Manitoba RCMP Major Crime Services has assisted the Whitemouth RCMP with the investigation into the discovery of remains in a submerged vehicle found in a pond near Molson, Manitoba on Tuesday (June 11).
RCMP say “the autopsy has been completed and investigative steps have been taken. It is determined that Brittany Storey died as a result of her vehicle entering the water. There is no criminality to the events that caused her death.
The family has been notified and ask for privacy at this time.”
“We thank everyone for their care and concern for Brittany and for helping in any way they could to find her,” said Sergeant Laura LeDrew of RCMP Major Crime Services. “It is not the ending any of us hoped for. As this is a non-criminal matter, we will respect Brittany’s privacy and that of her family and will not be providing further information.”
Back on June 6, 2024, at approximately 4:10 pm, Whitemouth RCMP received a report of a missing 29-year-old woman from Winnipeg.
It was reported to police that Brittany Dawn Storey was in the Rennie area on a group chat with friends when she reportedly announced she had struck a tree and the call was lost. Despite repeated attempts, nobody was able to reach Storey on her phone.
Police patrolled the area between Rennie and Winnipeg, including back roads, but there was no sign of Storey or her vehicle. The search had been widened on Monday (June 10) to include the Molson area.
