Body of one of four hunters missing in northeastern Alberta recovered

FORT CHIPEWYAN, Alta. — The body of one of four men who went missing in northeastern Alberta a week ago has been found.

The RCMP say the body of 42-year-old Walter Ladouceur of Fort Chipewyan was recovered Sunday from the Rocher River.

An RCMP release issued Sunday night by the Fort Chipewyan detachment says a search and recovery effort is continuing for the three other men, who along with Ladouceur were reported missing on April 24.

The four had left on a hunting trip the previous night to an area known as Devil’s Gate which is near Fort Chipewyan.
