Search underway for 32-year-old woman missing in Annapolis County
Nova Scotia RCMP say Kerstin Marie Wetter, who is five foot four inches tall with long blond hair and hazel eyes, went missing from a "loved ones" home near the 9500 block of Highway 10 in Nictaux at around 1:20 p.m Saturday.
She was wearing light blue jeans and a black tank top, police say.
"They were outside in the yard," said RCMP Cpl. Guillaume Tremblay on Sunday. "When the loved ones came back outside, Kerstin was not present."
Tremblay said Wetter left her car at the residence and it's believed she departed on foot.
Search and rescue operations began after she was reported missing at 8 p.m. Saturday, he said.
On Sunday, approximately 50 people were part of the active search, including volunteers from ground search and rescue teams in Lunenburg, Yarmouth, Clare, Annapolis Valley, Annapolis County, West Hants, and North Queens.
Tremblay said air support is being provided by a Department of Natural Resources helicopter and that remotely piloted aircraft systems from the RCMP and the Civil Air Search and Rescue Association have been deployed.
Anyone with information about Wetter's whereabouts is encouraged to contact Nova Scotia Crime Stoppers or to call the Annapolis District RCMP directly.

Waterloo says 'high likelihood' unapproved LiveBarn streams were active since May
The City of Waterloo says there is a "high likelihood" that unscheduled LiveBarn streams at the Waterloo Memorial Recreation Complex (WMRC) ran from May 1 to July 23. City staff were first made aware of the issue on July 23, when it was discovered that a LiveBarn camera meant for streaming minor hockey games was active outside scheduled times, livestreaming footage of children taking part in summer camp activities within view of the camera. A release from the city on Wednesday says the stream is only available to subscribers but, according to LiveBarn, none of the footage was downloaded or shared. The city says the WMRC was the only facility affected in Waterloo. It says other groups, outside of children's summer camps, may have been recorded during the extended period, too. The city says it has contacted all relevant renters of the space and the guardians of campers who may have been impacted. LiveBarn cameras remain offline in all Waterloo arenas while the city works with the Waterloo Minor Hockey Association and the Information and Privacy Commissioner of Ontario. LiveBarn confirms unauthorized livestreaming A LiveBarn spokesperson confirmed livestreaming cameras filmed summer camp programs at: The Waterloo Memorial Recreation Complex in Waterloo. Hespeler Arena and Dickson Arena in Cambridge. The Lions Arena and Grand River Arena in Kitchener. The City of Waterloo says according to its contract with LiveBarn, the livestreaming company is responsible for any information recorded through the camera. "The agreement states that LiveBarn has all responsibility for the cameras and associated equipment, including the operation and use, and signage," the city said in an emailed statement sent to CBC last month. The Ontario Information and Privacy Commissioner has been notified of the livestreaming issue. "We are in the early stages of gathering information to determine next steps and cannot share additional details at this time. We can follow up with you when there are further developments," said an emailed statement from the privacy commissioner's office to CBC in July.

Men charged in connection with 44 migrants found in truck in Quebec to stay detained
MONTREAL – Three men facing smuggling-related charges after 44 foreign nationals were found in a truck in southern Quebec on Sunday will remain detained until their next court hearing. Ogulcan Mersin, Dogan Alakus and Firat Yuksek appeared in a Sherbrooke, Que. courtroom today following their arrest over the weekend. Prosecutor Annabelle Racine objected to their release on several grounds, and the next date was set for Aug. 28. The suspects were arrested Sunday after police intercepted a cube truck carrying the foreign nationals in southern Quebec near the U.S. border. The men have been charged with inducing, aiding or abetting someone to commit an offence under the Immigration and Refugee Protection Act as well as assisting people to enter Canada outside of a designated customs office. One of the accused told the judge through a Turkish-language interpreter that they hadn't been able to speak with their families since their arrests. 'It's been very frustrating for us, since the moment we have been detained,' Yuksek said through the interpreter. 'We have not been in touch with our families, our families do not know where we are.' He explained that police had taken his cellphone and those of his co-accused, and they did not know the phone numbers of their families by heart. The accused all confirmed that they wished to be represented by legal aid lawyers. Racine objected to the accused's release on several grounds, including the risk that they will not appear for future dates and the need to protect public safety. RCMP spokesperson Charles Poirier said earlier this week that police intercepted a cube van at around 2:20 a.m. on Sunday after receiving information about a group of migrants planning to cross the border from the United States. He said the 44 migrants were mostly Haitian, and included a pregnant woman and children as young as four. They were dehydrated, 'visibly distraught' and in cramped conditions when police found them, he added. 'Just horrific conditions, really, that they were basically left in,' Poirier said after the arrest. In court, the men were asked not to communicate with a certain person, and were warned that more charges could follow if they did. One of the accused said the person 'was also in the vehicle,' before being advised by his lawyer not to say more in open court. This report by The Canadian Press was first published Aug. 6, 2025.
