VANCOUVER — Human remains found in North Vancouver, B.C., more than two years ago have been identified as those of a 31-year-old woman from Iran.
The Integrated Homicide Investigation Team says the victim was Fatemah Norouzy-Pooresfahany, who may have used the name Sara Norouzy in Canada.
Her remains were discovered near a gravel path in August 2012, but Sgt. Jennifer Pound says the woman is believed to have been alive at the end of July that year and anyone who may have had contact with her should call police.
Pound says Norouzy-Pooresfahany had no fixed address, occasionally stayed at homeless shelters and is believed to have frequented Burnaby and North Vancouver.
The woman was living in North Vancouver with her mother for several years before they returned to Iran.
Pound say that Norouzy-Pooresfahany returned to Canada alone in December 2011 and had minimal contact with her mother, who returned to Canada in September to try and find her daughter.
