Webb-Long was last in contact with family members in Ontario over social media on May 16, 2025, according to a previous Saskatchewan RCMP release issued in September 2025.
RCMP said the teen, originally from Brampton, had been living in Pelican Narrows around the time of his disappearance.
His disappearance was initially investigated as a missing persons case by Peel Regional Police before Saskatchewan RCMP Major Crimes took over the file in July 2025.
Police said residents in Pelican Narrows may continue to notice an increased police presence as the investigation remains ongoing.
RCMP have not released details about Webb-Long’s cause of death and have not announced any arrests or charges yet.
Investigators are asking anyone with information about the teen’s disappearance or death to contact Saskatchewan RCMP or Crime Stoppers.
