KELOWNA, B.C. The mysterious death of Arlene Westervelt seemed like a tragic drowning – something that happens all too often in the tourist’s playground of B.C.’s Okanagan Lake. On June 26, 2016, Arlene and her husband Bert Westervelt set out for an afternoon paddle and a picnic. Records show the temperature was about 20 degrees Celsius, with little wind. Later that day, Arlene’s uncle Don Hennig got a call from the Lake Country RCMP he would never forget.
