Approaching the 10-year anniversary of her daughter乌鸦传媒檚 death, a burning question remains for Carmen Perron: what happened to Ashley Chauvin in the hours and days before she was found lifeless on a South Surrey riverbank?

乌鸦传媒淚乌鸦传媒檓 still aching to find answers,乌鸦传媒� Perron told Peace Arch News.

乌鸦传媒淪omebody乌鸦传媒檚 gotta have some answer, or know something or saw something.乌鸦传媒�

Chauvin乌鸦传媒檚 body was discovered on a walking path adjacent to the Nicomekl River on July 19, 2012, by a man who was in the area scoping out fishing spots. It was the same day that a friend reported the 20-year-old missing, after losing contact with her online.

Officers with Surrey RCMP乌鸦传媒檚 major-crimes unit were called to the scene, in the 15500-block of 40 Avenue, at approximately 4:30 p.m., and police said they didn乌鸦传媒檛 think Chauvin had been there long at that point.

Police also said there was no evidence of foul play 乌鸦传媒� an autopsy found 乌鸦传媒渁 mix乌鸦传媒� of drugs in Chauvin乌鸦传媒檚 system 乌鸦传媒� but described some of the circumstances as 乌鸦传媒渦nusual,乌鸦传媒� and asked anyone with information to come forward.

Perron made her first public appeal a week later, noting that her daughter, who was herself a mother, had only moved to B.C. a few days prior to her death.

When she reissued the appeal in February 2014, police told Peace Arch News that investigators knew 乌鸦传媒渟omeone did something terribly wrong.乌鸦传媒� They confirmed that a person of interest had been identified 乌鸦传媒渨ithin the first weeks乌鸦传媒� following the discovery of Chauvin乌鸦传媒檚 body, and that a Surrey man had been arrested in October 2013.

But while a charge of 乌鸦传媒榠ndignity to dead body乌鸦传媒� had been recommended in connection with how Chauvin got to the riverside, Crown determined that the evidence did not justify charges.

Perron next asked for information in the spring of 2019.

This month, with her daughter乌鸦传媒檚 30th birthday on the horizon (May 18), Perron said she couldn乌鸦传媒檛 let the impending 10-year anniversary of her death just quietly pass.

乌鸦传媒淚 would regret just not mentioning it again, and then finding out years later乌鸦传媒� that somebody knew something.

And while she feels guilty for not being able to help her daughter 乌鸦传媒渨hen she needed me the most乌鸦传媒� 乌鸦传媒� Chauvin is among more than 200 remembered at a site in Sudbury, Ont., where white crosses represent individuals who have died of drug overdose 乌鸦传媒� Perron said she knows Chauvin wouldn乌鸦传媒檛 want her to remain stuck.

乌鸦传媒淪he would乌鸦传媒檝e wanted me to move forward,乌鸦传媒� she said.

Knowing more about Chauvin乌鸦传媒檚 final moments is the missing piece of the puzzle.

乌鸦传媒淚 still don乌鸦传媒檛 have the real closure.

乌鸦传媒淚乌鸦传媒檓 just going on a hope and a prayer.乌鸦传媒�
