Ontario Provincial Police identified the remains as a "56-year-old female reported missing to the York Regional Police," on Aug. 22.
Yuk-Ying Anita Mui, a Markham real estate agent, was reported missing on Aug. 9 and her burned remains were found three days later.
"Avro Arrow Road is a wooded area with no homes on the road," Const. Brandon Charlebois told CTVNewsNorthernOntario.ca in an email Tuesday morning.
"The investigation is in its early stages and foul play cannot be ruled out at this time."
There is one business on the road, but Charlebois said the deceased was not located on the commercial property.
The West Parry Sound crime unit is continuing the investigation under the direction of the criminal investigation branch with help from the forensic and emergency response teams, the fire marshal's office, chief coroner and Ontario Forensic Pathology Services.
"Investigators believe there is expertise that the Ontario fire marshal has that could help interpret evidence at the scene," Charlebois said.
"Due to the ongoing nature of the investigation I’m not able to comment on evidence at the scene."
