Residents of southeast Vancouver say they're shocked and concerned by a recent assault on a 28-year-old woman early Sunday morning close to a nearby golf course... The incident is one of many similar attacks on women exercising outdoors in the early-morning hours.

In March a 30-year-old woman was sexually assaulted while she was jogging in Point Grey.

The year before, a woman was sexually assaulted while out on her morning jog around Stanley Park.

"Over the years our investigators have worked tirelessly to find out what happened to Wendy and to solve this crime. We can't do it alone," said Insp. Steve in a statement.

"We are appealing to the public to come forward with any information they may have about this case."

In the eight years since, police have spoken to 300 persons of interest, but have found no leads on the killer.

The details of how Ladner-Beaudry was killed have never been made public, and in 2014, IHIT spokesperson Sgt. Jennifer Pound said the motive was still unknown.

Ladner-Beaudry was 53 years old, a mother of two and co-chair of the B.C. Games Society when she died. Her family has continued to offer a $30,000 reward for information about her death.

What happened to Wendy? Murder of jogger in popular Vancouver park remains unsolved

Wendy Ladner-Beaudry is seen in an undated photo provided by the B.C. RCMP.
VANCOUVER -- The murder of a B.C. mother of two is still unsolved more than a decade after her body was found in a popular Vancouver park.

''Wendy Ladner-Beaudry left her home for the last time on April 3, 2009, planning to go for a jog in Pacific Spirit Regional Park. Her family would never see her alive again.

The body of the 53-year-old was found steps from the park's entrance, on St. George's Trail.''

"Investigators have said her husband was ruled out, but there have been few other details made public. Police have said previously they're not even sure whether her death was targeted or random.

Investigators have not said how Ladner-Beaudry was killed, though her death was described as "brutal" in her husband's eulogy.

She was attacked in broad daylight, and police believe that someone knows something that could help them close the case.''

''The Ladner-Beaudry family has offered up to $30,000 for the tip that leads to the arrest and charge of the individual or individuals responsible.

Anyone with more information is asked to contact E Division's major crime tip line at 778-290-5291. Tips can also be left anonymously through Crime Stoppers.''
