Courtesy of CBC Vancouver, Thursday February 15, 2001 RCMP Cold Squad takes over Missing Women files VANCOUVER - A special RCMP unit which reviews unsolved homicides will investigate the disappearance of 27 Vancouver women. The women disappeared from the city's Downtown Eastside over the past decade and are feared dead. Wednesday, members of B.C.'s Aboriginal community asked Vancouver police to step up their investigation into the cases. INVESTIGATION STILL ACTIVE At one time city police had nine officers working full time on the high profile "Missing Women" file. Now that special task force is down three officers. Vancouver police Constable Ann Drennan said the investigation remains active despite the reduced manpower. Relatives of some of the women held an annual Valentine's Day march and service in Vancouver in memory of their missing family members.
