A Brampton teenager who had been missing for more than a year has been found dead in Saskatchewan, and police are now treating the case as suspicious. According to Global News, the remains of 16 year old Jay’siiah Webb-Long were discovered on May 13 during a planned search near Pelican Narrows, Saskatchewan.
Saskatchewan RCMP confirmed that an autopsy was completed on May 15, but investigators have not released the teen’s cause of death. Police have also not announced any arrests or charges as the investigation continues.
Webb-Long was last in contact with family members in Ontario through social media on May 16, 2025. According to a previous RCMP release, he was originally from Brampton but had been living in Pelican Narrows around the time he disappeared.
The case was first handled as a missing persons investigation by Peel Regional Police before Saskatchewan RCMP Major Crimes took over the file in July 2025. Residents in Pelican Narrows may continue to see an increased police presence as officers carry out further investigative work in the area.
