At approximately 4 a.m., today, Monday, May 6, 2019, police located the bodies of a woman and child, believed to be that of Jasmine Lovett and her daughter Aliyah Sanderson, 22 months, in Kananaskis.
The investigation led officers to a heavily wooded area near Grizzly Creek located off Highway 40, where the bodies were discovered. Autopsies are expected to begin today. Formal identification of the deceased will be done by the Office of the Chief Medical Examiner. The cause of death of both victims is not expected to be released.
A suspect has been taken into custody and charges are pending. The suspect cannot be named by police until charges are officially laid by the Justice of the Peace. This is expected to occur later today, or tomorrow. However, police can confirm the suspect is the same man who was taken into custody two weeks ago.
To protect the integrity of this investigation and future court proceedings, police are unable to release details about what led to the discovery of the bodies.
The pair went missing around April 16 and the homicide investigation began shortly after with investigators scouring the Bragg Creek area for their bodies.
