Police visit area shown in Tamra Keepness ‘map’

Police have taken a look at the area in a map posted online which claims to show the location of missing girl Tamra Keepness.

The map was posted on Reddit.com and appears to show part of the Muscowpetung Saulteaux First Nation by Pasqua Lake. The post also said “check the wells.”

An RCMP member met with band members on Monday. On Tuesday, one investigator with the Regina Police Service (RPS) and two RCMP members visited the location and found one well. It is one of 30 wells on the reserve and police are still forming a plan on how to move forward. 

The plan may include a closer examination of a number of wells but right now, police are trying to determine a starting point. It’s proving a challenge because the map is not drawn to scale. Police are also making decisions on what resources, equipment and skills are needed.

While waiting for this update from police, News Talk Radio decided to head to the area Tuesday afternoon. Upon arrival, we were followed by two SUVs down the roads shown on the map then surrounded and flagged down. 

A man and a woman stepped out and claimed to be First Nation councillors but wouldn’t give their names. The couple handed over a media release, threatened legal action and told News Talk Radio to leave. Despite obeying this request, we were followed out of the reserve and for another 10 kilometres down a grid road.

In the media release, Muscowpetung Saulteaux First Nation asks for privacy and forwards any questions from the public to Regina police.
