The RCMP's Historical Case Unit's asking for your help in solving a nine year old murder case in Portage la Prairie.

On November 1st 2007, 49 year old Charlene Ward was found dead in her home.

RCMP Media Relations Officer Tara Seel says they put out calls like this on a number of cases dating back five years or more.

"To remind the public that these cases aren't forgotten, that we're still working very hard on them, these are very active investigations. And someone out there knows something, and I think that's what really spurs us on to be putting this out to the public again, that any information, however small you think it is, let us know about it. We may not know."

Seel stresses stresses the case has never been closed.

"The RCMP has worked on this case from the moment we became aware Charlene Ward was deceased, and we haven't stopped working on it. But what we need now is help from the public, because there are pieces of this puzzle that we are missing, and we believe that someone out there has a piece to this puzzle. We are asking that person to come forward and help us find justice for Charlene."
