Human remains found on 145 route
Hey,
My dad told me today that they found human remains on the 145 route right off Burnaby mountain on Gaglardi Way. My friend also told me that the remains were all chopped up....
Anyone know anything else about this?
I can't find any information on the internet...
So freaky..

Presence of arson specialist, sniffer dog shows accelerant used

A body found on Burnaby Mountain appears to have been burned.
A couple out for a walk Saturday afternoon discovered the corpse in a grove of evergreens along a 50-metre-wide strip of winter-bare deciduous forest between Gaglardi Way and Ash Grove Crescent.
Police are releasing little information, but the presence at the scene yesterday of Surrey fire Insp. Paul Mahil -- an arson specialist -- with an arson-sniffing black Lab dog, plus the fact police weren't entirely sure yesterday whether the victim was male or female, indicates an accelerant was used in the crime.
"I know that a Surrey Fire Department vehicle was on scene, but in what capacity I don't know," said Cpl. Dale Carr, spokesman for the Integrated Homicide Investigation Team.
Forensic investigators were working under a blue tarp yesterday about 15 metres into the forest from the crescent, a road accessing residential complexes down the hill from Simon Fraser University.
"It is very scary, and it is unusual in this lovely neighbourhood," said Iva Vincalek, who lives in Finch Court, a complex just below the site where the body was found. She and her husband have daughters aged three and 14, and a son, 11.
"I just told them [children], when I found out what was going on, that there's no more playing in the woods."
Police who responded to the call about the body on Saturday quickly realized the victim had met with foul play, said Carr.
When asked how long the body may have been at the site, Carr said it was "relatively fresh." But investigators were still not positive yesterday whether the body was male or female, because of the condition of the remains, Carr said.
Investigators went door-to-door asked neighbours if they'd seen or heard anything suspicious the night before the corpse was discovered, said resident Brenda McIntyre, a mother of a baby girl and two-year-old boy.
"They told us that it did not appear to be someone from this area, that it was somebody that was brought here and dumped, which kind of made us feel better, with two kids."
Carr said it has not been conclusively determined if the victim was killed elsewhere or in the bush where the body was found.
An autopsy is planned for today, at which point investigators hope to learn whether the victim was male or female.
Paths that wind through the strip of forest are used mostly by locals, often for walking dogs, neighbours said.
