It has been just over one week since the body of Austyn Godfrey, 25, was discovered at the Glenmore Dog Park and so far no arrests have been made.
Kelowna RCMP were notified of her death around 8:45 a.m. on Sunday, January 16th.
Police say Godfrey's death is suspicious, but no other details have been released.
A makeshift memorial has sprung up at the site where she was found.
A number of flowers and candles have been laid out.
On Saturday, January 22nd, Kelowna RCMP were seen combing the area on foot along Glenmore Road.
The Kelowna RCMP has yet to confirm their search was related to Godfrey's death.
Just one day after her body was found, several friends of Godfrey's shared a concerning screenshot of one of her Snapchat stories.
"Austyn-ann Godfrey sent me this a while ago when she was scared," a friend wrote on Facebook.
The screenshot included a photo of a man, an image of his car, phone number and Snapchat user name.
Godfrey said in the post, that if she doesn't post to Snapchat in a week, her friends should call the Kelowna RCMP because the man "has probably done something to me."
Godfrey was from Kingston Ontario but had spent several months in Kelowna.
Family and friends have started a fundraiser to help cover the costs of bringing her body home.
$7,766 has been raised to date.
Anyone who may have had any contact with Austyn Godfrey in the days and hours leading up to 8:30 a.m. on Jan. 16, is asked to call a police tip line at 250-470-6236.
