INDEPTH: Edmonton's murdered women
The body of Bonnie Lynn Jack, 37, also known as Bonnie Lynn Loyie, was discovered by a young couple out for a walk near Sherwood Park.
According to a police statement issued Friday, Jack lived "a high risk lifestyle, including activities in the sex trade," and had ties to both Edmonton and Vancouver.
Jack's death is being treated as a homicide and the investigation is being led by the RCMP-led Project Kare task force.
Her case is similar to 26 other deaths in the Edmonton area in the past 23 years.
Police said that Jack was a mother, but would not say how many children she had. The last time Jack was in touch with her family was about two months ago.
Her relatives are said to be devastated.
RCMP are appealing to the public for any information regarding contact or sightings of Jack.
