Laverdiere was 25 years old when she went missing in May 2019. In July of that same year, the RCMP was conducting a ground search in a rural area outside of North Battleford, Sask., when a police dog found the human remains.
The RCMP later revealed that the remains discovered had been confirmed to be Laverdiere.
Since the remains were discovered, a total of 10 people were arrested and charged in connection with the case.
