Just over three years have now passed since Happy Charles was last seen in Prince Albert, but police have not given up their search.

As part of the ongoing investigation, investigators with the Prince Albert Police Service recently searched a rural area outside the city. The exact location was not disclosed.

According to the Prince Albert Police, members with the Criminal Investigations Division were following up on information identifying a possible location connected to Charles’ disappearance. Unfortunately, the area described is vast and the information provided was not enough to determine the exact location.
