Every day on his way to work in 2016, Veldon Coburn drove past Bordeleau Park, by the edge of the Rideau River near downtown Ottawa.
On a September day that year, while he drove past the park, Coburn heard on the radio that a body had been found in the river.
This year, Sept. 19 marked the sixth anniversary of Pootoogook's death. Napachie turned 10 years old the same month. Coburn said that at each anniversary, he wonders if he should be doing more to find answers for his daughter about what happened to her biological mother. In a statement, her niece Tracy Sarazin said the family is now looking for "answers and justice," and they are demanding a thorough investigation into what happened to Papatsie.The Ottawa-Gatineau region has the third-largest Inuit population among major Canadian cities. According to the 2021 census data, the population increased by 35 per cent over five years to 1,730.

The Native Women's Association of Canada is working on upgrading a program called "Safe Passage," which it has used to track cases of missing and murdered Indigenous women and girls and to warn others about areas to avoid.
