The area of the motel is not a good place to be out & about after dark FWIW

I'd like to know....does it look like a body they r carrying out???

Yeah, but do they put bodies in the back of SUVs like that? Would they use a hearse, or an ambulance if they haven't been pronounced yet? It would be rather difficult to explain why you had a dead body in the back seat if you were in a traffic stop.

to clear out the photo for those questioning as someone who was worked with alberta MEOs (but not BC coroners)
imo its a body, in a white body bag, in a white transfer sheet, because they didn't want to take the gurney up the stairs. the head is towards the left, and the feet are flexed and towards the right. the body is possibly in rigor. its best practice to not break the rigor prior to the autopsy/external exam. im not sure what the black things are...maybe black bagged evidence/drugs/ID etc placed on the body so you don't have to make multiple trips.
its very common to use a modified SUV. as you can see in the photo, its modified with no back seats and likely a clear plastic shield separating the front. ambulances are high in demand and don't transport people already pronounced dead. if hes already in rigor, no point attempting to revive. its mostly funeral homes that use the classic hearse now, and then again many use modified SUVs because its cheaper/less attention grabbing. businesses don't want you to advertise via your vehicle that one of your patrons died.

'Historic' North Okanagan gathering calls for justice for Indigenous women

A gathering in Splatsin Thursday was a call for justice for Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women, Girls and Two-Spirited People

''She also renewed a call for people to come forward with information on Vernon's Traci Genereaux, who went missing at the age of 18 in May 2017 and whose remains were found in October of that year on the Salmon River Road farm where Curtis Sagmoen was living. Sagmoen, who was never charged in relation to Genereaux's death, was found dead in a Vernon motel on April 10. His death, Leon said, sparks hope that someone out there will be less fearful to come forward with information about the Genereaux case. ''

Remains of missing woman Nicole Bell found on rural Salmon Arm property - Vernon News

Mounties confirm they have found the remains of Nicole Bell on the rural property where Curtis Sagmoen once lived.

“Although it has been established that the disappearance of all five women were not associated to a single serial actor, investigators believe that the primary suspect responsible for Bell’s death is the same as that of Traci Genereaux.”

Genereaux’s remains were found on a Salmon Arm rural property on Oct. 20, 2017 after she had been reported missing on June 9 that same year.

Mounties didn’t specifically name notorious North Okanagan offender Curtis Sagmoen, but he was a person of interest in Generaux’s death. Bell’s family also confirmed to Castanet earlier this year that Sagmoen had been a person of interest in her case.

Sagmoen was found dead in the Tiki Village Motel in Vernon earlier this year. Sagmoen has never been charged in either woman’s death.

Major Crimes said there is not an ongoing threat to public safety as the primary suspect in Bell’s case is now dead.

Additional parties to the offence have not yet been ruled out, and Mounties continue to investigate both Bell’s and Genereaux’s deaths.

Anyone with information about their disappearances or murders are asked to contact RCMP Major Crimes information line at 1-877-987-8477.

...On Saturday, June 21, Leon renewed efforts to find Caitlin Potts and Deanna Wertz, both of whom went missing in 2016, with a grid search of a four-hectare area on Mount Ida in Silver Creek. The area is near the Sagmoen farm where repeat offender Curtis Sagmoen lived, and where the remains of Vernon teen Traci Genereaux were found in 2017.

The remains of Nicole Bell, a Shuswap mother who went missing in 2017, were recently found in close proximity to the Sagmoen farm and the site of Saturday's search. Sagmoen was found dead in a Vernon hotel room on April 10. Police have said the primary suspect in the deaths of Genereaux and Bell are the same person, and Bell's mother previously told Black Press Media that that suspect was Sagmoen.
