•Massive search for missing Duncan teen
DUNCAN (NEWS1130) - People in Duncan and members of the Cowichan tribe are gathering tonight for a candlelight vigil to remember Tyeshia Jones.

Police believe they found the18-year-old's body earlier this morning in a wooded area near a cemetery, off a gravel access road, after almost a week long search.

Jones was last seen leaving a party in the early morning hours on Saturday. She sent a text message saying she was en route to Superstore to meet her friend, but never showed up and hasn't been heard from since.

Police suspect foul play was involved, but no suspects have been identified so far.

Corporal Darren Lagan says, "We are really in a situation where we have a very good foundation from which to go from, we are ahead of where we usually would be, I think it's fair to say that"

He says the community is in shock. "We've seen the pain her family's in now, we understand that. It's a really a sort of motivation. Our investigators will be working 15 and 20 hour days"

Lagan is asking anyone with tips, no matter how small, to contact police.
