The Saskatchewan RCMP is seeking help in the murder investigation of Monica Lee Burns.

The 28 year old was found dead Saturday afternoon. Her body was found northwest of Prince Albert on a snowmobile trail. The case is now part of a homicide investigation.

Police have said Burns was a sex trade worker, and they are hoping someone who may have seen her prior to the weekend, will come forward and share what information they have.

Burns had a young daughter and was living in Prince Albert.

She is a band member of the Sturgeon Lake First Nation.  A special service was planned for Monday night.
