Pierceland RCMP responded immediately and requested assistance from Saskatchewan RCMP Major Crimes who have since taken over the investigation.
Saskatchewan RCMP Major Crimes recovered the human remains with the assistance of North Battleford RCMP forensic identification services, the Saskatchewan Public Safety Agency, local search and rescue teams and the Saskatchewan Coroner’s Service.
A forensic autopsy has been scheduled.
On April 21, a Big Island Lake Cree Nation band member found other human remains at the community’s landfill. A forensic autopsy was completed on April 24 in Saskatoon. In its last update RCMP said the results of the autopsy ruled out recent missing persons from the area and they were still conducting tests and interviews to identify the deceased.
Mounties initiated a ground search of the area and did not find any more human remains. There is set to be increased police presence in the area as the investigation continues.
