A 44-year-old female tragically died on September 12 near Weyburn. Her name is Tanya Myers. The family is sharing an appeal to anyone who has information about this tragedy.

Tanya was an amazing energy healer and animal lover, with a special fondness for cats. She was the best mom to her nine cats.

She rarely left home because she had an extensive care routine for her kitties, so this day out of town was rare for her, and related to her interest in energy healing and shopping for her cats.

We are all in shock and disbelief, and the loss of Tanya leaves a giant gaping hole in our lives and her cats’ lives who are all wondering where their mom has gone.

She did not have anything to do with the way she left us. She kept to herself and looked after her fur babies.

To the person or persons responsible – please grow a conscience and take responsibility for your actions. Tanya deserves justice and her family deserves answers.

The family asks that you please give us and Andrea’s family privacy at this difficult time.

Background

Saskatchewan RCMP Major Crimes continues to investigate the circumstances of the suspicious death that occurred outside Weyburn on Highway #39 on September 12, 2025. The deceased was the passenger in a Ford Explorer.

On September 13, 2025, RCMP received a report from a member of the public. They said they were driving on Highway #39 the evening of September 12 around 8:00 p.m. and may have been traveling behind the Ford Explorer. The person reported hearing two ‘pops’ that sounded like rocks hitting the windshield, but there was no damage to any windows. The person then noted their SUV tire was flat on September 13. They did not know if there was any connection to the ongoing police investigation, but due to the timing, wanted to report it.

The SUV’s tire was examined on September 15 by Regina RCMP Forensic Identification Section and it was determined the tire was damaged by a gunshot. Investigators have confirmed the SUV was traveling a close distance behind the Ford Explorer, passed it and continued towards Weyburn after the incident occurred.

The driver was unaware of the incident involving the occupants of the Ford Explorer on September 12. There was no apparent damage to the SUV’s tire September 12. The individual did not report any physical injuries to police. They do not know the occupants of the Ford Explorer.

Note: we are not providing any other specific details about which tire was damaged as this information is part of the ongoing investigation. We are also not identifying the person who reported this information to police.

We thank the public for reporting information and tips to police. If you have information to share, please call us.

On September 12, 2025, shortly after 8:00 p.m., RCMP received a report of a person who was seriously injured in a SUV traveling on Highway #39 approximately three kilometers northwest of Weyburn near the Richardson Pioneer/Viterra grain terminals/elevators.

Investigation has determined two adult females were traveling together in a black Ford Explorer on Highway #39, driving towards Weyburn. A loud crack was heard and investigation to date indicates someone discharged a firearm, which struck and entered the travelling Ford Explorer, injuring the passenger, a 44-year-old female from Weyburn. The female died at the scene and it was determined she had been shot. Her death is considered suspicious and Saskatchewan RCMP Major Crimes is now investigating. The victim’s family has been notified.

The adult female driver of the SUV, also from the Weyburn area, is not considered a suspect and is not in police custody.  The two women were the only vehicle occupants.

At this time, investigation indicates this incident may be random in nature.

“We understand the current circumstances of this investigation may cause concern, particularly for locals and those who travel on Highway #39,” says Inspector Ashley St. Germaine of the RCMP Major Crimes Branch, “At this point, we are asking the public to think back to last night and if you were driving on Highway #39 or northwest of Weyburn around 8:00 p.m., please report any suspicious people, vehicles or activity to police. If you saw a black Ford Explorer around that time, please contact police with any information. Was someone target practicing in the area? Was another vehicle driving erratically on that road? Please call investigators so we can determine if the information you have may assist us in this investigation.”

We are asking the pubic to remain vigilant, such as farmers who may be working late in the field right now. Lock your vehicle doors and remove the keys. At this time, no other reports of suspicious activity or people have been reported to Weyburn RCMP that would be considered connected to this incident. RCMP are carefully monitoring this unfolding investigation and if an urgent public safety risk is identified, we will notify the public immediately.

If you have information to share, please call 911 in an emergency or 310-RCMP in non-emergencies. If you have information you want to report anonymously, call Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477.

Highway #39 is now open to motorists. There will be an increased police presence through the weekend in the Weyburn area. RCMP Major Crimes continues to investigate in conjunction with Weyburn RCMP Detachment and RCMP Forensic Identification Services. We thank Weyburn Police Service for their assistance.
