Search for missing boys in Nutimik Lake enters fourth day

Search-and-rescue crews are continuing their efforts to locate two boys, ages 10 and 13, who went missing in Nutimik Lake last week and are presumed drowned.

RCMP officers from the Lac du Bonnet detachment, HEART and the Manitoba RCMP Marine Unit are continuing their search of the water as well as the shoreline with the use of drones.

RCMP are asking all boaters in the area report anything that may help locate the two children, including clothing, personal belongings, footwear or any other items in the water or along the shoreline that appear out of place.

The boys, identified as brothers Aaron Au Ramirez, 13, and Maximo Au Ramirez, 10, were visiting Whiteshell Provincial Park with their father and some friends when they entered the water near the Sturgeon Falls Trail Saturday afternoon.

Anyone with information is asked to call the Lac du Bonnet RCMP at 204-345-8685.
