Provincial police are gearing up to issue a report on missing and murdered aboriginal people.

Superintendent Mark Pritchard, the commander of the OPP’s aboriginal policing bureau says police have been compiling the list of cases for about three years.

While there has been much focus on missing and murdered aboriginal women, the OPP say there will also be men on the list.

The trails of many cases have gone cold and a lot of killers are no longer being sought.

The OPP  hopes that fresh eyes, new technology and investigative techniques will help solve some of these cases.

According to the RCMP there have been over 1200 cases of missing and murdered aboriginals between 1980 and 2014.
