Wendy Ladner-Beaudry homicide appeal repeated 7 years after her death

The family of Wendy Ladner-Beaudry made an emotional plea for help Friday morning, seven years after her body was found in Vancouver's Pacific Spirit Park.

"We are suffering, the community is suffering. If you can end that suffering please help us," Peter Ladner, Beaudry-Ladner's brother and former Vancouver councillor, said.

He said the family was renewing a $30,000 reward for another year for information about his sister's death. Wendy Ladner-Beaudry would have turned 60 this week.

"It's tremendously frustrating," Ladner said, standing with his four surviving siblings.

Ladner read a statement from Ladner-Beaudry's husband, Michel Beaudry, who said that he wakes up every day wondering what his wife's killer is doing.

No leads, no tips

Police have spoken to 300 persons of interest over the course of the investigation, but have no leads on the killer. The details of how Ladner-Beaudry was killed have never been made public.

Two years ago the case was handed over to the RCMP's Major Crimes Section, but during that period, they have received no new information or tips.

"We know that someone out there has information they have not shared with police and we're once again hoping that memories will be recalled, said RCMP Staff Sgt. Wayne Clary in a statement released Friday.

"This was a horrible crime that must weigh on a person's mind, whether they know who may be involved in its commission or have information that could identify a suspect."
