The Yukon RCMP Historical Case Unit is seeking public assistance to solve one of the most disturbing homicides in recent territorial history.

Angel Carlick, 19, was last seen on May 26, 2007 in downtown Whitehorse. Her remains were found Nov. 9 of that year in the Pilot Mountain area north of the city.

Carlick had been on the verge of graduating from high school.

“She was a hard worker at a non-profit organization in Whitehorse, running a dinner program where she would cook meals for children,” the RCMP recalled Monday.

“She enjoyed music and painting. Angel, a youth advocate, was involved in the community. She was caring and was seen as a big sister to her brother and loyal to her friends.

“Angel had a bright future ahead of her.”

On the evening of May 26, Carlick left a friend’s place and went to downtown Whitehorse on her bike.

Later that night, she called her best friend from a payphone, making plans to join her friends.

“She was then last seen walking away from Main Street with one or several people,” police said.

“This was probably the last time anyone heard from her or saw her.”

Her remains were discovered by a walker in a wooded area in Pilot Mountain.

It is not known whether she died in the area where her body was found.

“Angel has not been forgotten, and the investigation into her death continues,” police said.

“Angel’s family and friends are searching for answers, justice, and understanding.

“The police are actively using all available resources to find the person responsible. Anyone with any knowledge about this is encouraged to come forward.”

The Historical Case Unit works across the territory on historical suspicious deaths and historical homicides.
