Reflecting back on Saskatchewan’s first Amber Alert 10 years ago
A decade ago the province had only just recovered from the shooting deaths of two Mounties in Spiritwood.
Weeks later, Saskatchewan was rocked by another tragedy – one that would change the life of a little boy from Whitewood.
The province’s first Amber Alert was issued late into the night of July 30, 2006. Zachary Miller and another boy hadn’t been seen since lunchtime that day when they had gone off cycling.
Miller’s mom would later find the bikes abandoned. She called police, who issued the first amber alert in Saskatchewan.
