What Happened to Courtney Jenell Struble?
On the night of July 9, 2004, Courtney was spending time with friends at a veterinary clinic on the outskirts of Estevan. Around 11:30 p.m., she left to walk home but never arrived. Initially, her case was treated as a runaway situation, but as no evidence supported that theory, it was later reclassified as a suspected homicide.

The Ongoing Investigation: What We Know So Far
The search for Courtney began under the Estevan Police Service and was later handed over to the RCMP Historical Case Unit (HCU). After years of review and investigation, the RCMP now treats the case as a homicide investigation.
Authorities confirmed that there has been no activity on Courtney’s Saskatchewan Health card since her disappearance.
