Girl suffers hypothermia after going missing in Bankend

Jan 11, 2019 | 1:37 PM

A frightening disappearance has led to a happy ending for a Bankend family.

Late yesterday afternoon, a parent called Wynyard RCMP late yesterday afternoon to report their 11-year-old daughter left the house between 3 and 5 p.m.

The child was home sick, and upon returning to the home, the mother saw tracks in the snow leaving the residence.

A search team was quickly assembled as daylight was running out and temperatures were dropping.
