A candlelight vigil for Madison Scott drew a crowd almost half the size of the community of 4,500.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Two thousand people filled the field at Nechako Valley Secondary School in Vanderhoof, B.C., Saturday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Scott loved hockey and baseball and attendees were invited to wear jerseys in her honour.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cIt\u2019s the start of the healing journey that we can come together and be there for each other,\u201d Vanderhoof Mayor Kevin Moutray said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Former classmates of Scott\u2019s remember her vibrant personality.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cJust her happiness her whole demeanour of always smiling always and always in a good mood and really just such a spark,\u201d said Michael Simoes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWe were sharing lots of pictures and memories and talking and it\u2019s just a different feeling \u2014 I don\u2019t really know how to put a finger on it,\u201d said Brittany Giesbrecht.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Exactly 12 years after she vanished, Scott\u2019s remains were discovered on a rural property on the southeast edge of Vanderhoof last week.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
RCMP investigators are at the site, and conducting a search of the property through a warrant.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A heavy police presence remains at the property, in the 6500 block of Southslope Road, with an RCMP checkpoint halfway up the driveway.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Scott\u2019s parents said they never gave up hope their daughter would be found.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Scott was last seen around 3 a.m. on May 28, 2011, at Hogsback Lake, which is southeast of Vanderhoof. She was celebrating a friend\u2019s birthday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
When the 20-year-old didn\u2019t return home, her parents drove to the lake the next day and found her truck with her purse still inside, as well as a flattened tent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cOur initial search efforts were around the lake and the trails and what was significant on that first day was the lack of clues other than the truck and tent located,\u201d said Chris Mushumanski with Nechako Valley Search and Rescue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWe were deeply disappointed that we didn\u2019t find her in those first few days,\u201d added Mark Durupt of Nechako Valley Search and Rescue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The rural property where Scott was found is about 18 kilometres away from Hogsback Lake.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
RCMP officials have said the rural property search is ongoing and \u201cwill take as long as is required.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Foul play has not been ruled out in Scott\u2019s death and no charges have been laid.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
