It's been 32 years since 73-year-old Kathleen Kermode was found killed in her West Vancouver home and Mounties are still looking for both a motive and a suspect.

It's been 32 years since 73-year-old Kathleen Kermode was found killed in her West Vancouver home and Mounties are still looking for both a motive and a suspect.

The RCMP issued an appeal for information Wednesday, saying the case remains unsolved.

Kermode, who went by Kay, was killed sometime overnight between March 17 and 18, 1990. Investigators believe a suspect got into Kermode's home by using a ladder to access her raised deck and entering through a sliding glass door.

Police said Kermode was stabbed "several times" and her 1982 green VW Jetta was taken. The Jetta was found abandoned not far away and was blocking the road. A neighbour spotted the car and, thinking it was in an odd place, tried to get a hold of Kermode.

Police were eventually called and Kermode was found dead in her home. Investigators still don't know why she was killed or who may be responsible.

"We will continue to work on, revisit and scrutinize this case," said Sgt. Jeff Shore in a news release Wednesday.

"No matter how many years pass by, we remain committed to finding justice for Kay and, obviously, for her family who still seek answers."
