SASKATOON — A Saskatoon woman accused of faking her death and that of her child before they crossed the border into the United States has pleaded guilty to three charges.

Dawn Walker has pleaded guilty to forgery offences as well as abduction in contravention of a custody or parenting order.

Walker and her child were reported missing in July 2022 after her pickup truck was found near a river at a park south of Saskatoon.

Some people feared the pair had drowned and there was a missing persons investigation.

Two weeks later, she and her child were found by U.S. authorities in Oregon.
