Johnson Redhead went missing last Wednesday, was found dead Sunday night
The former foster parent of a six-year-old boy who went missing and was later found dead in a northeastern Manitoba community is calling for an inquiry into his death.
Johnson Redhead was reported missing to RCMP in Shamattawa First Nation shortly after noon last Wednesday. Following a large-scale search, his body was found Sunday night in a marshy area about three and a half kilometres from the school where he was last seen.
Brittany Bannerman fostered Johnson Redhead in 2020, until a kinship placement was arranged two years ago that allowed his close relatives to take care of him.
