On what would have been her 22nd birthday, the family of Kendara Ballantyne is appealing to the public for answers in her 2019 death, which RCMP investigators are now calling a homicide.
On Aug. 6, 2019, Kendara Ballantyne’s remains were found near the University Colle of the North in the Pas, Man. She had been reported missing on July 26, 2019.
“It’s been three years since Kendara’s remains were found — three years without her in our lives. Oct. 4 was her birthday,” said Lorraine Packo, Ballantyne’s aunt.
“We always celebrated this day with her. Kendara would have been 22 years old. Since her death, we all feel the void and it’s indescribable.”
