Two separate $50,000 reward offers have been renewed, pertaining to information leading to the closure of two unsolved police investigations: The 2004 disappearance of Tamra KEEPNESS and the triple homicide of the HTOO/MAW family in 2010.
On July 6, 2004, then-five year-old Tamra Jewel KEEPNESS was reported missing. She was last seen at her home in the 1800 block of Ottawa Street at approximately 11:00 p.m. on Monday, July 5, 2004. The Regina Police Service has conducted hundreds of interviews and followed up on thousands of tips and leads. This work continues to this day. In spite of these efforts, Tamra KEEPNESS has not been located and we still do not have an explanation as to how or why she disappeared. In 2004, the Board of Police Commissioners offered a $25,000 reward for information leading to the location of Tamra KEEPNESS. That doubled to $50,000 in 2014 and was once again renewed by the Board of Police Commissioners today (December 12, 2023).
On August 6, 2010, 31 year-old Gray Nay HTOO, 28 year-old Maw MAW and three year-old Seven June HTOO were found, deceased, in their home on Oakview Drive. The victims were Karen refugees who had lived in Regina for approximately two years, having moved from a refugee camp in Thailand. Dozens of Regina Police Service investigators have worked tirelessly to solve this case. In addition to that we have received support from the RCMP, FBI and other law enforcement agencies. A $50,000 reward, initially offered in May of 2014, has been renewed by the Board of Police Commissioners.
The Regina Police Service continues to hold the murders of Gray Nay HTOO, Maw MAW and Seven June HTOO, and the disappearance of Tamra KEEPNESS as a priority. These files and investigations are assigned to the Regina Police Service Cold Case Investigator, whose responsibility is to continue these investigations which will include completing outstanding investigative tasks and follow up on any new information that comes to light. Together, the Cold Case Investigator and members of the Regina Police Service Victim Services Unit maintain close contact with family members in regards to these cases.
Anyone with information in these cases is encouraged to contact the Regina Police Service at 306-777-6500 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477.
