Charges Expected To Be Laid In 9-Year-Old Slaying In Port Alberni

Darpan News Desk The Canadian Press, 15 Sep, 2015 12:51 PM

PORT ALBERNI, B.C. — RCMP in Port Alberni, B.C., have called a news conference for later this morning to announce a significant development in a cold case.

A senior officer, along with relatives of 28-year-old Kristy Morrey, will attend the news conference where charges are expected to be announced.

Morrey was found dead in her Port Alberni home on Aug. 20, 2006.

Officers initially believed she had died of natural causes, but one year later they announced the case was a homicide, although the cause of death has never been revealed.

Investigators have always believed someone in the Vancouver Island city has information that could crack the case.

In the years after the murder, police also said they were confident that advances in forensic technology could eventually lead to charges.
