The disappearance of Ashley Morin remains one of Saskatchewan’s most heartbreaking mysteries. On July 10, 2018, the 31‑year‑old woman vanished from North Battleford, sparking a search that continues to this day.
Her case has been classified as a homicide, and on the eighth anniversary of her disappearance, RCMP Inspector Ashley St. Germaine renewed public appeals for information, stressing that investigators believe multiple people know what happened to Ashley.
Ashley Morin was last seen leaving a residence in North Battleford on July 10, 2018. She was described as 5’2” tall, weighing about 110 pounds, with brown hair.
At the time, she wore grey sweatpants, a black t‑shirt with white writing, a black hat, and sunglasses. A black‑and‑green bag, which she was rarely without, was later found abandoned.
This detail has been particularly troubling for her family, as it suggested she did not leave voluntarily.
