PRINCE ALBERT, Sask. – Mounties have released some more information about a murder in Saskatchewan. On Jan. 17, the body of Monica Burns, 28, was found on a snowmobile trail outside of Prince Albert.
On Wednesday, police released photos of two rugs/carpets that were found with Burns’ body. Investigators believe the rugs are connected with her murder.
The original sizes of the rugs, which investigators believe were purchased in the last year, are five-feet wide by eight-feet long. Both have evidence of cutting along the edges with some distinctive cut-outs, which suggest to police they were modified to fit in a particular space or room.
An autopsy was also performed on Jan. 20. Mounties are not releasing any information from the findings.
The snowmobile trail Burns was found on is in a remote location 15 kilometres northwest of Prince Albert in the R.M. of Buckland away from major highways.

Members of her family are staging a walk in her memory. Six relatives left Saskatoon on Tuesday to make a 48-hour journey up Highway 11 to Prince Albert.
Burns was a member of the Sturgeon Lake First Nation who was living in Prince Albert. RCMP say she was a sex-trade worker who was known to them.
Mounties are asking anyone with information to contact the Prince Albert RCMP detachment at 306-765-5501 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477.
