Trina Hunt is spotted on CCTV footage in the retail community. This is the last known public footage of Trina.
Trina texted with a friend in Ottawa, Canada
Iain said him and Trina drove to HOPE, BC for the day to visit a campground they used to goto when they were younger. January 16th 2021 was cold & icy, with cloud, patches of fog and light showers in Hope, BC (a high of 7c, a low of 1 to 2c) - Iain stated that there were no stops and took the gray BMW rear wheel drive 3 series, despite using Trina's larger AWD Mercedes SUV normally at weekends. He stated that there were no phones due to a "digital detox", and that he was not sure of the time they returned by "back in time for a movie"
Two text messages from an old co-worker of Trina's went unanswered
Iain said it was a quiet weekend, when asked about what Iain and Trina did on Sunday, the answer given to family and people who were concerned about Trina, was "vague". As it stands now, no-one really knows what happened Sunday.
Iain posts this to his Pinterest board https://www.pinterest.ca/iainhunt/
Trina's phone responds to some texts, including that of a former coworker. The writing style and curtness, and lack of emojis was unlike Trina. At 7:19pm a second text replying "Amen!" was sent, Trina had never used that in the past.
Iain reports he did not set the house alarm that night because he was leaving for work early Monday and didn't want to wake Trina up. In the houses on Hawthorn Drive, the alarm pad is in the hallway, outside of the master bedroom. Un-setting the alarm would cause 2 beeps, but unsetting it and leaving in the morning does not cause any continuous beeping to wake someone. Trina was fastidious about having the security alarm on and windows/doors closed at night
Iain was reportedly the last person to see Trina when he left for work at 6 am.
No activity on Trina's mobile phone nor laptop all day

It also includes the following on IHIT's involvement: "We have also contacted our partners at the Integrated Homicide Investigation Team (IHIT), as part of that team's mandate is to investigate suspicious missing person cases where foul play is suspected. At this time, evidence indicates that this missing person case does not meet IHIT's mandate."
Port Moody Police Chief Fleugal says in an interview with News1130 that, "…we've come to the conclusion that IHIT can no longer continue to assist us, because we don't have any evidence of foul play." Chief Fleugal goes on to state that, "Our minds are open, absolutely to all possibilities," and "We did have a lot of people on this case over the last month. We called out our major crimes section initially, the very first day — we believed it was serious enough to call out our higher trained detectives." When asked about his confidence that "this will actually be solved", Fleugal says "I am confident that we are going to make some inroads…"

"The past six weeks since Trina's disappearance have been a devastating and incredibly difficult time for me and everyone who knows my wife.

I am confident the police are doing all they can to solve this case, and I am hopeful that they will bring Trina home."
