RCMP are conducting a large-scale search of the North Saskatchewan River this week as part of the ongoing investigation into the 2018 disappearance of Ashley Morin, believed to be a homicide victim.

Morin, 31, was last seen in North Battleford in mid-July 2018. Police say the latest search effort involves officers from the Underwater Recovery Team, Historical Case Unit, Search and Rescue, and the local detachment.

“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 RCMP’s Major Crimes Branch, said in a release Monday.

A video of the search efforts posted to the Saskatchewan RCMP’s Youtube channel.

“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.”

Police continue to urge anyone with information to contact RCMP or submit tips anonymously through Saskatchewan Crime Stoppers.
