Convicted violent offender Cutis Sagmoen has died.
The grandmother of Traci Genereaux, whose body was found on Sagmoen's family's property in 2017, told iNFOnews.ca she'd been contacted by Kelowna RCMP this morning, April 11, who told her Sagmoen had died.
Darcy Martin said police didn't give her any details of where or how his death happened.
Martin said she felt "ecstatic" and "wonderful" when she heard the news.
"Now he can't hurt anyone anymore," she said. "The only thing we don't get is more closure on everything, but I don't know if I want all of the gory, horrible details of what was done to my granddaughter."
Genereaux's body was found on Sagmoen's Salmon River Road property and to this day no one has ever been charged in connection to her death, and police have never said how she died.
"We won't get complete closure... the case doesn't get closed because of this. It's still open from what I understand," Martin said.
Following the discovery of Genereaux's body, Sagmoen has been convicted of violence towards sex workers.
In 2019, he was convicted for ambushing and pointing a gun at a sex worker he'd called to the large rural property.
Months later, he was convicted for driving into another sex worker at the property on a quad bike.
As he'd spent time a couple of years in custody before the trial he was released in December 2019 and has largely been out of prison since, although he has breached his probation several times.
