This is a very tragic ending for an amazing mom and her nine month old baby. Ayla is from Kugluktuk, Nunavut. They are cherished and beloved by their mother/grandmother, younger sister/aunt, uncle's, grandparents, cousins and father. Ayla and Braylee are my son's cousins, Andrea is his Aunt.

Andrea Egotik is Ayla's mother, she lives is in kugluktuk, with Aylas sister. Alas father lives in Iquluit are there as well. I started the fundraising to assist Andrea and her family to travel to Edmonton to pick up Aylas remains

Police said Thursday that Ayla Egotik-Learn, 23, was found dead in her apartment in the Rivercrest Crescent neighbourhood in St. Albert, Alta., after police were called on Jan. 23 after a report of a suspicious item.

RCMP say investigators learned that Egotik-Learn's nine-month-old daughter Braylee Beasley was missing, said Insp. Wayne Stevenson of the Serious Crimes Branch.

The RCMP presumes the nine-month-old to be deceased and has “some understanding” of where her remains are located, Stevenson said.

Police charged Christopher Beasley, 33, on Tuesday with one count of second-degree murder and two counts of indignity to a body. The second-degree murder charge pertains to the death of Egotik-Learn, police said.

Beasley is the infant's father and was in a relationship with Egotik-Learn at the time of the homicide, police said. Court records show that at the time of Egotik-Learn's death, Beasley was on probation for assaulting her last year.

Beasely pleaded guilty to assaulting Egotik-Learn in 2025 and was given a suspended sentence with 18 months of probation. Beasley faced three other charges involving Egotik-Learn, in early 2025, but they were withdrawn.

He is expected to appear in court on Feb. 2 at the Alberta Court of Justice in St. Albert.

Every dollar counts this family needs your help. Thank you
