Saskatchewan RCMP are asking for the public's help in identifying human remains discovered in a wooded area near Moose Jaw.

Saskatchewan RCMP are asking for the public’s help in identifying human remains discovered in a wooded area near Moose Jaw.

On April 28, RCMP began an investigation after human remains were discovered at a makeshift campsite in the RM of Moose Jaw.

Evidence was collected from the scene and while working with a forensic anthropologist and pathologist, police determined the remains had been in the area for 10 to 12 years.

No evidence suggests the individual was victim to foul play.

With the death being considered non-suspicious, RCMP’s Historical Case Unit (HCU) took control of the investigation.

A search of the surrounding area was conducted by several units of RCMP using tools such as drones, all-terrain vehicles and metal detectors.

Personal items discovered by officers helped narrow down the timeframe for when the victim would’ve been in the area.
