Moose Jaw RCMP received a report from a landowner of human remains in a remote area on April 28 and the identity of the person is still a mystery. At this point, the RCMP believe it is just one person and the death is believed not to be suspicious in nature.

RCMP believes that the remains have been in the area for around 10 to 12 years due to the items found.

Parker noted that the remains and items were found scattered due to predators and other elements over 10 to 12 years had moved items.

Photos of items found with remains are at the link. Looks like someone was camping rough near the railroad tracks. Possibly someone transient that hopped trains. I hope dental records or DNA can help!

Toothpaste tube helps narrow investigation into remains found near Sask. campsite

MOOSE JAW, Sask. - Investigators in Saskatchewan have released photos of items found near a campsite along with human remains of a person who they believe died a decade ago.

''The release didn’t specify whether it was a man or a woman, although it says there’s no evidence to suggest foul play was involved.
Searches yielded a number of personal items including clothing, backpacks and toiletries, and police say one specific item — a tube of toothpaste — helped investigators narrow down a timeframe for when the person may have been in the area.
The toothpaste had a 2013 expiry date, and the manufacturer told investigators that meant it was made no earlier than 2012.''

''What can be disclosed, however, is that the body was found in a rural area outside of Moose Jaw city limits and is on a secluded site on private property.

The identity of the deceased remains unknown, and police suspect they could be from anywhere in Canada as the location is near rail tracks and within reasonable walking distance from the Trans-Canada Highway. Current evidence suggests that the deceased individual is male – however, this will require DNA testing to confirm.''
