Police Believe Body of Missing Winnipeg Teen Found
A Winnipeg man faces a second-degree murder charge after police believe the body of a missing teen was located.
Seventeen-year-old Cooper Nemeth hadn't been seen since he left a team hockey party last weekend.
Police believe remains that were found in a bin on a property Saturday night are his, but they won't know for certain until an autopsy is done this week.
Twenty-two-year-old Nicholas Bell-Wright of Winnipeg was arrested yesterday morning.

Canada has been hit hard by falling oil prices and the weakened global economy.

Director Marisa Philippe says the 25 kids put in a lot of work for the show.

Bennet says she had lots of costume changes and couldn't find one prop, but "go on with the show!"
Philippe says she couldn't be happier with how everything turned out.
