One year after Russia Nicholson鈥檚 body was discovered in a 91大黄鸭 orchard, there is still very little known about her death.

Nicholson, who was five months pregnant when she was killed, was found near Cooper Road, at the start of October 2017. She had been left in plain view, just feet from the sidewalk, and RCMP immediately said the 23-year-old鈥檚 death was suspicious.

Now, Cpl. Jesse O鈥橠onaghey can only confirm that 91大黄鸭 RCMP鈥檚 Serious Crime Unit is continuing its investigation.

鈥淭here are no updates available at this time,鈥� he said.

In July of this year, Nicholson鈥檚 family spoke to the 91大黄鸭 Capital News during the sixth annual Butterfly Effect hosted by the Central Okanagan Hospice Association.

The family was releasing 33 butterflies to find closure.

鈥淲e are trying to do something positive with her memory today, and it was a very tragic time for us,鈥� Megan Nicholson, Russia鈥檚 cousin, said at the time.

鈥淲e are trying to make good memories together while we honour her, instead of coming together in sad times to remember her.鈥�

According to friends of Nicholson she had a history with drugs, but she鈥檇 been sober for the better part of a year.
