UPDATE: Human remains identified as missing Saskatoon woman, man charged
SASKATOON – Saskatoon police and the Canadian Centre for Child Protection are reminding people that any information could help solve a missing persons case. Karina Wolfe and Hamza Alsharief’s cases remain open to this day.
Extensive investigations have been conducted by police for both individuals.
Police highlighted these cases on Monday in hopes of collecting any information that could lead to closure for the families who are still searching.
“It helps to highlight these cases … it helps get people talking about them again,” said Alyson Edwards, Saskatoon police spokesperson.
“Perhaps it helps for people to remember pieces of info and when we say that we’re talking about even the smallest bit of information that might seem very trivial or unimportant.”
