The last of four people has been arrested in the death of Megan Gallagher, who had close ties to Cumberland House.

John Wayne Sanderson, 44, was arrested in James Smith Cree Nation by officers from the Melfort RCMP detachment.

He was arrested on a charge of committing an indignity to human remains connected to Gallagher’s disappearance several years ago, but also had unrelated warrants.

He will appear by video in Melfort Provincial Court tomorrow morning at 11:00 a.m.

Sanderson is the fourth person charged after Gallagher disappeared in Saskatoon in 2020.
