Quebec police seek important witness in case of missing three-year-old Montreal girl
Quebec provincial police say they are seeking an important witness in the case of three-year-old Claire Bell of Montreal, who has been missing since Sunday.
Police are looking for a woman who worked and lived on a farm, and who they say met the toddler's 34-year-old mother some time on Sunday between 9:45 a.m. and 3:30 p.m.
Police say the woman speaks both English and French, wore an apron with the word 'abondance' across the front and could be in either in southwestern Quebec or Ontario.
Police allege that Rachel-Ella Todd parked her vehicle outside a store in Coteau-du-Lac, west of Montreal, on Sunday afternoon, went inside and told staff that she didn't know where her daughter Claire was.
Provincial police found a dead dog on Monday that looked like a family pet that was also missing.
Todd has been charged with one count of unlawful abandonment of a child.

Missing Montreal toddler Claire Bell found alive in Ontario
Quebec police officials say three-year-old Claire Bell was located by a drone deployed by Ontario's provincial police after being missing for several days. Claire Bell, a Montreal toddler who has been missing since Sunday, has been found alive in Ontario, Quebec provincial police confirmed to CTV News. The girl was spotted alone on the side of Highway 417 near St. Albert, Ont. on Wednesday at around 3 p.m. by an Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) drone and then taken by officers to a nearby hospital.

We provided some first aid, water, and food,' said Éloïse Cossette, a spokesperson with the Sûreté du Québec (SQ), in an update to the media. 'The priority is just to make sure she is OK.' Police say they received a lead about her location earlier in the day after announcing that the girl had been spotted near Casselman and St. Albert, in Ontario, the day she went missing. Claire Bell Claire Bell was last seen on June 14 near Newman Boulevard in Montreal's LaSalle borough. (Handout/Sûreté du Québec) There are still many unanswered questions about what happened to the three-year-old girl, but police say they are just relieved that she was found safe. 'All I can tell you right now is we're happy that she's alive. It's the best scenario possible,' said Cossette. The SQ and the OPP will hold a news conference Wednesday evening to provide more information about the investigation. Girl's mother appears in court The girl's discovery came minutes after her mother, Rachel-Ella Todd, appeared at the Valleyfield courthouse to face a charge of child abandonment. Todd, 34, was arrested and charged Monday evening. Rachel-Ella Todd A screenshot of a TikTok video showing Rachel-Ella Todd, 34, with her daughter, Claire Bell.

A video published on the mother's TikTok account on the same day she reported her daughter missing shows her holding her daughter in her arms, visibly angry. 'You try that again and this is going to get ugly,' Todd says in the video as her daughter looks into the camera. The caption on the video says, 'Have you come up against a mother with nothing to lose????' It's not clear who her remarks were directed at. Her daughter was last seen at 9:45 a.m. Sunday near her home on Newman Boulevard in Montreal's LaSalle borough. Later that afternoon, Todd walked into a store in Coteau-du-Lac, in Quebec's Montérégie region, to say that she had lost her daughter. Police question important witness Earlier on Wednesday, police said they interviewed an important witness, a farmer, who spoke with Todd on the day she reported her daughter's disappearance. 'This woman would have met the suspect Sunday between 9:45 a.m. and 3:30 p.m. during the day, so she is an important witness,' said Cossette. Eric Sutton, a criminal defence attorney, points out that child abandonment is not a charge that is often seen. 'It's a starting point,' he explains. 'It allows the prosecution to take charge of this person [Todd].' Depending on how the case unfolds, Sutton says he expects other charges could follow. 'If the child is found in bad shape and needs immediate medical care to survive, it would be criminal negligence causing bodily harm, which is a serious charge up to 10 years in jail,' Sutton states. The lawyer points out that despite the disturbing nature of the case, Todd is not obliged to cooperate with police officers. 'It's unfortunate, probably, from the public's standpoint that this woman, who probably knows what happened, is not cooperating, but our legal system is made that way,' said Sutton. 'No one actually has to divulge anything to the police, even if someone's life is in danger.' As the search for Bell entered its fourth day Wednesday, the SQ had deployed helicopters, drones and ground search crews in the hopes of finding the young girl. Dany Chaput, chairperson of the board of the search and rescue group Recherche Sauvetage Estrie, which was involved in the search, noted that the area scouted by police was vast. Additionally, Noovo Info reports that Todd recently quit her job with Corner Collection, a group of hotels, restaurants and spas. Although employees did not want to discuss the case, they confirmed that Todd, who had served as a director since 2019, quit on June 6. No Amber Alert An Amber Alert has not been issued in this case, as the Sûreté du Québec (SQ) says it does not meet the necessary criteria of suspected abduction. An Amber Alert is only issued when all three of the following criteria are met:
