Chase Martens' little body was found in a creek, yesterday, just half a kilometer from his home. Foul play is not suspected, but an autopsy is being carried out and police are investigating the possibility anyway.
Please pray for his family.
2-year-old was last seen playing outside Austin, Manitoba, home at about 6 p.m. Tuesday

The search for missing toddler Chase Martens resumes today in rural Manitoba.
The two-year-old boy went missing Tuesday from his farm home near Austin, Man., about 120 kilometres west of Winnipeg.
Dozens of volunteers fanned out across fields and wooded areas around the community Thursday. Searchers formed tight clusters and scoured pasture land late into the evening.
On Friday, volunteers came together at about 9 a.m. CT and continued the search, RCMP Sgt. Bert Paquet said.
The search has expanded beyond a 1½- to 3½-square-kilometre radius around the farm Thursday, he added.
As a teen in Nova Scotia, I helped search for a toddler, smaller than Chase, whom we found about a mile and a half deep into the woods.
After a couple weeks of warm weather, temperatures have dropped below zero in the Austin area each night since the boy was reported missing, prompting search and rescue officials to issue an urgent plea for help in the search from residents in and around the community.
Drone surveillance and an underwater recovery team were added to the efforts Thursday.
The toddler is described as 2½ feet tall and 30 pounds, with blue eyes and light brown hair. He was last seen wearing a blue jacket, black splash pants, a red hat and boots that light up as he walks.
RCMP are asking anyone with information about his whereabouts to contact their local police department.
Michael Dunahee
Police say there is no evidence to indicate an abduction. Yesterday's search occurred 25 years to the day after the disappearance of 4 year old Michael Dunahee from a park in Victoria, British Columbia. Not trace of him has ever been found.
