With the help of the local community, RCMP were able to narrow down the list of suspects being investigated in the 2013 murder of 15-year-old Leah Anderson in Gods Lake Narrows. As a result, RCMP have made an arrest.
On July 26, 2017, RCMP Major Crime Services arrested a 23-year-old male in the community of Gods Lake Narrows in relation to the death of Leah Anderson.
“We put out a plea to the community in the hopes that we’d get to this point,” said S/Sgt Todd Doyle of RCMP Major Crime Services. “This arrest is significant. Investigators have been working since January 6, 2013, to get justice for Leah. She was a young girl with a bright future, which was violently stolen from her. This is far from over, but this is a good day.”
Police say that as of this point in time, charges have not been laid.
