"HEATHER BALLANTYNE"

Heather Ballantyne, 40, was mother to five children when her body was found in a wooded area of her community, Saskatchewan’s Pelican Narrows, on Oct. 29, 2013. The Pelican Narrows RCMP is handling the homicide, and investigators report Heather was allegedly strangled by her nephew, John Bob Glen Custer, who was charged with second-degree murder. Custer died by suicide in jail before going to trial, leaving Heather’s case unsolved.
