Three-year-old Quebec girl missing since Sunday found alive by police in Ontario
MONTREAL — A three-year-old Montreal girl who was reported missing on Sunday was found alive by police in Ontario, bringing a joyful end to an intense search spanning four different days and two provinces.
Claire Bell was spotted by an Ontario Provincial Police drone around 2 p.m. Wednesday, alone along an on-ramp for Highway 417 near the rural community of St. Albert, Ont., about 50 kilometres west of the Quebec border.
“The missing three-year-old from Montreal was found safe and has been assessed by medical personnel,” Ontario Provincial Police Acting Staff Sergeant Shaun Cameron told an evening press briefing alongside Quebec provincial police.
“This search proves that when a child goes missing, there are no interprovincial boundaries. There is only one goal: to find them.”
