Police are asking for the public's help to find a vehicle they say is connected to the homicide of Edmonton woman Tiki Brook-Lyn Laverdiere.
Laverdiere's remains were found near North Battleford, Sask., around July 12. Three people have been charged in relation to her death and police say they are expecting to make more arrests in the coming weeks.
The RCMP Major Crime Unit North said in a news release that the 1997 black Dodge Ram 1500 regular-cab pickup truck was stolen in North Battleford on May 2, 2019.
It has the Saskatchewan licence plate 333 KLC.
Police say the vehicle could be in the area of Moosomin First Nation or the community of Cochin, but that has not been confirmed.
RCMP said the truck has a standard transmission, faded black paint and a white sticker across the top of the rear window.
