Sep 12, 2016 | 2:38 PM

PINCHER CREEK –  A year after the murder of an Aboriginal woman, RCMP are again putting story in front of the public, in hopes that new tips and leads will be forthcoming, in order to move the investigation forward.

On Sunday, September 13, 2015  the body of Victoria Joanne Crow Shoe was recovered from the shore of the Oldman River Reservoir at the Windy Point day use area.

Ms. Crow Shoe’s family reported her missing to the Lethbridge Police Service on September 15, 2015, two days after her body was found near Pincher Creek. 

 Family members had last seen Crow Shoe on August 26, 2015 and the police investigation has been able to establish that the last time that she was seen or spoken to was on Monday, August 31, 2015. She was known to be living at the Lethbridge Shelter and would often be seen at the library.

The RCMP’s Major Crimes Unit – South is conducting the investigation and requests information about Ms. Crow Shoe’s activities between the last time she was seen, August 31, 2015, and the day on which her body recovered from the Oldman River Reservoir, September 13, 2015.
