Edmonton police say the remains of missing Indigenous teenager Samuel Bird were found on Thursday morning, and one suspect has been arrested and charged with second-degree murder.

The Edmonton Police Service says Samuel’s remains were located in a “rural area outside of Edmonton.” Authorities did not confirm if they were found in Carrot Creek, a largely wooded and agricultural area about 160 kilometres west of Edmonton where professional searchers and cadaver dogs began searching last week.

“After a lengthy and complex investigation, we are pleased to be able to conclude this file and hopefully bring some measure of resolution and justice to Samuel’s loved ones, who have been searching tirelessly for him,” said primary investigator Det. Jared Buhler with the EPS Homicide Section.
