Historical case unit asking for information about Mary Rose Keadjuk

The RCMP’s historical case unit is “renewing its plea for information” into the case of Mary Rose Keadjuk, who went missing 30 years ago.

Keadjuk was 24 when she went missing in Yellowknife between late June and August of 1990.  She was reported missing to the Yellowknife RCMP in September 1990.  

Keadjuk had been living at the Gold Range Hotel, where her belongings were found, along with her glasses, which she needed to be able to see.

In 2003, partial human remains were located in Yellowknife. In 2018 forensic DNA analysis determined that the remains were Keadjuk.  

However, the investigation into Keadjuk’s disappearance in 1990 is still ongoing.  

“This is a haunting file and we would really like to find a lead or information that might assist us in finding out what happened to Mary Rose in 1990,” Corporal Mike Lewis, NT RCMP Historical Case Unit, said in a statement.

Anyone with information on Mary Rose Keadjuk is asked to call NT RCMP HCU at 669-1111, contact Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477 or text: “nwtnutips” plus your message to 274637.

Search continues for ways to deal with 200,000 tons of arsenic dust at Giant Mine

Scientists presented projects for a more permanent solution to hundreds of thousands of tons arsenic dust from the mine. One method uses local beer to fuel a transformation of the toxic dust, while another tries to turn it into glass. Another proposed method looks at turning the dust into a highly sought commodity known as metallic arsenic. Additional proposals look whether robotic technology could allow crews to virtually pilot the extraction of the dust while “sipping coffee” from a distance.
