RCMP release pic of car linked to murders
Police seek tips on suspect vehicle, believed to be red Corolla, seen in Chipman area at time
As detectives with its major crime unit continue their investigation into a double homicide in Chipman last month, the RCMP has released a photo of a car that might be connected to the case.
Last month, the force announced it was investigating the deaths of two people found in a burning car the morning of Nov. 25 in the capital region.
“On Nov. 25, 2024, at approximately 8 a.m., members of the Chipman RCMP detachment responded to a report of a vehicle on fire with two people inside, off Midland Road in Chipman,” the RCMP said in a news release issued Nov. 27.
“When police arrived at the scene, they located the bodies of two individuals inside a white Chevrolet Equinox that had been consumed by fire.”
The RCMP said its major crime unit is treating the case as a double homicide.
Police have said little about the case since that time - until Tuesday.
The major crime unit released a photo Tuesday afternoon of “a vehicle of interest” detectives are seeking as part of the investigation.
“The vehicle, believed to be a red Toyota Corolla, was seen in the Chipman area in the late evening hours of Nov. 24, and the early morning hours of Nov. 25,” the latest RCMP release said.
Anyone who recognizes the car, who resides in the area and has camera footage from the night of Nov. 24 into the morning of Nov. 25, or who otherwise has relevant information to call the RCMP's major crime unit at 1-888-506-RCMP (7267).
