Nine months have passed since RCMP Major Crimes South began investigating the disappearance and suspected homicide of 51-year-old Sheree Fertuck.
Fertuck was last seen leaving her family's farmyard east of Kenaston and has not been seen since Monday, Dec. 7, 2015. Fertuck was wearing a grey sweater, grey sweat pants, white running shoes and glasses. Police say there has been no banking activity, use of her passport or cellular phone and Fertuck has not made contact with her family.
In addition to community organized searches, to date multiple RCMP units including detachments, Search and Rescue, Police Dog Service, Civil Air Search and Rescue and the RCMP Underwater Recovery Team have been engaged in ongoing search efforts.
RCMP Major Crimes is requesting the public’s assistance in checking their rural properties and outbuildings. Harvest and hunting season are approaching and the RCMP ask anyone working in their fields or hunting game who locate or observe anything suspicious to report it to their local RCMP detachment.
Police have received multiple tips from the public, but Fertuck has not been located to date. They are encouraging anyone with information, however big or small, to contact police.
Police say they recognize it can be difficult to approach police with information. Those who wish to remain anonymous can call Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-TIPS (8477). Callers will not be asked to reveal their name or personal details, calls are not recorded or traced, call display is not used. If it’s an online tip, IP addresses are not available. Online reports and texts are afforded the same level of anonymity as phone calls. The only way anyone will know you contacted Crime Stoppers is if you tell somebody, according to the RCMP.
