Loon Lake RCMP continues to ask for the public's help locating the family of Brittany Blackwell.

On October 23, 2021, 64-year-old Brittany Blackwell passed away in the RM of Loon Lake, SK. Loon Lake RCMP have been actively trying to locate her family to let them know of this, but have been unsuccessful.

"We thank members of the public for coming forward with information about Brittany. We've received approximately 16 tips to date," says Loon Lake RCMP Sgt. Earl Keewatin. "As a result of ongoing investigation by our officers, we now know that Brittany used to live in Ontario and that she changed her name from Kim Edith Avery-Yuzyk to Brittany Jayde Blackwell-Yuzyk in 2003. We are hoping his new information will help us identify and speak with members of her family."

If you have information about Brittany, formerly known as Kim, please contact the Loon Lake RCMP at 306-837-2440.

Loon Lake RCMP: Do you know Brittany Blackwell?

Loon Lake RCMP is asking for the public's help locating the family of Brittany Blackwell.

On October 23, 2021, 64-year-old Brittany Blackwell passed away in the RM of Loon Lake, SK. Loon Lake RCMP have been actively trying to locate her family to let them know of this, but have been unsuccessful.

Loon Lake RCMP is not investigating her death; officers are only trying to locate her next-of-kin.

"It's important that we speak with a member of Brittany's family," explains Loon Lake RCMP's Sgt. Earl Keewatin. "We've been trying to find her family for almost two months now. We've made local inquiries, checked RCMP databases and asked community partners to share any information they can about Brittany. We understand this is not the typical way to reach out to next-of-kin, but we are now asking the public to help us identify members of her family."

Brittany may have connections to the Assiniboia area, but this has not been confirmed. We do not have a photo of her available.

Anyone who has information is asked to call the Loon Lake RCMP at 306-837-2440.
