Saskatchewan RCMP may be making some headway investigating the death of Joanne Wolfe-Lafonde, who was killed in Muskeg Lake in 2019.

The force’s Historical Case Unit (HCU) is warning the public if an increase police presence in the community for several days.

HCU investigators said some people have come forward with information.

“Significant advancements in these types of investigations would not be possible without the help of witnesses and community members coming forward,” says Cpl. Tanya Gordon of the HCU.

Wolfe-Lafone was found dead outside her home on January 13, 2019, and police said it was suspicious.
