Police have released CCTV photos of the victim and a map showing where the assault took place on Dec, 9. 2024, in hopes someone may have information leading to the identity of the suspect or suspects.
The CCTV photo of the victim is from Dec. 8, the day prior to the assault.
Officers were called to the Nose Creek pathway near 32 Avenue N.E. and Deerfoot Trail around 4 a.m. after a passerby discovered a woman believed to be in medical distress.

Police say evidence gathered so far lead them to believe the woman was assaulted, and given the seriousness of her injuries, the CPS homicide team has been called in to investigate.
“We are looking for anyone who the victim had contact with prior to this incident,” said Staff Sgt. Sean Gregson.
“Any piece of information big or small may have a significant impact on this investigation.”
Shortly after arriving on scene Monday morning, CPS officers could be seen blocking off areas of the Nose Creek parkway and said they were working to determine if the areas were related to the woman’s discovery.
Police are asking anyone who saw anything suspicious in the area in the early hours of Monday, Dec. 9, or anyone who believes they may have had contact with the victim to give them a call at 403-266-1234.
