Missing Teulon area man's car found near Starbuck
A relative of a missing Teulon, Man.-area man says she's 'holding out for a miracle' that her loved one will be found. Lana Knor's second cousin, 69-year-old Stewart Campbell, was last seen around 3:30 a.m. on July 15. He was reported missing by friends to Stonewall RCMP two days later. On July 24, RCMP located his vehicle on Road 3 West, north of Highway 2, roughly seven kilometres east of Starbuck. Campbell was not with the vehicle. 'He pulled off here because he was out of gas,' Knor said. 'He had his cat with him, and nobody knows where he is from there.' Knor said Campbell, a lifelong Interlake cattle producer, suffers from rheumatoid arthritis, and friends had been trying to get him help after noticing changes in his behaviour. Story continues below advertisement 'We assume he has dementia or something very wrong with memory loss,' she said. 'Every tip is looked into to see if we can get any leads, but as for now, we're at a status quo,' said Manitoba RCMP Media Relations Officer Melanie Roussel.

View image in full screen 69-year-old Stewart Campbell was reported missing on July 17. Manitoba RCMP located his vehicle on a dirt road east of Starbuck a week later. 'We're just playing a guessing game and we don't have a clue,' said his second cousin Lana Knor. Submitted by Lana Knor RCMP issued a Silver Alert, a notification of a missing vulnerable adult, for Campbell on July 18 on social media. The family of another missing Manitoba man is petitioning the House of Commons to create a National Silver Alert System that would send geographically-targeted notifications to cellphones in the area of the missing person. Story continues below advertisement While the RCMP has access to the National Public Alerting System, which sends emergency notifications to phones and broadcasts, they are not authorized to use it to push Silver Alerts. 'It's just not in the criteria for that, so you would not never get a signal on your phone like you would do for a tornado watch or that kind of situation,' Roussel said. Knor says an alert may have helped in Campbell's case. 'He was quiet. He minded his own business. But if somebody had gotten a picture of him on their cellphone, they would have went, 'Hey, I saw that guy,' right? And maybe there would be reports,' she said. Knor says she is trying to remain optimistic her relative will be found. 'The clock is ticking. He's been missing now quite a long time,' she said. She urges people in the Starbuck and Teulon areas to check their properties for him. 'He's been a survivor and independent for most of his life, so I'm gonna cross my fingers that that has kicked in… and that he's just somewhere we haven't found him yet. 'But regardless of the outcome, we just want to find him.' Story continues below advertisement Manitoba RCMP describe Campbell as approximately five-feet-eight-inches tall, 110 lbs. with shaggy grey hair, blue eyes, and clean-shaven. Anyone with information is encouraged to call 911, Crime Stoppers, or the Stonewall RCMP at 204-467-5015.

Community rallies to support son, family of Teulon murder victim
A 37-year-old man who was fatally shot in his Teulon home has been identified, as community members raise funds to support his family. Sean Lawson, 37, was found in his home by Stonewall RCMP on 7th Avenue Southeast in Teulon on July 13 with life-threatening injuries. He was transported to hospital and later pronounced dead. A donation fund has been created to support Lawson's 12-year-old son, according to a Friday Facebook post. The money raised will pay for counselling and other resources for the son and family members, along with contributing towards a post-secondary education fund. Richelle Rae-Anne, a friend of Lawson, said his death robbed people of their father, son and brother. 'It's heart-shattering that this senseless and horrific crime could happen to such an amazing human being,' she said in separate Facebook post. 'Sean was one of the best humans I've ever known.' Donavin Skogan, 24, of Traverse Bay has been charged with second-degree murder. fpcity@
