Multiple tracks were found in the area, but one set in particular is believed to belong to the killer.

A witness helped police create a sketch of Mosie getting into a car in Salmon Arm a day before her body was discovered. The man was described as in his late 20s or early 30s with black or brown hair and a beard.

At the time of her death, Mosie was wearing beaded moccasins and she was carrying a tan-coloured canvass handbag.
