One year later, no arrests in Trina Hunt case yet

Family still searching for answers

Despite a $50,000 reward and the efforts of the RCMP’s homicide investigators, there have yet to be any arrests in the Trina Hunt case one year after the Port Moody woman went missing.

It was 12 months ago that Trina Hunt was last seen alive.

Her husband Iain told police he saw Hunt before he left for work on the morning of Jan. 18, 2021.

Iain said he and Trina were camping in Hope on Jan. 15 as part of a digital detox, which is why she couldn’t be reached.

On March 29, 2021, remains that turned out to belong to Hunt were found south of Silver Creek in Hope.

In June, investigators executed search warrants at Hunt’s former home in Port Moody and the family home of her husband in Mission.

Hunt’s family pleaded for answers, eventually offering a $50,000 reward for information leading to an arrest and criminal charges.

“Since then, we have had no answers, no arrests and no closure,” family members Brad, Jen, Charles and Dianna Ibbott stated in a release from June, 2021.

The family has consistently asked for the guilty party to come forward.

“We know you’re out there and our family and our community will continue fighting for answers. And while, painfully, nothing will bring our Trina back, we will get Justice for Trina, we promise. Trina and all women deserve nothing less,” the statement read.

Anyone with information is asked to call police at 1-877-551-4448 or send an email to ihitinfo@rcmp-grc.gc.ca.

A chiropractor and a folk singer, after having one great kid, decided to push their luck and have one more, a boy they named Jeremy Shepherd.

Shepherd grew up around Blue Mountain Park in Coquitlam, following a basketball around and trying his best to get to the NBA (it didn’t work out, at least not yet).

With no career plans after graduating Porter Elementary school, Jeremy Shepherd pursued higher education at Como Lake Middle School and eventually, Centennial High School.

Approximately 1,000 movies and several beers later in life, Shepherd made a change.

Having done nothing worth writing, he decided to see if he could write something worth reading.

Since graduating journalism school at Langara College, Shepherd has been a reporter, editor and, reluctantly, a content provider for community newspapers around Metro Vancouver for more than 10 years.

He worked with dogged reporters, eloquently indignant curmudgeons and creative photographers, all of whom shared a little of what they knew.

Now, as he goes about the business of raising two fascinating humans alongside a wonderful partner, Shepherd is delighted to report news and tell stories in the Tri-Cities.

He runs, reads, and is intrigued by art, science, smart cities and new ideas. He is pleased to meet you.
