Almost one year has passed since a 66-year-old man was killed in the Fairhaven neighbourhood of Saskatoon and the case remains unsolved with few leads.
Just after 6 a.m. on June 12, Harvey Myron Zoerb’s body was found outside of Fairhaven School. Paramedics tended to his injuries, and he was then taken to the hospital where he died shortly after.

Fairhaven School cancelled classes for the day while the police service investigated, but there have been no arrests or suspects named publicly.
“We have not been providing very much by way of updates predominantly because, at this point, there are not a whole lot of leads to follow up on,” Saskatoon Police Chief Cam McBride said on Tuesday.
Speaking on The Evan Bray Show, McBride said the tragedy “rocked the neighbourhood,” leaving residents worried about safety.
“A year later I think many individuals within that community are still feeling it,” he said.

During the Saskatoon police investigation, residents in the area around the school were asked to check their yards, garbage bins and security footage for any evidence.
McBride emphasized how crucial it is for community members to come forward with any information that could help move the investigation forward.
“Speak up. Speak out. Say something.”
Zoerb loved to walk, enjoyed music and was a cancer survivor who spent the last part of his life in group and special care homes.
His memorial service was held on June 17, 2024 at the Deslile Community Church.
The eulogy, delivered by Cam Fraser, described Zoerb as someone who grew up on a family farm and loved to ride horses.
It was said that Zoerb also played guitar and loved to sing the Johnny Cash song Folsom Prison Blues.
