Date: 2022-07-14



Police seek public’s help to identify deceased woman



On May 2, 2022, Richmond RCMP attended a marina in the 6900 block of Graybar Road (along the south arm of the Fraser River in east Richmond) where a woman had been located deceased.



Since that time, the Richmond RCMP General Investigation Section (GIS) and the BC Coroners Service have been working to identify the woman without success.



Today they are releasing a composite sketch of the woman in hopes someone will recognize her.

She is described as:



· A Caucasian female;

· 30 to 40 years of age;

· 5’5” tall;

· 90 lbs; with

· Brown eyes;

· Shoulder length, curly dark hair;

· Missing teeth on her upper left side; and

· Last wearing a purple or dark blue sweater with gold threading.



Corporal Ian Henderson says, “We are hoping that by releasing this sketch, a family member, friend or acquaintance will be able to help us identify her. It is important that we find her next-of-kin, so they can be properly notified of her passing,” says Henderson.



The deceased woman was located on an older 40 foot yacht which was in dry dock at the marina.

At this time, her death is not considered suspicious.



Anyone who may recognize this woman is asked to call Richmond RCMP at 604-278-1212 and quote file number 2022-11448.



Should you wish to remain anonymous, call Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-TIPS (8477) or visit them online at www.solvecrime.ca.

She has been identified;


Police in Vancouver say an Indigenous woman last seen in the city's Downtown Eastside neighbourhood months ago is the deceased person found on a dry-docked yacht in Richmond, B.C., on May 2.

Tatyanna Harrison, 20, went missing in late April.

On Saturday, the Vancouver Police Department said in a release that a previously unidentified body discovered in Richmond is Harrison's.

"This is heartbreaking news to everyone who knew and loved Tatyanna, and to the many strangers who came together to search for her when she disappeared," said Const. Tania Visintin.

"Although we are now able to provide some answers, many questions remain, and we will continue to investigate the circumstances surrounding Tatyanna's disappearance."

Harrison was last seen on April 22 at the Grand Union Pub on Abbott and Hastings Street. She last spoke to her mother, Natasha, on March 24 over a text message.

Police say Tatyanna Harrison was reported missing by her mother on May 3.

VPD investigators believe Tatyanna had moved to Vancouver from Surrey for several weeks before her disappearance.

In late June, Vancouver police and Natasha Harrison released a video documenting her last known movements in the Downtown Eastside, appealing to anyone with information about her disappearance to come forward.

The B.C. Coroners Service notified Vancouver Police on Friday that a body found on May 2 in Richmond was identified as Tatyanna's.

A post on Facebook in Natasha Harrison's name said that it was with "heavy hearts that we announce the passing of our beautiful Tatyanna Marie Harrison.

"Tatyanna's bright soul was taken from this earth way too young," it said.
