Late Sunday evening, police said the owner of the white truck that the RCMP were looking for had been identified. The vehicle was seen parked alongside Hwy 39 at the time of the shooting, however, investigators determined its presence is NOT connected to the suspicious death and RCMP no longer require additional information from the public about the white truck.

Seeking information about vehicle/trailer:

Saskatchewan RCMP Major Crimes investigators are seeking the public’s assistance to help identify the owner/driver of a vehicle pulling a trailer – they would like to speak with them to assist the ongoing investigation. Police do not have any other descriptives to provide of the vehicle/trailer. The vehicle and trailer traveled south on Range Road 2151 northwest of Weyburn and stopped at the intersection of Hwy 39 – in between the Viterra and Richardson Pioneer Ltd. grain terminals/elevators. The vehicle/trailer then turned northwest on Highway #39, driving away from Weyburn. This occurred around 8:00 p.m. on Sept. 12 and given this timing, the owner/driver may have valuable information to assist the investigation.

Anyone who may have seen this vehicle/trailer on September 12, or may know who this was is asked to contact Saskatchewan RCMP.
