The remains of Delaine Copenance, missing since Feb. 28, were discovered in Lake of the Woods in Kenora, Ont. Ontario Provincial Police confirmed the discovery March 22. OPP would not confirm if foul play was suspected. A forensic identification unit and the coroner had been sent to the scene at the end of Water St. at the dock. Searches were conducted in both Kenora and Winnipeg, but a ground search for the 16-year-old was called off March 14. The family has asked for privacy to grieve the “devastating loss of their daughter, sister and granddaughter and friend.”
