Remains found not Montgomery

Human remains found in the Prince George area have been confirmed to be those of an adult male, not Natasha Montgomery.

Human remains were found in the Foothills area of Prince George on April 11.

Though there was immediate speculation the remains could be those of Natasha Montgomery, as the RCMP had recently issued a request for public assistance in finding her remains.

But the remains found have since been confirmed by RCMP to be those of an adult male who has been identified but whose name is not being released.

The remains of Montgomery are yet to be found, but the RCMP did say they have received new information since their call for the public's assistance.

"Although these remains are not those of Natasha Montgomery, the RCMP have recently received information from the public of possible locations where her body might be located", says Cst. Lesley Smith, North District Media Relations Officer.  "Officers investigating Natasha's murder would like to thank the public for providing information and encourage anybody with information to come forward and we remind people that the special tip line of 1-877-987-8477 remains active".

The Prince George RCMP and North District Major Crime also would like to once again ask that anyone venturing outdoors be extra vigilant in their observations and report anything suspicious.

Natasha Montgomery went missing in September of 2010.

Cody Legebokoff has since been charged with Montgomery's murder, even though her remains have not yet been found.

Legebokoff was charged with the murder of Loren Leslie shortly after he was stopped leaving a backroad between Vanderhoof and Fort St. James on November 27, 2010. The body of 15-year-old Loren Leslie was then found off the logging road Legebokoff was pulling out of and the subsequent investigation led the police to charge him with three more murders; those of Cynthia Maas, Jill Stuchenko, and Natasha Montgomery.
