Almost a year after she was last seen, a missing Victoria woman’s body has been found.
Melissa McDevitt, 38, was reported missing on Dec. 10, 2022.
Police say McDevitt’s body was found in dense vegetation within the Sooke Potholes search area by a group of volunteer hikers known as Mindful of Melissa on Wednesday.
“Although a full determination has yet to be made, RCMP do not believe that criminality was involved in the woman’s death,” the RCMP said in a press release.
