The Yukon RCMP Historical Case Unit (HCU) is reopening the 1967 investigation into the death of 26-year-old Tootsie Jimmy-Charlie.
The RCMP is seeking public assistance in gathering any information that may aid in this investigation.
Mrs. Jimmy-Charlie was last seen on March 20, 1967, in the Whitehorse area. Her body was found on May 17, 1967, at the site of the Whitehorse landfill, located off Range Road overlooking McIntyre Creek.
The Yukon RCMP had previously apologized in 2022 for their handling of the case. "We know that truth must be acknowledged for us to move forward together," said Former Chief Superintendent Scott Sheppard, commanding Officer, Yukon.
"The truth is we didn't conduct a thorough enough investigation after Ms. Jimmy-Charlie was found, we didn't keep you sufficiently informed of the outcome of the investigation, and we did not retain the investigation file after reaching a determination that nothing further would be done, even though some questions remained outstanding."
Tootsie Jimmy-Charlie is described by her family as kind-hearted, gentle, and a loving mother, wife, sister, and aunt. She was 5'5" tall, 120 pounds, with black hair, wearing a green sweater, black pants, and rubber boots.
The RCMP Yukon noted that the timing of the public appeal is due to the completion of a forensic sketch of Mrs. Jimmy-Charlie, created in close consultation with her family. "We're hoping the sketch will spark memories from the public," they said.
Anyone with information on this case is encouraged to contact the Yukon RCMP's Historical Case Unit at 867-667-5555 or email at MDIV_HCU@rcmp-grc.gc.ca.
