''The other woman was found outside of an Edmonton address on June 11, 1976, with an autopsy determining that she had passed away from medical causes. She was also buried in Edmonton after not being able to be identified.

However, back in 2023 EPS partnered with the RCMP to create “Project Match”, which reviews all of EPS’ historical unidentified human remains investigations. That year, police exhumed these women’s remains with the oversight of two Indigenous Elders performing a sacred ceremony.

After re-examining the remains, the Office of the Chief Medical Examiner discovered that the woman found in the river was 24-year-old Louise Laderoute, while the woman found outside the address was 30-year-old Irene Jacknife.

Laderoute was reported missing from Edmonton and was a member of Papaschase First Nation, while Jacknife was reported missing from Drayton Valley.''
