Fredericton, New Brunswick — The tight-knit Fredericton community has been left stunned after police confirmed that the human remains discovered Monday in a wooded area near Two Nations Crossing belonged to 28-year-old Montana Solomon, a local resident whose life is now at the heart of a murder investigation.
Late Monday, officers from the Fredericton Police Force were dispatched to the north side of the city, responding to a report of human remains found in a secluded, heavily wooded part of the city near the boundary of the St. Mary’s First Nation. The Major Crime Team has since taken over, declaring the case a homicide while making clear that many questions remain unanswered.
According to official statements, authorities believe the incident was isolated and that there is no continued risk to public safety. As of now, no arrests have been made. An autopsy has been scheduled to reveal the precise cause of Montana’s death.
Despite the unfolding investigation, police have requested restraint in speculation, noting that further details cannot be released at this time. Anyone with information is urged to contact Fredericton Police or Crime Stoppers. The case is being handled under file number 25-25596.
For family, friends, and neighbors, the confirmation that the remains belonged to Montana has turned shock into grief. Many remember her for her warmth, resilience, and the quiet strength she offered to those around her. In social media posts and in conversations across Fredericton, people speak of a life that should have held so much more.
Investigators now face the task of weaving together timelines, gathering witness accounts, and piecing together what led to the tragic loss. As the community waits, the hope is that any small detail—no matter how insignificant it might seem—could become the key that unlocks justice for Montana.
In the days ahead, Fredericton will be watching closely—not just for answers about what happened, but for signs that healing might one day follow sorrow.
