RCMP say Jager Cross-Memnook was last seen Monday at about 2:30 p.m. in Frog Lake Cree Nation, about 260 kilometres northeast of Edmonton. Jager is three-and-a-half feet, weighs 60 pounds and has pale skin and red hair. Police also say he is non-verbal.

CBC NewsJager Cross-Memnook is non-verbal, RCMP say. He is three-and-a-half feet and weighs about 60 pounds.

"This young man — young boy, I should say — is autistic. He can't speak, so it makes it very difficult for us." "Our children are loaned to us, that's our belief," Desjarlais said. "They're gifts. And this little boy, a lot of people love him. He has a lot of energy. He has that gift of his own spirit inside him."

Desjarlais said there are 250 to 300 people searching for Jager. The searchers include people from about 10 First Nations and Métis settlements, he said, as well as RCMP members and others. "We just want to find him. We want to find him alive. And we want to celebrate his life and help him grow into an old man."

The terrain is remote, with lots of trees and bushes, a lot of lease roads and some bodies of water, Graham said.
