Investigators from the RCMP’s Edmonton Major Crimes Unit have arrested and charged four people after a seven-month-long investigation into the murder of a 22-year-old Camrose woman whose remains were discovered by a local resident in a wooded area within the Town of Calmar, Alberta after she had been reported missing on Aug. 1, 2015.




Mackenzie Leah Harris had been reported missing by a friend last August. Police launched a search for the missing woman which culminated in the discovery of Ms. Harris’ remains in Calmar on Aug. 3, 2015. An autopsy by the Edmonton Medical Examiner’s Office determined that the manner of Ms. Harris’ death was a homicide. Police moved on the evidence which they gathered during the course of their investigation and made the arrests on Friday, Mar. 4 and Saturday, Mar. 6, 2016, in connection to the murder of Ms. Harris.
