Charge laid in relation to the Trina Hunt investigation

Lower Mainland District, Integrated Homicide Investigation Team

File # 2021-119

Background:

On January 18, 2021, 48-year-old Trina Hunt was reported missing to the Port Moody Police Department. An extensive search was conducted by police, Trina’s family and members of the community.

On March 29, 2021, investigators located a body near Hope, south of Silver Creek. A few weeks later, the Integrated Homicide Investigation Team (IHIT) confirmed the remains were that of Trina Hunt.

IHIT worked in partnership with the Port Moody Police Department, the Integrated Forensic Identification Services, the BC Coroners Service and E Division RCMP support units to advance this investigation which has spanned just over four years.

Update:

On February 4, 2025, the BC Prosecution Service approved one count of indignity to human remains against 52-year-old Iain Hunt. This charge occurs when a person neglects to perform their legal duty to bury a dead human body, or if a person interferes in an improper, indecent or undignified way with a dead human body or human remains. Mr. Hunt was the husband of Trina Hunt.

The laying of a charge does not dilute the loss and pain endured by Trina’s family and friends, says Sgt. Freda Fong of IHIT. There is still a long road ahead as the community continues to heal from her tragic death.

However, today’s outcome is the result of the persistence and dedication by the investigators who were committed to seeing the case through and we must acknowledge this is a step forward as the court process begins.

This case is now before the courts and no further details will be provided.
