RCMP previously said Tiki expressed a desire to return to Edmonton after the funeral. A post on her Facebook page on April 30 showed she was looking for a ride to the Alberta capital from North Battleford.

On June 10, Saskatchewan RCMP announced her disappearance was the result of foul play and would be investigated as a homicide moving forward. The investigation remains ongoing.

Investigators have contacted her family regarding the positive identification.
