Naomi Leigh Desjarlais was a 21-year-old Indigenous woman last seen in Regina, Saskatchewan, on March 25, 1987. Two days later her nude body was found in a ditch near the city dump; investigators determined she had been shot. Reports do not specify the number or location of gunshot wounds or whether the ditch was the place she was shot or the location where her body was left.

Her clothing was not found with her remains. Investigators sought a brown coat, black fashion boots, a black miniskirt, a purple sweater and black fancy pantyhose as possible evidence, and the absence of those items raised questions about whether her clothes had been removed or separated from the body before it was left in the ditch.

No public report names a suspect, and no arrest, charge, trial or conviction has been reported. Anyone with information about Naomi’s last movements or the missing clothing is asked to contact the Regina Police Service.
