Canadian police have released a statement that remains found in western Manitoba have been identifed as those of Melinda Lynxleg. She’s been missing for three years.
She was last seen on March 31, 2020, on Tootinaowaziibeeng Treaty Reserve (also known as Valley River First Nation) and was reported missing on April 16, 2020.
Investigation:
The investigation into her disappearance led RCMP investigators to an abandoned home in San Clara earlier this week. RCMP have said they are investigating Lynxleg’s disappearance as a homicide.
“In the beginning we started searching her frequent hangouts. We spoke to known associates. Melinda was well liked and she had many friends and knew a lot of people,” said Sgt. Laura LeDrew, who has been one of the investigators for the case.
Police spoke with about 60 people in multiple communities while searching for her.
