Found Friday Afternoon
The two teenagers were located Friday afternoon, about an hour after Manitoba RCMP issued a news release asking the public for help finding them. Police have said only that the pair were found safe. No further detail has been released on where they were located, who found them, or their condition beyond that they were found safe. The boy had last been seen late Thursday morning, police said. No last seen time has been given for the girl.
A Community That Searched Through The Night
The search drew in the whole community before police found the pair. Ebb and Flow Elementary and High School closed early Friday at 1 p.m. so staff could join the search, the school said in a notice to parents. Family members posting online said volunteers searched through the night until 6 a.m. and asked neighbours to check houses, sheds and shelters. The quick end to the search brought relief across the community, with family and community posts sharing the news that the two teens had been found.
Names Withheld To Protect Their Privacy
With the teens found safe, CBC says it has removed their names and photos from its report to protect their privacy. This update follows the same approach and does not name them. When police first asked the public for help, the names were part of the appeal. Now that the two teenagers are safe, the focus is on the outcome, not their identities.
