BATTLEFORDS – The family of Candie Pritchard, whose death is being investigated as suspicious, continue to search for answers two years after her remains were found on Red Pheasant Cree Nation.
On Feb. 5, 2024, Battlefords RCMP located Pritchard's remains outside a residence on Red Pheasant Cree Nation. A search by RCMP Search and Rescue located additional evidence in a treed area along a roadway on Red Pheasant Cree Nation.
Pritchard, 44, was from Rabbit Lake.
Her mother, Lorna, continues to search for answers.
“Two years ago, our lives were forever changed when my daughter was murdered," she said in the news release. "The silence since then has been unbearable. Someone knows what happened, and we are pleading for that person or persons to come forward. My daughter deserves justice and our family deserves peace. She was a caring, loving daughter, mom, sister and gramma. She never got the chance to meet or hold her two grandsons.”
The Saskatchewan RCMP continues to ask the public to report information about the suspicious death of Pritchard.
The Saskatchewan RCMP's Homicide Investigation Unit (HIU) continues to investigate Pritchard's death and follow up on new information received. No charges have been laid. This investigation remains active and ongoing.
“We know there are people who have information about what happened to Candie, and we need them to tell police what they know,” said Inspector Ashley St. Germaine, senior investigative officer with Saskatchewan RCMP Major Crimes Branch. “Even a small detail could make the difference in this investigation and help provide Candie’s family with answers.”
Anyone with information about Pritchard's death is asked to report it to police. Tips can be submitted by calling Saskatchewan RCMP at 310-RCMP or the local police of jurisdiction. Information can also be submitted anonymously by contacting Saskatchewan Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-TIPS (8477) or www.saskcrimestoppers.com.
This investigation is supported by officers from the Saskatchewan RCMP’s Police Dog Services, Forensic Identification Services, RCMP Search and Rescue, and Battlefords Detachment, among others.
