Finding Closure

Sask RCMP believe they found remains of man missing for over 11 years

Oct 28, 2022 | 1:19 PM

Saskatchewan RCMP believes they have found the remains of Edward “Ted” Geddes, who has been missing for over 11 years.

Geddes was 64 years old at the time he was last seen in the Baldwinton area in April 2011.

After a month-long search, human remains were found on private land, three kilometres southwest of Baldwinton. Although police are waiting for confirmation, they believe they are Geddes’ remains.

“While positive DNA results are needed to confirm the identity of the deceased person, investigation to date has determined the person located is believed to be Edward “Ted” Geddes,” Superintendent Josh Graham, Officer in Charge of Saskatchewan RCMP Major Crimes, said in a statement.

“We do not anticipate laying further charges in relation to this investigation. While we await DNA confirmation, we hope this development assists with giving Ted’s family some closure after over ten years of wondering where he is. His loved ones have been notified and our thoughts are with them.”

In February, RCMP’s investigation led them to arrest and charge two men who knew Geddes: Robert Wesley Pich and John Robert Gregoire.

Pich faces a first-degree murder charge, as well as charges of kidnapping with a firearm and careless use of a firearm. He had a court appearance scheduled on Friday.

Gregoire faces first-degree murder, kidnapping with a firearm, and indecently interfering with human remains. Gregoire’s next court appearance is Nov. 8.
