The 2024 Manitoba Homicide Victim List is available here

RCMP announced on November 1st that the remains located on a property located off of Highway 6 in the RM of Grahamdale on June 3, 2024, have been identified as 2-year-old Xavia Skye Lynn Butler. She was found in a barn on the property.

Police are investigating her death as a homicide.

The last time RCMP investigators were able to place Xavia physically was approximately a year before she was located deceased. Investigators are looking for the public to help them further identify her whereabouts during that time. Investigators said there was never a missing person report filed regarding Xavia.

“We are looking for any photos taken of Xavia after March 2022,” said RCMP Major Crime Services investigator Corporal Jill Slobodzian. “We are hoping those photos will have date and time stamps on them to help us build a better timeline of her life. We also ask anyone who physically saw Xavia after March 2022 to reach out to us as well to provide that information.”

Anyone with information about Xavia or who has photos to share is asked to call the RCMP Major Crime Services tip line at 431-489-8112.
