Tragedy has struck on the Canadian east coast after a body was discovered in a wooded area south of Moncton, New Brunswick which has been identified as 25-year-old Sabrina Patterson, sister of Canadian IFBB Pro Bruce Patterson. Police are trying to determine the time and cause of her death, and are treating the case as a homicide. Patterson, a mother of two, went missing on Oct. 29. Her body was found Saturday, about 20 kilometres south of Moncton, in the Shenstone area. The man who found Patterson's remains had been actively looking for the woman, even as days of heavy rain created cold and muddy search conditions. She was last seen at the Moncton Coliseum and her car was discovered at the Riverview Mall. An autopsy will be performed to pinpoint the cause and time of Patterson's death.
Murder Suspects
At this point no charges have been laid in connection with her death, RCMP said in a statement. But strangely Sabrina’s ex boyfriend Fred Prosser went missing on Monday and was located three days later by police at his home in Shenstone, near Moncton. He was then arrested and charged with assaulting Patterson, allegedly on Oct. 9th. Police have also accused him of stealing Patterson's cellphone in that incident, and of violating a court undertaking barring him from contacting her. A bail hearing for Prosser is scheduled for Tuesday said investigators are still looking for more suspects in Patterson's death.
"As you can imagine, there's a lot of evidence pouring in," he said. "So we'll be looking at many people. But time is of the essence. Right now, (our focus) is to collect all the evidence at the scene.”
Our hearts go out to the entire Patterson family and friends who are dealing with this tragedy.
