Marie Lynn Lasas was a 19-year-old Indigenous mother of two who disappeared in Saskatoon after leaving a friend’s house in the 600 block of Avenue H South on the night of September 24, 2006. She told the friend she intended to walk to a family member’s home on 28th Street; that was the last confirmed sighting. Concern grew quickly when she missed calls to her children and failed to collect a government cheque.

Human remains were found on June 30, 2007, in the 200 block of 33rd Street West and later identified by dental records on July 19, 2007, as Marie. Saskatoon police described her death as a homicide but publicly released information does not establish how she was killed. No one has been arrested in connection with the case.

The Major Crime Section treats this as an open historical homicide and investigators renewed a public appeal for information in 2023. If anyone knew Marie, saw her movements on September 24, 2006, or has information about 33rd Street West that could help, please come forward.
