A vehicle that was found destroyed in August near Polo Park mall in Winnipeg belonged to a missing man, police said.

Manitoba RCMP said Tuesday that a burned vehicle found in the 200 block of Queen Street belonged to Bud Paul, a missing 56-year-old who was last seen Aug. 1 at a Neepawa liquor store.

Police published an image of a woman they hope to speak with, saying they believe she and another man jumped in a taxi after abandoning the vehicle.
