UPDATE: LOCATED SAFE – Search underway for missing non-verbal 6-year-old near Burns Lake, BC
Share on FacebookShare on Twitter




It is being reported by multiple sources that Oaklynn Schweder has been located safe. We will post more when available.

Original:

RCMP are searching for a non-verbal six-year-old who went missing from her home near Burns Lake, B.C., Thursday night.

Police say Oaklynn Schwedder was last seen outside her home at 6:00 p.m. PT on Sept. 19 wearing a red and blue plaid dress, dark blue leggings with white bows on them, and pink socks. In a Facebook post, her mother says she was not wearing any shoes.

The girl went missing from her home in the community of Southbank, a rural community just south of François Lake. It’s about 25 kilometres south of Burns Lake and 200 kilometres west of Prince George.

Family has advised that she is on the autism spectrum and non-verbal.

“I just want my baby,” her mother says in the Facebook post. “Please continue praying.”

The mother says numerous community members are also involved in helping find her child.

Public asked to stay with child if found

In an email, RCMP Cpl. Alex Bérubé said if anyone finds the child, they are asked to call police and search teams and stay with her until help arrives.

RCMP say they have deployed “numerous resources” to the search, which includes ground teams searching in grids, as well as drone operators.

Because there is poor cell service in the region, satellite communication is being set up and a search and rescue team is establishing a command centre to coordinate community members joining the search, he said.

Bérubé said a dog services team had been deployed but was called off because the number of people out searching contaminated the area.

Anyone with information is asked to call police or Crime Stoppers.
