Police divers enter river in search of missing Montreal boy

By The Canadian Press

Montreal police are using divers to search the Riviere des Prairies river Monday to search for Ariel Jeffrey Kouakou a week after the 10-year-old boy went missing.

This is the first time divers have entered the river since the boy left home last Monday afternoon and disappeared while walking to a friend’s house.

Officers have also gone door to door, searched backyards and used horses and all-terrain vehicles to search the Ahuntsic-Cartierville neighbourhood where the boy was last seen.

Police say they have received nearly 250 tips from the public since the boy disappeared.

Canadian boxer Adonis Stevenson, meanwhile, is donating $15,000 to the boy’s family, who had already announced a $10,000 reward to anyone who helps find their son.

The boy’s father has told reporters he’s convinced his son was abducted.
