REGINA – A Saskatchewan woman is holding out hope that police will find her father’s killer.

Courtney Byer joined the RCMP on Tuesday, asking for tips in the death of Roger Byer over four years ago.

“If any of you have information, please come forward with it,” Byer pleaded in a statement to the media.

Roger Byer, a Prince Albert ATM service technician, was last seen on Jan. 20, 2010, in Melfort, Sask. His body was found on April 1, 2010, in a field near Highway 41 between Yellow Creek and Meskanaw.

RCMP believe Byer was robbed of tens of thousands of dollars in cash.

Mounties say new information has been revealed relating to a black, heavy-duty work truck that may have been in the area when Byer disappeared. Investigators say two people may have been in the vehicle.
