THE FLIN FLON REMINDER — RCMP are looking for an alleged kidnapper after an early morning abduction Tuesday in Sherridon. The victim has been found safe, but 29-year-old Rory Thomas is still at large.
RCMP are on the lookout for Thomas, who police believe abducted 29-year-old Angelica McKay from Sherridon early July 4.
Around 6 a.m. Tuesday, Cranberry Portage RCMP were called to a possible abduction in Sherridon, according to a Manitoba RCMP announcement. Through information received during the investigation, RCMP believe Thomas, 29 years old originally from Thompson, had abducted 29-year-old McKay.

In a second announcement issued around 2 p.m. local time, RCMP confirmed that McKay had been found safe in Cold Lake, Man., not far from Sherridon. According to police, she is physically unharmed.
While McKay has been found, Thomas' whereabouts are still unknown. Police are requesting people in Sherridon, Cranberry Portage, Flin Flon or other nearby areas to keep a look out for Thomas and to report any information or sightings to RCMP. An RCMP Emergency Response Team is en route to Sherridon to help police with the search for the alleged kidnapper.
