卑诗省本拿比皇家骑警搜寻失踪的11岁男孩；皇家骑警发起全省广告牌宣传活动寻找失踪的11岁男孩凯·帕夫洛维奇。IHIT表示，本拿比皇家骑警于2025年9月26日收到核查凯·帕夫洛维奇安危的请求。警方“尽管付出巨大努力”仍未能找到他，案件随后被移交至严重犯罪部门，之后又移交至IHIT。
Mounties in Burnaby, B.C., searching for missing 11-year-old boy RCMP launch province-wide billboard campaign to find missing 11-year-old Kai Pavlovic IHIT said Burnaby RCMP received a request to check Kai Pavlovic's well-being on Sept. 26, 2025. Police were unable to find him "despite significant efforts," and the case was escalated to the serious crimes unit, and then to IHIT.
据新闻稿称，调查最终发现了帕夫洛维奇的遗体。警方未说明遗体被发现的时间和地点。
The investigation ultimately led to the discovery of Pavlovic's remains, according to the release. Police did not say when or where his remains were found.
“我们认识到这起调查在社区内引发的担忧，我们的心与凯的亲人以及受这场悲剧影响的人们同在，”方警长（Sgt. Freda Fong）在IHIT的新闻稿中说。“我们感谢公众的协助以及主动提供信息。”去年10月，警方表示他们认为帕夫洛维奇与一名“看护人”在一起，但几乎没有透露其他细节。他们曾要求这名看护人出面确认孩子安全。警方去年发起了全省范围的广告牌宣传活动来寻找帕夫洛维奇。
"We recognize the concern this investigation has caused within the community, and our thoughts are with Kai’s loved ones and those affected by this tragedy," Sgt. Freda Fong said in IHIT's release. "We thank the public for their assistance and for coming forward with information." In October last year, police said they believed Pavlovic was with a "caretaker" but shared few other details. They had asked the caretaker to come forward and confirm he was safe. Police launched a province-wide billboard campaign to find Pavlovic last year.
