The families of two missing people whose disappearances are considered suspicious have been contacted after human remains were found in a rural area outside North Battleford on Thursday.

Police said in a media release that North Battleford RCMP and the Major Crime Unit were conducting a ground search in relation to an ongoing investigation in a rural area outside of North Battleford on Thursday when a police dog discovered the remains.

An autopsy is scheduled for next week to confirm the identity.

A spokeswoman with the RCMP could not confirm the location of the search.
