Human remains discovered on a rural property near Leduc earlier this year have been identified as a sex trade who went missing more than a decade ago.
The discovery of Corrie Ottenbreit’s remains were made in the same area where three other women’s bodies were found in recent years, adding evidence to suggestions a serial killer may have been targetting at-risk women in the Edmonton area.
Ottenbreit was last seen by her family on May 9th, 2004.
The remains of Delores Brower were found on the same site at the same time as Ottenbreit’s but it took DNA analysis to determine the bones were of two women.
Another two women’s bodies, Amber Tuccaro and Katie Sylvia Ballantyne, were found in the same vicinity in 2012 and in 2003.
The Historical Homicide Unit and KARE, which investigates missing and murdered women in the Edmonton area, are heading up the case.
Ottenbreit’s family has issued a statement, saying they are struggling with the sad news they will never see Corrie again. They say she was a loving daughter, partner, sister and friend.
Their only hope is that someday they will learn more about what lead to her disappearance and death. The family is urgin anyone with information to speak to police.
