Native girl's disappearance still unsolved after two years


Two years ago on July 5, 2004, Tamra Keepness went missing from her home in a predominantly Native part of Regina, Saskatchewan.

The disappearance of the 5-year-old girl sparked a major search and investigation. But after 2,000 interviews, 1,500 tips and 1,200 follow-ups, police are no closer to finding Tamra.

At one point, Tamra's mother and stepfather were considered suspects. There was a party at the home the night she went missing.

Officially, the case is still open. Police Chief Cal Johnston believes it will be solved. A $25,000 reward for information about Tamra is still being offered.
