Police are keeping tight-lipped about what prompted the deployment of homicide investigators to a Maple Ridge property this week.

The Integrated Homicide Investigation Team (IHIT) joined Ridge Meadows RCMP at Gillis Place home “gathering information for an ongoing missing person investigation,” Mounties said in a media release.

A portion of the home was blocked off on Wednesday was blocked off by a tent and tarps, and forensics investigators were at the scene.

“As criminality has been suspected, the area surrounding the scene will be cordoned off for a significant amount of time,” police added.

IHIT’s mandate includes high-risk missing persons cases where foul play is suspected.

Police, however, aren’t releasing any additional details — including who they are searching for.
