Jillian Blatchford Fuller, a 28-year-old woman, was found dead in her Vancouver apartment at 8770 Granville Street after a deliberately set fire on March 4, 1993. Firefighters discovered her body after a deliveryman reported the blaze; investigators determined she had been assaulted and killed before the fire was started, apparently to destroy evidence and conceal the homicide.

Police reconstructed Fuller’s last known movements: she was seen near the Fraser Arms Hotel at 1450 Southwest Marine Drive around 12:30 a.m., then at the Rock Cellar Pub between about 1:30 and 1:40 a.m. A waitress recalled Fuller wearing a pink sweater with red trim, carrying a pink book, and seen in the company of an unidentified man shortly before she disappeared from public view. That man, described in released material as about six feet tall with a dark complexion and curly hair, became a key focus; a composite sketch was circulated but he has never been publicly identified.

No evidence of forced entry was found, suggesting Fuller may have known or willingly allowed her killer inside. Investigators questioned acquaintances, and an anonymous typed letter postmarked November 15, 1993, urged police to consider a suspect but the redacted details were never publicly disclosed and no arrest has been announced. The case remains an unsolved homicide and an open file.
