Trina Hunt was a deeply loved, highly respected woman living in Port Moody, British Columbia. She was fun, kind, generous and had a zest for life that most people don’t have. She was married to a man named Iain Hunt, and based on the reporting there didn’t appear to be any major issues in the relationship. However, on January 18th, 2021, he reported her missing after returning from work and not being able to find her. As HIS story goes, he and Trina went to a campsite on January 16th together and didn’t bring their phones because they were doing a “digital detox.” Nobody knows what the couple did on the 17th, because unfortunately, Iain has been super vague about the details… Police and volunteers searched high and low for her, and then, over 2 months later, her remains were uncovered near the area of the campsite they visited that weekend. Is it just a terrible coincidence her remains were found where he said they last visited... or is he responsible?
