No criminal offence by police in failed search for B.C. woman found dead: watchdog

SURREY - British Columbia's police watchdog agency says officers in an Interior community could have done more in the search for a missing Indigenous woman who was later found dead.

However, the Independent Investigations Office says in a report on the case that RCMP in Vanderhoof, B.C., did take many steps in the search and followed policing standards, clearing them of an offence.
