A body discovered at a rest stop on Highway 7 near Rockwood in 2005 has been identified as a woman who went missing in British Columbia
ROCKWOOD – After almost two decades of mystery, the OPP has identified the body of a woman discovered at a rest stop in Rockwood in 2005.
"Thanks to ongoing investigative efforts, including the use of investigative genetic genealogy, the OPP has been able to identify Tammy after so many years," said OPP detective inspector Randy Gaynor in the release. "There is more to be done – Tammy's family is desperate to find out the circumstances that led to her death. If you know anything, please contact police to help provide resolution to her loved ones.
"I hope her family and friends can now find some closure, nearly 20 years after she went missing," said Porty, who was recently contacted by Gaynor to pass on thanks from the family for his ongoing commitment to the memorial. Penner's autopsy revealed no recent injuries but she did have past injuries to her face in the form of a broken left cheek, nose and left eye socket and would've left her with a visible facial deformity. Penner was believed to have lost two upper teeth on the left front as a result of the injuries and wore a two-tooth partial plate.
