The Regina Police Service (RPS) is scaling back its investigation into the disappearance of Tamra Keepness.

Keepness was five-years-old when she disappeared from her family home on July 2004, prompting one of the most intensive searches in Saskatchewan history, with people from across the country travelling to the Regina area to try to locate the little girl.

The RPS had a six-person task force handling the case up until recently, when four members of the team were reassigned. The remaining two officers will begin handling other cases by the end of June. The investigation will remain open and will be handled by the department's major crimes unit.
