The disappearance of 17-year-old Jodi Henrickson in June 2009 on Bowen Island has been a long-standing mystery. Recently, the Integrated Homicide Investigation Team (IHIT) revisited the island to search for clues. Gavin Arnott, Henrickson’s ex-boyfriend and an early "person of interest," was dismissive when questioned about the new investigation. Despite recent searches, IHIT has not located Henrickson's remains but continues to follow leads from a cold case team.

Story summary
In June 2009, 17-year-old Jodi Henrickson disappeared after attending a house party on Bowen Island, near Squamish in British Columbia. The Integrated Homicide Investigation Team (IHIT) recently returned to the island to investigate this nearly two-decade-old case. Gavin Arnott, Henrickson's ex-boyfriend and then an 19-year-old, was convicted of assaulting her two weeks before she went missing and identified as a "person of interest" by police at the time. Arnott received a conditional discharge under probation conditions that prohibited him from contacting Henrickson. When questioned about recent searches near his family's property on Bowen Island, he stated there is nothing to implicate him in Henrickson's disappearance. Despite extensive efforts over the years, Henrickson has never been found.
