RADIUM HOT SPRINGS, B.C. – The B.C. RCMP is asking for the public’s help after an Alberta woman was found dead on Thursday, May 6 in Kootenay National Park.

The body of 35-year-old Brenda Ware was found 54 kilometers northeast of Radium along Highway 93.

The B.C. RCMP Southeast District Major Crime Unit has taken custody of this suspicious death investigation.

Police say the investigation has determined Ware was known to have been in Didsbury, Alberta, and traveled to Kootenay National Park, where her vehicle and body were discovered.

Investigators are requesting assistance from the public and information from anyone who saw Brenda Ware from May 4 to May 6 or if you saw her vehicle, a red 2019 Jeep Cherokee with Alberta Licence Plate YPC553 (a stock photo of the vehicle can be found below).
