The Southeast District Major Crime Unit is calling for the public or anyone who knew Erin Chelsea Borgford to come forward and speak with investigators, as this marks 5 years after her body was discovered.
On September 20, 2020, at 5:14 a.m., Vernon North Okanagan RCMP received a report of a vehicle fire on Louis Estates Road, just off Westside Road. Firefighters, who managed to extinguish the blaze, discovered human remains inside that gray 2014 Nissan Rogue. Front line officers secured the potential crime scene and called for the support of major crime investigators. Following the autopsy and notification of next of kin, investigators confirmed the remains were that of Erin Chelsea Borgford, age 27-years-old, who was residing in Whitehorse at the time of her death.
“Erin was living in Whitehorse and was believed to be driving from the Lower Mainland back to Whitehorse at the time of her death,” says Cpl. Brett Urano BC RCMP spokesperson. “Our investigation is on-going, and we are needing the public’s help to solve this homicide. If anyone interacted with her in the days before her death or has any information about why she came to be in the North Okanagan area or who she may have met with, we are urging you to come and speak with our investigators to help advance this investigation.”
If you have information about Erin’s death you are asked to contact the Southeast District Major Crime Unit info line at 1-877-987-8477.''
