Rapid reporting gives police the best chance to retrace movements and focus search resources effectively.

We encourage residents in and around Thompson to stay alert for individuals who match Scott Saunders’ description, particularly along travel routes in and out of the community. If you believe you may have seen him, do not wait to be certain—share what you know with Thompson RCMP or Crime Stoppers. In missing person situations, timely public tips often make the difference. Our mission at CrimeCanada.ca is to support safer communities across Manitoba by amplifying official alerts, promoting awareness, and encouraging prompt, responsible reporting of information that could help bring missing individuals home.
