On February 10, 2022, the remains of a deceased male were located in a rural area near Hague. Police have been able to confirm that the remains are those of Byron Bear, who was reported missing to Prince Albert Police Service in December 2021.
An autopsy of Byron Bear was scheduled for Monday, February 14, 2022.
Byron Bear was originally reported missing by his family on December 7, 2021 and thought to be involved in a serious assault that occurred in the early morning hours of December 6, 2021 in the 300 Block of 9th Street East.
