The mother of a missing New Brunswick teen who disappeared under suspicious circumstances is making a plea for information that will help bring her son home.
Brayden Joseph Thibault of St. Stephen, N.B. was last seen on Fredericton’s north side the afternoon of July 31.
Police say the 17-year-old boy’s disappearance has been deemed suspicious and foul play is suspected, but no arrests have been made.
Amanda Frigault read a statement on behalf of the family at RCMP headquarters in Fredericton Friday morning, asking anyone with information about her son to contact police or Crime Stoppers.
"Please help them find Brayden, help them bring him home and help begin to heal the hearts of all the people who love him,” said Frigault. “I miss my son. I miss his smiles, his hugs, his sense of humour and his sarcasm.”
Frigault said she wanted to come from a place of love rather than fear or anger.
“It is difficult though, not to be angry or scared. Angry that I couldn't protect him. Angry that someone knows what happened to him but will not come forward. And scared that i may never find him,” she said.
Frigault has also recorded and released a video, which is being shared by the New Brunswick RCMP.
“You all have someone in your life that you love, and if you were forced to live a moment of this nightmare, I would pray that the people who had information would come forward. My family is asking for the same respect and compassion that we would show yours.”
Thibault is described as five-foot-eight inches tall and 160 pounds. He has short brown hair and brown eyes. He has a tattoo on his inner left arm that reads “Trust your struggles.”
Anyone with information on his whereabouts is asked to contact the RCMP.
