds as though her back injury was quite painful and I wonder if a drug addiction of some sort formulated as a result. Just a thought.

Also bringing this forward from the UID thread, link also eroded:

The RCMP release states she was found at Curling Road and Belle Isle Place - which don't actually intersect, but Belle Isle Place runs in a loop/cul-de-sac just a few meters north of where Curling Road hits the curve.

Pardon my primitive map skills. The red shows the walking path were Sara's body was found concealed under bushes. This is a short path near many residential homes. Since, to the best of our knowledge, no one who lived nearby heard any screams or other indications of violence, I find myself thinking that Sara died elsewhere and was dumped here.

Fresh pleas issued for tips in cold case murder of North Shore woman
It’s one of the lingering cold cases of the North Shore.

"In the summer of 2012, Fatemah Norouzy Pooresfahany, also known as Sara Norouzy, was murdered and her body stashed in a wooded area off Curling Road, in Lower Capilano. Crime Stoppers has issued a plea for fresh tips that might point to a suspect.

At the time the remains were found in August that year, investigators listed the deceased as a Jane Doe. They suspected she was a visitor because the garments she was wearing were by clothing brands sold mainly in Europe. IHIT cross-referenced the victim with missing persons cases in Europe but nothing came up.

Two years later, her identity was still a mystery. IHIT used forensic and anthropological analysis to create a 3D model of her face, which they released to the public in hopes someone would recognize her and come forward, allowing the first big break in a difficult case.

It wasn’t until September 2014, when her mother came to Canada in search of her daughter and a DNA match confirmed the remains were those of Norouzy that the real picture began to emerge."
"She was homeless but known to stay in Burnaby as well as at the North Shore shelter. The 31-year-old was last seen in July 2012 but no one ever reported her missing.

“Since the official identification, police have been moving forward to find whoever is responsible for Sara’s murder,” the release from Crime Stoppers stated. “Police are especially interested in identifying friends and associates of Sara, to determine what led up to her final days.”

Anyone with information about Norouzy’s murder or her movements in the summer of 2012 is asked to contact the Integrated Homicide Investigation Team at 1-877-551-4448 or, to remain anonymous, call Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477

''Norouzy had lived with her mother in North Vancouver for several years before the two of them returned to Iran.
