Samuel Bird, the Edmonton teenager who has been missing since June 1, is presumed to be dead, and police believe his death to be criminal in nature.

Edmonton Police Service homicide investigators say the 14-year-old was last seen on surveillance video that evening at 8:30 p.m. walking through the grounds of Holy Cross School near 151 Street and 104 Avenue.

He then went to a friend’s house at 150 Street and 106 Avenue, they say, where he was last seen. Police conducted a search warrant at the home on Sept. 18.

Firefighters and police were called to that very duplex this week – in the early hours of Sept. 29 – for a fire.
