This is an epidemic in Canada. The lack of media, authority, and societal sympathy for cases of missing aboriginal women is disheartening. It sends a horrible message and to the communities involved that there are so few resources invested here.
I will do some research on this story, but from the sounds of it, there isn't much to go off of. I am local and willing to do some field research, but would require some direction as I am new to this. I understand boundaries but am unfamiliar with the criminal justice system (or lack thereof) in Quebec. If anyone wants to point me in the right direction or requires volunteers--doorknocking, calls, whatever--I want to make it known that I am available.

CIBC: Missing & Murdered Indigenous Women page http://www.cbc.ca/missingandmurdered/mmiw/profiles/tiffany-alice-morrison
Victim: Tiffany Morrison, female, 24
Location: south of Montreal, QC
Reward: 75,000 CAD
Missing: 18 June 2006
Reported missing: 4 July 2006
Remains found: 31 May 2010
If you have information, please call Ed Stacey of the Kahnawake Peacekeepers at 450-632-6505
Summary/notes:
- She lived on the reserve in Kahnawake with her child and her mother, Carol
- She had been drinking at a bar in Lasalle, Quebec, on the southern part of the island of Montreal, and shared a taxi back to her home in Kahnawake
- Rough trajectory: https://www.google.com/maps/dir/Las...22b64d23673deb!2m2!1d-73.6814763!2d45.4107847
- The man with whom she had been sharing the taxi told authorities he had debarked first at his house, leaving Tiffany in the car, therefore has no information about her murder. This is the last time she was seen.
- This man has allegedly been named as a POI and has refused a lie detector test (source: http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/montreal/remains-of-missing-kahnawake-woman-id-d-1.895841)
- The taxi driver was unable to be specified after investigation by police as taxi drivers in Quebec often keep spotty fare records
- The company was apparently Angrignon Taxi, whose records do not stretch back that far
- At the time of her murder, Tiffany had apparently finished an "entrepreneurial training program" and had plans to apply for a loan so she could start her own business
- Her skeletal remains were found "in a wooded area along the eastbound Route 138-132 Service Road near the Adirondack Junction" // "by a construction worker in a wooded area near the Mercier Bridge, which links Montreal to the South Shore region"
- Google street view of approximate location: https://www.google.com/maps/dir/Las...22b64d23673deb!2m2!1d-73.6814763!2d45.4107847
- The bones were covered with branches
- After the remains were found, the case was handed over from the Kahnawake Peacekeepers (on-reserve) to the Sureté du Québec due to suspicion of foul play
- The investigator in charge of her case is allegedly convinced that someone in the public knows something and is not coming forward

12 years after Tiffany Morrison vanished, change has come to how police handle missing person cases - APTN News
"According to Melanie Morrison, the man Tiffany shared the cab with got out first.
“He is the last person to see her,” says Morrison.
“He said he’d take a lie detector test, then four days before he bowed out for religious reason, saying his longhouse wouldn’t let him.”
Kahnawà:ke police say he was a suspect – but now that the file has been transferred to the Surete du Quebec (SQ), and it’s not clear whether that is still the case.
The cab driver was also a person of interest but has never been identified."
Tiffany is still waiting for justice, and as long as she’s stuck, we fight”
"The marchers turn off Hwy 132 and enter the woods.
“Speak up, answers now, justice for Tiffany Morrison,” they shout even though they no longer have an audience.
A memorial to Tiffany lies in the shade of several trees, close to where she was found.
Melanie has described Tiffany as having boundless energy with an infectious laugh, the sort of person who could pick you up if you’re feeling down.
Her memorial is in contrast to that, a somber place of solitude.
The marchers gathered round, touch the wooden cross bearing Tiffany’s name, say an unspoken prayer.
The wind from the approaching storm shakes the leaves, the occasional nervous birdsong is almost loud enough to drown the sound of the nearby highway.
A Mi’gmaq honour song is played out of respect for the paternal side of the Morrison family.
Melanie thanks the marchers for coming and vows to be back next year.
“It doesn’t matter if it’s just her family, or ten people or two people behind us, we’re going to be out here raising awareness. Tiffany is still waiting for justice, and as long as she’s stuck, we fight,” she says."

''Tiffany Morrision, from Kahnawake, Que., went missing on June 18, 2006. Her remains were found four years later.
''It's been 14 years since Tiffany Morrison was last seen or heard from, but the family of the young mother from Kahnawake, Que., hopes that a new poster campaign will help spread awareness about the unresolved homicide case.
"It means more possibilities of people coming forward because the more her face is out there, the more pressure it puts on the people that know," said Melanie Morrison, Tiffany's older sister.
Tiffany, 24, was last seen on June 18, 2006 in the LaSalle area of Montreal, before getting into a taxi with a man. She never made it home. Four years later, her remains were found in a wooded area at the foot of the Honoré Mercier Bridge that connects LaSalle with Kahnawake.''

''There’s also Tiffany Morrison from Kahnawake, who was last seen in Lasalle in 2006. Her remains were later found in the community four years later. Her sister, Melanie Morrison, holds information and awareness events every year under the banner “Justice for Tiffany Morrison.”
“Even though we don't have any information on cold cases, we’re still looking (for it),” said SQ officer Nicolas Scholtus-Champagne.
“We're still gathering information through the family, through the community,” he said.''
For his part, John Allore says he wants Quebec’s police to be more proactive when it comes to cold cases.
“The SQ’s current position is ‘call us, email us information,’ so it's a very passive approach,” he said. “They're waiting for the phone to ring.”
The SQ denies being passive and says it has 25 people working cold cases. And while long-silent witnesses do come forward on occasion, science is their biggest tool in uncovering long-hidden clues.
“Due to technologies like DNA coming out,” explained Scholtus-Champagne, “it can lead to a positive outcome of the case.”
Quebec provincial police update cold case website as families wait for answers
Quebec’s provincial police force is revamping its cold-case website with intentions of making it more user-friendly, and hopefully leading to resolutions to previously dead-end investigations.
“Even though we don't have any information on cold cases, we’re still looking (for it),” said SQ officer Nicolas Scholtus-Champagne.
