Police seek assistance to identify deceased female

For Immediate Release: 28-Mar-2025 @ 9:53 AM
MRU #: MP25R011

The Edmonton Police Service (EPS) is seeking the public’s assistance in identifying a female who was found dead in central Edmonton in December 2024.

On Dec. 29, 2024, police received a report of a female who was found deceased in a waste disposal bin in the area of Bellamy Hill Road. Surveillance footage from approximately 9:30 a.m. on Dec. 28, 2024 shows the female walking alone northbound up the alley from 99 Avenue between 103 Street and Bellamy Hill, then getting into the bin. Her death is not deemed to be suspicious.

She is described as a 25-to-35-year-old Indigenous female with shoulder-length brown and red hair and brown eyes, approximately 5’8” tall with a slim build. Police have been unable to confirm her identity using traditional methods. As such, the EPS’ Missing Persons Unit is issuing a sketch with the hope that she can be identified.
