After decades of fruitless searches or spurious findings, the first named child being looked for by a named relative of the “15,000 to 25,000 … maybe even more” children said to be missing by Murray Sinclair, former Chair of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission of Canada, has likely been found according to the contents of a recent CBC story.
