New Developments in the Search for Samuel Bird
Edmonton Police have significantly narrowed their search for missing Indigenous teenager, Samuel Bird, after acquiring crucial new information. This development has shifted the focus to Carrot Creek, located around 160 kilometers west of Edmonton. Authorities now believe this area might be where the 14-year-old’s body was abandoned and concealed.
Breakthrough in Evidence Analysis
Detective Jared Buhler of the Edmonton Police Service stated that the compelling details which directed them to Carrot Creek were vital but did not disclose them due to investigative reasons. Det. Buhler likened the process to solving a puzzle, explaining to reporters in Carrot Creek that understanding different evidence pieces helped lead them to this specific location.
- Previous searches were conducted in a much broader area.
- The current focus is on the outskirts of this initial zone.
- Prompted immediate deployment of search canines.
Timeline Leading to Samuel’s Disappearance
Samuel was last captured on surveillance video on June 1 at 8:30 p.m., walking through Holy Cross School grounds around 151 Street and 104 Avenue. He then visited a friend’s house nearby at 150 Street and 106 Avenue, which was his last known location. Edmonton authorities are now treating his prolonged absence as suspicious and believe the death could be criminally motivated.

The duplex in the Canora neighborhood, where Samuel was last seen, became the focus of a police search on September 18.
