“We need the public’s help in locating the parties she was visiting while in Ontario, as well as two males who were seen with the female inside the club prior to her death,” Det. Const. Jim Woodcock said. “The deceased may have initially attended the club with an unknown female.”

Police are asking that anyone who was in the club Friday night and Saturday morning, especially witnesses, to call investigators at 905-881-1221 ext. 7541.
