The Regina Police Service is asking for assistance from the public to identify human remains buried outside a residence in the 1300 block of Retallack Street in Regina.
On June 9, 2026, at approximately 4:15 p.m., police were dispatched to a call for service on the 1300 block of Retallack Street. The caller told police they had discovered what appeared to be human remains buried outside the residence.
Over the course of a week, investigators with the Regina Police Service Major Crimes Unit, Regina Police Service Forensic Identification Unit, and the RCMP Historical Case Unit, methodically searched the area for evidence related to this suspicious death. Yesterday (June 16, 2026), the Saskatchewan Coroners Service conducted an autopsy which resulted in the discovery of the following information about the deceased:
- Male
- Approximately 5’9” tall
- Between 30-40 years-old at the time of death
- The remains have been buried in this location for a minimum of five years (prior to 2021).
- At some point in his life, the male sustained a broken jaw that required surgical treatment.
At this time, there are no missing persons reported to the Regina Police Service who match this description. As such, we are appealing to the public to assist in identifying the deceased male.
Anyone who has information that could assist police in this investigation is asked to contact the Regina Police Service at 306-777-6500 or Regina Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-TIPS (8477). The Regina Police Service thanks the public and the media for their assistance in this matter.
