SURREY, B.C. - The death of a 17-year-old girl in Surrey, B.C., has been deemed a homicide.

RCMP were to hold a news conference later Thursday into the case of Serena Vermeersch, whose body was found Tuesday night.

She was reported missing earlier that day.

Vermeersch was last seen getting on a bus at about 8 p.m. Monday, and Mounties are calling on anyone who may have seen her get on or off the bus to contact them.

Police would also like to speak to a man seen on the railroad tracks in a nearby neighbourhood about two hours before Vermeersch boarded the bus and say he was leaving in a grey or silver pickup truck.

RCMP did not have a description of the man but say he may be able to provide some information.
