In the quiet community of Frog Lake, Alberta, the family of 23-year-old Riley Berland has been living in a state of uncertainty since he was last seen on May 31, 2020. A young Indigenous man, Riley's disappearance has cast a long shadow over his loved ones and the wider community. At the time he went missing, he was described as being 5'10" to 6 feet tall, with a slender build, weighing around 160-161 pounds, with black hair and brown eyes.
The days turned into weeks, and the weeks into years, with no word from Riley, leaving his family deeply concerned for his safety and well-being.
The Elk Point RCMP opened an investigation into Riley's disappearance and have repeatedly asked the public for any information that might help locate him. Despite their efforts, there has been a painful lack of substantial leads in the case. The silence and lack of information have been a heavy burden for his family, who continue to hope for answers. Community members and online groups have shared his story, aiming to keep his memory in the public eye and to encourage anyone with information to come forward. He is also known by the last name Waskahat.
The passage of time has not eased the pain for Riley Berland's family. They continue to wait for any news that might bring closure. The case remains a poignant reminder of the ongoing crisis of missing and murdered Indigenous people. The official investigation continues, and his family holds onto the hope that one day they will know what happened to Riley. The community is left to grapple with the unsettling reality of a young man vanishing without a trace, and the profound impact of this unresolved loss.Last Seen: May 31, 2020
