Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 25/03/2016 (3545 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
RCMP say they committed to the search for two-year-old Chase Martens as the search moves into its third day Friday.
The search resumed at 9 a.m. Friday morning after being halted late Thursday evening.
Drones are being deployed once again as police continue to map the search area.
RCMP reminds those flying aircraft to avoid in the area around Austin.
Chase Martens went missing Tuesday evening from his family’s farm in the Rural Municipality of North Norfolk, 120 kilometres west of Winnipeg.
On Thursday, Chase’s parents, Destiny and Thomas, issued a statement pleading for anyone with information to come forward.

Sun has thawed the first few centimetres of topsoil. That means volunteers are walking through soft muck.

Search-and-rescue crews are using unmanned aerial vehicles to keep track out each section systematically. The drones are mapping tools.

I saw one volunteer crew south of Road 70. That's three kilometres from the missing child's home.

Northwest of Martens home, volunteers are searching a flooded stand of aspen. Very rough terrain. Ice around last summer's cattails.

Search radius is approaching four kilometres.
