PENTICTON - Penticton RCMP are re-releasing information on a 20-year-old murder in the hopes of finally solving it.

Stewart was reported missing on Jan. 1, 1997, after she left a New Year's Eve party, never to be heard from again. A forensic autopsy revealed Stewart died due to foul play.

Stewart was last seen traveling west on Westhills Drive. She was wearing black jeans, winter boots, and a black leather jacket.
