UPDATE: Missing boy’s body discovered along North Saskatchewan River
Police said the search for a little boy has shifted to the North Saskatchewan River.
Hundreds of volunteers joined police in Prince Albert to look for four-year-old Sweetgrass Kennedy, who hasn’t been seen since Thursday, May 10.
Kennedy is three-foot five and 45 pounds with brown hair and brown eyes. He was last known to be wearing a light-blue Star Wars hoodie and orange Halloween pajama pants.
But police say evidence, which they did not disclose, has prompted them to focus the search along the river.
Volunteers have been told to stay away from the river and leave the search to trained staff including police and firefighters, and police have said the river bank is dangerous.
“After numerous witness interviews conducted by police investigators as well as evidence located, the unified search command team are focusing all search efforts to the North Saskatchewan River,” Sgt. Travis Willie said Friday in a release.
“Due to the dangers associated with the river bank, emergency personnel are asking the public and volunteers to avoid the area.”
Police say their investigation indicates there is no cause for concern for public safety.
Earlier in the day, they asked the public to check video from 3 p.m. CT Thursday onward for any sign of Sweetgrass — who was reported missing after he was last seen in the 900-block of 2nd Street East.
