Community Alert: Homicide and Missing Infant Investigation in St. Albert

The Alberta RCMP Major Crimes Unit is continuing a sensitive and complex investigation in St. Albert, Alberta involving the homicide of a 23-year-old local resident and the death of an infant who was about five months old at the time. Investigators now believe both deaths occurred in September 2025 and are urgently working to locate the infant’s remains.

As part of this effort, RCMP are focusing on a specific area around the Sturgeon Point Villas Apartments in St. Albert. Police believe the infant’s remains may have been placed in a waste disposal bin outside Door 11 of the complex sometime between mid-September and mid-November 2025. The public’s help is now critical to narrow down the disposal date and guide search efforts.
