She allegedly assisted her son, Lloyd Wesley Boudreau, who is wanted for first-degree murder, evading the police and disposing of physical evidence of the crime.

A Canada-wide warrant for Boudreau was issued on Nov. 7, 2017 and police consider him to be armed and dangerous, and the public is advised not to approach him.

The news release states that Boudreau may be in the company of Mandi Leigh Boucher, 25, of the Buffalo Lake Metis Settlement, who was reported missing on the same day Mountain's body was discovered.

Investigators have been following up on tips that Boudreau and Boucher may have been seen in the Kamloops, Lac La Biche, St. Paul, Boyle, Camrose and Edmonton areas.

Boudreau is described as Metis, 188 lbs., 5'6" tall, with black hair, brown eyes, and tattoos on his neck and right side of his face.

Boucher is described as Metis, approximately 5'1" tall, approximately 150 lbs., with brown hair and green eyes.

Anyone with information on their whereabouts is asked to contact Lac La Biche RCMP at 780-623-4380 or your local police detachment. You can remain anonymous by contacting Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477.
