Just on the off chance that someone here hasn't seen the news or read about this on facebook.

Sorry but your link is not working.  
But his name is Owen Bedford. We are looking for any information, video from doorbell cams anything.  
There is a search party at the Clara tent at the Keystone Center starting June 18th.  
 
Thank you. We pray that he will come back to us.

I'm so sorry. My son has checked our cameras but there was nothing there. I hope everyone in Brandon will do the same.

SEARCH UPDATE…We need shares on this one please as the description is different than what is being circulated.  
The lead involving Precision Toyota has been fully reviewed and is not relevant to this investigation. It is no longer a point of interest.  
Our search has returned to the last confirmed sighting of Owen at Houston’s. We are now actively searching north from that location.  
We continue to ask all residents and businesses to carefully review any security, doorbell, or dash cam footage from 1:45 AM to 5:00 AM. Any activity — no matter how small — may help us eliminate areas and focus our search.  
Updated Clothing Description:  
Beige and white Air Force sneakers  
Light-colored ripped jeans  
Grey hoodie with “Las Vegas” on the front  
NO HAT  
Important:  
Even if you review your footage and see nothing during that time period, we still ask that you email us to confirm. Please include your address or general location so we can properly clear areas.

Thank you to everyone for your continued support and cooperation as we work to bring Owen home.

For a photo of Owen please go to the Brandon Police Service. I don't know how to get one here as copy and paste isn't working for me.

I am attaching the poster that was shared on social media, as well as the additional photo shared by BPS.

Posted on social media.

Edit to add that the following was posted by family:

BPS just made an announcement that the search is over.  
 
The news isn't good, unfortunately.

Please pray for his mother as she is going through this very difficult time. And with her other 3 children. And his father. The entire family has felt this shock wave today. Grandparents, aunts, uncles and friends.

I was so sad to read the announcement that Owen had been found deceased. Was hoping for a miracle. My thoughts and prayers to his family and friends.
