On Friday, June 21, 2024, Saskatchewan RCMP received a report of an abandoned vehicle at Pine Cree Regional Park, which is located in the Cypress Hills between Shaunavon and Eastend, SK. The abandoned vehicle was a white 2018 Mercedes GLC – and is determined to be the vehicle previously associated with 55-year-old Astrid Schiller. Astrid and her three missing children: Leon, 12-years-old, Christopher, 11-years-old, and Thomas, 9-years-old – were not with the vehicle and have not been located.
