ST. JOHN’S, N.L. — Police in southern New Brunswick have identified the remains of a man who was reported missing from the Saint John area in December 2020.
The Saint John Police Force issued a statement today saying the body of 32-year-old Kyle Richard Leblanc was recently found in the Lakewood Heights area.
That’s the same densely wooded location where he was last seen almost two years ago.
Police say a number of searches for Leblanc were conducted in 2021, but they turned up nothing.
Skeletal remains were found by a hiker last Friday.
The body was identified using dental records, and police are continuing their investigation into Leblanc’s death.
