SALMON ARM, B.C. — It’s been ten years since Pamela Jones was killed, and police and her family are hoping the anniversary may spark some new tips into the case.

On August 11, 2011 at 5:30 p.m., RCMP was called to Pamela Jones’ home in the 4700 block 10th Ave. SE in Salmon Arm.

“When officers arrived, they found her face down in the carport of the residence, the victim of homicide,” said S/Sgt. Janelle Shoihet, Senior Media Relations Officer with the BC RCMP.

“The BC RCMP Major Crime Section continues to follow up on all tips and leads in this investigation. The case remains active and on-going,” Superintendent Sanjaya Wijayakoon, Operations Officer of BC RCMP MCS, said. “Investigators believe there are people who have information and/or know what happened to Pamela and haven’t provided that information to the RCMP. Pamela’s family deserves answers and the RCMP is asking people to come forward now.”

In a major effort to raise awareness for victims of crime and justice for his mom, Pamela Jones’ son, Lance Jones, has completed over 43,000 pushups since accepting a challenge last year. Those wishing to join or follow along with Lance’s pushup challenge can do so on his personal Facebook page.
