Unresolved: Case Closed or Murder? CBC finds questionable circumstances in some Sask. cases
7 cases where families of missing and murdered Indigenous women disagree with the police findings

In seven Saskatchewan cases where officials say there is no evidence of foul play, the families of missing and murdered Indigenous women say they disagree with that conclusion.
The cases form part of a larger, national project that looks into 34 deaths of Indigenous women across the country. The project is a part of CBC's ongoing coverage on Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women.

- Unresolved: Questions remain in dozens of cases deemed 'no foul play'
The Saskatchewan cases span decades and occurred mostly around Regina and Prince Albert, Sask.

Edna Smith, 24, who disappeared in 1983, is presumed drowned after a camping trip near East Trout Lake.
Her boyfriend and sister-in-law's bodies were recovered a few weeks later but Smith has never been recovered.

The family of Rhonda Gardiner, 33, from La Plonge First Nation, Sask. said they believe their sister was killed and left in the bush in 2004.
The Saskatchewan RCMP and the coroner both say the case is closed as a suicide.





CBC contacted all the police agencies involved and none would agree to an interview.
