Almost nine months after the mysterious death of Calgary woman who was found lying on a city pathway with serious injuries, police appear to have finally made a breakthrough in the case.
Calgary police were called out to the Nose Creek Pathway around 4 a.m. on Dec. 9, 2024, for reports a passerby had discovered a woman in medical distress.
Twenty-three-year-old Jelisa Maschki was rushed to hospital with life-threatening injuries, where she later died.
Police said it appeared she was the victim of an assault and that the homicide unit was investigating.
Despite several public pleas by police for information into her death, it appeared investigators were no closer to making an arrest.
However, late Friday evening, Calgary police announced 29-year-old Nehemiah Walter John Oslund of Cranbrook, B.C., had been charged with manslaughter in relation to Maschki’s death.

Oslund was taken into custody in B.C. and police are working on a plan to transport him back to court in Calgary at a later date.
Investigators believe Maschki and Oslund, who were unknown to each other, had a brief interaction along the pathway that caused the injuries that led to her death.
Police continue to ask any members of the public who have information about the case to contact them at 403-266-1234.
