RCMP searching for car with Saskatchewan plate in Manitoba homicide investigation
RCMP in Manitoba are asking for help in identifying a vehicle they say is connected with the death of a Brandon man last year.
James Vernon Giesbrecht, 37, was found dead in a wooded area near the RM of Cornwallis in October 2022. He was officially identified in January 2023, after he was reported missing in December 2022. Police are investigating his death as a homicide.
RCMP said they have revealed a connection between Giesbrecht’s death and a grey 2007 Honda Accord with a Saskatchewan licence plate. The vehicle was seen in the Brandon area between Oct. 5 and Oct. 13, 2022.
