Third suspect arrested in Onion Lake in Meghan Gallagher investigation

Jun 6, 2022 | 9:44 AM

A woman wanted in connection with the death of Megan Gallagher has been arrested by the RCMP.

In a media release Sunday, the Saskatoon Police Service said Jessica Sutherland was arrested Saturday in the area of Onion Lake after police got a tip from a member of the public.

Sutherland, 42, is charged with offering indignity to human remains. She’s expected to appear in Saskatoon Provincial Court on Monday at 9:00 a.m.

Gallagher, 30, was last seen on video surveillance at a convenience store on Diefenbaker Drive in Saskatoon in September of 2020. In January of 2021, police announced they were treating the investigation as a murder.

Police later released an audio recording of a phone call allegedly made from Gallagher’s phone calling for a cab on Sept. 21, 2020. Officers confirmed the people who made the call were picked up by a taxi and dropped off on Avenue P South.
