His daughter, Viola Lavallee, shares what happened.
“He went to drop my brother off at hunting at Hollywood Beach, and it just takes 20 minutes to get back, and he hasn’t shown up. He was supposed to go there and back and drop him off, and he never made it back, and we’ve been searching all over.”
He was driving a 2004 red Ford Ranger with the licence plate GZX 936. Police are concerned for his safety and are asking anyone with information to call the Manitoba First Nations Police Service, Sandy Bay Detachment at 204-843-7700 or Viola at 204-892-0576.
