RCMP find body believed to be man missing since October

RCMP from the Fort Qu’Appelle detachment reported they’ve found human remains they believe belong to Gary Pelletier, who was first reported missing on Oct. 18.

Mounties responded to a call Sunday morning about human remains found within the town’s limits; they found the remains close to the south east area of Echo lake in a boggy, slough-type area.

The service’s F division search and rescue team combed the area and “recovered several items of interest,” according to an emailed news release.

They’re working with the provincial coroner and a forensic pathologist to identify the remains.

Pelletier’s family members have been notified.
