A Saskatchewan family grieving the kidnapping and murder of their son is demanding his remains be returned after they were stolen along with their truck from a Calgary residence.

On October 29, Shannon Garrioch was in Calgary visiting the father of her late son Allan, who was killed in early 2020. Garrioch said she was in the process of moving to Calgary.

On October 30, she awoke to find her van containing Allan’s ashes gone.

“The ashes are in a cream-colored urn with silver trim,” she said in an email to CTV News. “Any kind of contact is appreciated.”

Garrioch said she contacted police, who discovered some contents of her truck in a dumpster, but not the urn containing her son’s ashes.

“We just want our son’s remains back,” she said.

On February 25, 2020, Allan Douglas Garrioch, who lived in Humboldt, Saskatchewan, was reported missing after losing contact with his family.

Three people were eventually convicted of multiple charges, including murder, forcible confinement, burglary and assault with a weapon, among others.

Garrioch’s remains were discovered in the rural municipality of Bayne, Sask.
