A six-year-old boy who had been missing in a northeastern Manitoba First Nation since Wednesday has been found dead, RCMP said.
Search crews on the Shamattawa First Nation found Johnson Redhead dead around 7:45 p.m. Sunday night, Manitoba RCMP said in a news release. Her body was found in a swampy area, about three and a half kilometres from the school where she was last seen, the release said.
Johnson attended a breakfast program at a school in northeastern Manitoba First Nation on Wednesday morning but did not show up for class afterward, RCMP previously said.
Her disappearance sparked a massive search in the area by community members, volunteers and police.
“We extend our deepest condolences to his family, the Shamattawa First Nation community, and to all those mourning his loss,” the RCMP said in their release.
