Warning: This story contains some details that may be painful for readers.
Brantford police are looking for a saboteur who spent more than four hours on Friday night sabotaging an indigenous child who died in a boarding school.
The only suspect captured by surveillance video arrived at the Woodland Cultural Center in Ontario-the site of a former boarding school, at around 10:30 pm EST on Friday. For the next four hours, the man burned many items left there to commemorate the victims of the boarding school system.
I felt like: Wow, if I had known this sooner, I could have been getting more information in the beginning and not eight months later, where I feel like some of this information is now lost.

Police found MacDougall, 37, dead at her home while performing a wellness check on March 11. When they broke the news to her family, Bates says they indicated she could have died of suicide, or an accidental overdose. (MacDougall previously had a problem with drug use, but her sister doesn t believe it could be a factor in her death.)
