Homicide investigators are only now confirming the death of a woman from Surrey who was reported missing Feb. 23, 2024. The body of 28-year-old Navdeep Kaur was found this past summer near the Massey Tunnel. RCMP say Kaur’s death may have been the result of criminality. No more details are being released even though the remains were found at the foot of Williams Road in Richmond back on July 23. Still, police want the public’s help in trying to figure out the story behind Kaur’s death.
