Sask. RCMP searching rivers, riverbanks in Battlefords region for woman missing since 2018
The Saskatchewan RCMP says residents in the Battlefords region can expect to see an increased police presence this week as an investigation continues into the 2018 disappearance of Ashley Morin.
Morin, was 31 when she was last seen in July of 2018 in North Battleford and police believe she was the victim of a homicide.
A news release says that officers with Saskatchewan RCMP's Underwater Recovery Team, Historical Case Unit, the Battlefords RCMP Detachment and Saskatchewan RCMP Search and Rescue will be conducting searches of rivers and riverbanks in the area throughout the week.
'Searching the river is another step in our investigation to find out what happened to Ashley and hold the person, or persons, who took Ashley away from her family accountable,' Supt. Josh Graham, officer in charge of Saskatchewan RCMP Major Crimes Branch said in the release.
'The Battlefords is a small, tight-knit community. We know people have information about Ashley's disappearance, and we want to encourage them to report it to police – even the smallest detail could make a difference,' Graham said.
No charges have ever been laid regarding Morin's disappearance.
Anyone with information is encouraged to call RCMP or Saskatchewan Crime Stoppers if they wish to remain anonymous.
