Manitoba RCMP continue to search for Patrik Mathews.

On September 2, 2019, at approximately 3:55 pm, officers from the Sprague RCMP detachment received a report of an abandoned vehicle located on a rural property in the RM of Piney, located off of Highway 12 near Road 81E.

Officers attended the location and confirmed the vehicle as belonging to Patrik Mathews. A search of the immediate area did not locate him.

The vehicle is believed to have been parked at this location for approximately a week.

The RCMP believe Mathews may be under a significant amount of pressure due to this ongoing investigation and the extensive media coverage it has garnered. Anyone who sees him is asked to call police immediately and to avoid engaging with him.
