Family and supporters of missing woman Ashley Morin search Finlayson Island after receiving new tip
After receiving a new tip, a group of family and supporters took to Finlayson Island Saturday searching for missing North Battleford woman Ashley Morin, who disappeared two years ago.
Morin, 31, of Ahtahkakoop First Nation, was last seen July 10 of 2018. RCMP stated in July 2019, a year after their investigation, they believe Ashley Morin was the victim of a homicide.
This was the second day of the latest local search that will continue Sunday. In addition to family and supporters, Prince Albert Grand Council Search Rescue and Recovery team, as well as the Lloydminster Rescue Squad canine unit, joined in the search. Representatives from Saskatchewan RCMP “F” Division Indigenous Policing Services and Prince Albert Police Service also took part. A canine unit from Calgary was also expected to participate.
Morin family spokesperson Krista Fox said the family continues to hope for closure.
