  • Body of missing Langley senior found months after she went missing: RCMP

Jane Whitehouse was reported missing on Oct. 25 last year. 

Police said she was last seen that day in the suburb of Aldergrove.

Her empty grey Dodge Grand Caravan was found a few days later.

An RCMP statement says the woman's cause of death is not considered suspicious, and they offer condolences to her family and friends.
