''Speaking to reporters at the scene on Monday, spokesperson Sgt. Joanne Bortoluss said the body was discovered on an off-road ATV trail about 500 metres east of the road.
“The most important thing that the homicide unit is looking for right now is anyone that might have been on that ATV trail in the last three weeks,” Bortoluss said. Police are also looking for surveillance video from the area, she said.
