The Regina Police Service is asking for the public’s help to identify a man whose remains were found buried outside a home on Retallack Street. The discovery was made June 9, 2026, when someone called police about what looked like human remains in the 1300 block of Retallack Street.
An autopsy by the Saskatchewan Coroners Service on June 16, 2026, gave investigators a clearer picture of the person. The remains are those of a man who was about 5’9″ tall and between 30 and 40 years old when he died. He had a broken jaw at some point in his life that needed surgery.
Police believe the remains had been buried there for at least five years, meaning they were placed there before 2021. Right now, the Regina Police Service has no missing persons reports that match this description, so they are turning to the community for tips.
The investigation is being led by the Regina Police Service’s Major Crimes Unit and Forensic Identification Unit, with help from the RCMP Historical Case Unit. The death is being treated as suspicious.
Investigators want to hear from anyone who might have information, no matter how small it seems. Tips can be shared with the Regina Police Service or through Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-TIPS.
