After nearly 28 hours, a five-year-old boy who went missing from Frog Lake First Nation was found safe Tuesday evening.
Jager Cross-Memnook was last seen jumping on the trampoline at his home at around 2:30 p.m., Elk Point RCMP said.
RCMP said he was found alive, in good condition, at around 6 p.m. Tuesday, roughly four kilometres east of the lake in the woods. The boy was taken to hospital to be treated “for exposure to the elements.”
More than 100 volunteers — nine First Nations, five municipalities, several search and rescue groups — as well as ATVS, helicopters from the Edmonton Police Service and RCMP police dog services, spent Tuesday searching for him.
“It’s remote, a lot of trees, a lot of bushes, a lot of lease roads, some bodies of water — a lot of ways he could have gone,” said RCMP Staff Sgt. David Graham.
“Our number-one priority is trying to bring Jager home safely.”
