Human remains found on May 2nd in Lakeville have now been identified.
RCMP say they are 27-year-old Adam Grant Howard, who went missing in January.
Police are investigating this death as suspicious.
Howard was reported leaving his home in Irishtown on Route 115 and texted friends looking for a ride.
Grant’s remains were found on May 2nd, after police received reports of some of his belongings being located near a wooded lot in Lakeville.
His mother, Sandra Slater and other family members travelled to Greater Moncton in February to launch a search for Howard.
His family is heartbroken with the loss. Our newsroom received an email from Slater. She says, “This hurts like nothing I have felt before. It rips my heart out. I want to hear his voice again I want so badly one of his great big hugs and that is never going to ever happen again.”
