Amanda Michayluk’s final moments were spent walking alone in the cold and snow through a Saskatchewan field as her family anxiously waited for an RCMP search and rescue team that would never arrive.
A scathing report from the Civilian Review and Complaints Commission for the RCMP says officers responding to calls for help from Michayluk’s family had tunnel vision, relied on stereotypes and did an inadequate ground search.We deliver the local news you need in these turbulent times on weekdays at 3 p.m.By clicking on the sign up button you consent to receive the above newsletter from Postmedia Network Inc.
The father called 911 and asked for a search and rescue team. He said snowmobiles would be needed to get to the area. At no point would a rescue teamarrive. The report found officers relied on racial stereotypes and unsupported assumptions and noted in their reports that Michayluk had an “active social life at the bar.”
“As the investigation went on, the subject RCMP members continued to flounder, failing to communicate effectively, or to respond appropriately,” the report says. The civilian commission’s chairperson, Michelaine Lahaie, agreed with the family that the RCMP report into the investigation did not consider important evidence, ignored many relevant issues, and was inaccurate and misleading. The RCMP’s report also stated a search began for Michayluk in the morning, which was false.Article contentThe commission’s report included recommendations, including an apology to the family and code of conduct proceedings for the responding officers.
