CBC
Saskatoon police have confirmed remains discovered at the South Saskatchewan River in September were Megan Gallagher's.
Gallagher, 30, was last seen alive leaving her friend's house in Saskatoon on Sept. 19, 2020.
Gallagher's family has been searching for her ever since and remained vocal in their calls for support, hosting two annual walks to bring awareness to her disappearance.
The search is now over, with police officially confirming Tuesday that Gallagher was the victim of a homicide.
Gallagher's remains were found after police, along with government and civilian organizations, launched a search on Sept. 29.
Searchers focused on an area along the South Saskatchewan River near St. Louis, Sask., about 100 kilometres northeast of Saskatoon.
Fifty people were set to examine the shoreline and landscape near the village over a four-day period. However, by approximately 2:30 p.m. CST on the first day, investigators reported discovering human remains.
