BURNS LAKE, B.C. – Police are asking the public for help in finding a seven-year-old girl missing from her home about 250 kilometres west of Prince George, B.C.
RCMP say Oaklynn Schwedder was last seen outside her home in the small community of Southbank, near Burns Lake, at 6 p.m. on Thursday.
They describe the girl as “on the autism spectrum” and non-verbal.

Police say they have “numerous resources” in the area, including search and rescue crews who are working with the girl’s family in the effort to find her.
The girl was last seen wearing a red and blue plaid dress, leggings with white bow ties and pink socks.
Anyone with information about her whereabouts is asked to contact police or Crime Stoppers.
