Police closed Lighthouse Park in West Vancouver May 19, 2009, following the discovery of homicide victim Tammy Lynn Cordone.
(CBC)A New Westminster, B.C., man has been charged in the slaying of a woman in Lighthouse Park in West Vancouver in 2009.
Alexander Lawrence La Glace, 45, is accused of second-degree murder in the death of Tammy Lynn Cordone, 43.
La Glace was arrested Tuesday in Vancouver and is being held in custody pending a first court appearance at North Vancouver provincial court on Wednesday.
The victim and the accused knew each other, said West Vancouver Const. Jeff Palmer.
Investigators said they believe Cordone, a mother of two, was living in the park when she was killed last May 19. Her body was found by a hiker in the Juniper Point area.
The cause of the woman's death has not been revealed.
