Norman Playter, 46, left Calgary in spring 2014 and was last seen on May 4, 2014, in Grasswood, a small hamlet just south of Saskatoon. His family reported him missing when contact ceased; the investigation traced his last known movements to the Saskatoon area and shifted from a missing person inquiry to a homicide investigation.

RCMP F Division Major Crime North identified an acquaintance, John Glen MacAulay, who was also in Saskatoon and a fellow Outlaws Motorcycle Club member, as the person of interest. In January 2016 MacAulay was charged with second-degree murder; an additional charge of offering an indignity to human remains alleged Playter’s body had been placed in a refrigerator and burned. MacAulay died by suicide on remand in March 2016; hours earlier he sent a letter to his lawyer claiming innocence and suggesting a location for the remains. The RCMP considered the investigation complete after his death, but Playter’s remains have never been found.

Does anyone have information about Norman’s movements in Saskatchewan in May 2014 or about the people he was with around that time?
