Forensic expert called to missing-person scene in northeast Edmonton
Forensic investigators are at the scene of a missing-person investigation in northeast Edmonton Thursday morning.
Police were initially called to the scene Tuesday near the corner of 162nd Avenue and 51st Street, where investigators have erected a large white tent in the street behind a car wash.
Generators hummed outside the plastic canvas tent, which was flanked by two police cars with their lights flashing.
The tent was pitched Wednesday night in what is largely a residential area of the Hollick-Kenyon neighbourhood.
Police told CBC News on Thursday morning the tent is intended to protect potential evidence, but declined to comment further.
Police remained tight-lipped about the nature of the case but have said it’s connected to the disappearance of a single individual.
