Missing boy, 5, found alive east of Edmonton
A five-year-old boy who disappeared from Frog Lake First Nation was found Tuesday evening, more than 24 hours after he disappeared.
Police helicopters, officers and dogs and more than 100 members of the public searched for the little boy, who was last seen at his home at 2:30 p.m. Monday.
The boy's uncle told CTV News Edmonton "he went outside and he climbed over the deck gate and went for a walk."
Police said the boy was found "a few kilometres from his home" and would be treated for "exposure to the elements."
"RCMP would like to thank the public for their outpouring of support and hours spent searching, the media for spreading the word, and the Edmonton Police Service for their assistance," a news release stated.
Frog Lake First Nation is about 250 kilometres east of Edmonton.
