Human Remains Discovered in Burned Saskatchewan Home Linked to Tiki Laverdiere Murder
The discovery of human remains in a burned home in Saskatchewan has reignited the investigation into the murder of Tiki Laverdiere. The remains were found on May 10th, 2021, in a home located on the Thunderchild First Nation, which was once connected to the disappearance and death of Laverdiere.
Laverdiere, a 25-year-old Indigenous woman from Edmonton, was reported missing in April 2019. Her body was found two months later, on July 11th, in a rural area near North Battleford. She had been in the area to attend a funeral and was last seen leaving a residence on the Thunderchild First Nation.
The discovery of human remains in the burned home has raised questions about the connection between the two cases. The home, which was once connected to the Laverdiere murder investigation, had been burned down in October 2019. At the time, it was believed to be an act of arson.
The Saskatchewan RCMP Major Crimes Unit is now leading the investigation into the human remains found in the burned home. They have not yet confirmed the identity of the remains or if they are connected to the Laverdiere case. However, they have stated that the investigation is ongoing and they are working diligently to gather evidence and information.
The Thunderchild First Nation Chief, Delbert Wapass, has expressed his condolences to the families involved and has called for justice to be served. He also stated that the community is cooperating with the RCMP and is hopeful that the truth will be revealed.
The Laverdiere family has also released a statement, expressing their grief and shock at the discovery of the human remains. They have requested privacy during this difficult time and have asked for anyone with information to come forward and assist with the investigation.
The Saskatchewan RCMP is urging anyone with information about the burned home or the Laverdiere case to contact them or Crime Stoppers. They have assured the public that all tips and information will be taken seriously and investigated thoroughly.
As the investigation continues, the community and the families involved are left waiting for answers and closure. The discovery of the human remains in the burned home has brought renewed attention to the tragic death of Tiki Laverdiere and the need for justice to be served.
